Vanhanen

The Vanhanen data was obtained from the official Polyarchy dataset webpage. Version 1.2 was used, and the database was downloaded. The table "Data" is the table obtained from the dataset in a slightly modified form. Additional fields to specify the start year and end year were added, as well as field to code the election type the same way as with the IDEA dataset, e.g. The field "End Year" was modified to contain 2004 whenever it contained nothing in the original data.

The function "Expand" in the module "ExpandVanhanen" was used to generate the table "DataExpanded". The function manually declares an end year of 2004 for the row expansion, but this is almost without any effect.

The row expansion converts the following data in the table "Data" as shown with the example of the USA.
