Economics Working Paper from Condorcet Center for political Economy at CREM-CNRS from Condorcet Center for political Economy

Abstract: This article introduces a new dataset focusing on the characteristics of the government members as well as on the legislative production in France, from the early months of the Vth Republic in January 1959 to the end of the XIIIth legislature in March 2012. It is composed of two distinct parts. The first part provides detailed characteristics of each government member, such as age, diploma and period in oÿce. The second part aggregates these characteristics at the government level and contains a large amount of variables covering several aspects of the legislative production, classified into three di?erent groups: political constraints, institutional variables and legislative production. Most of the variables are observed at a monthly rate.
