Comparative Court's Decisions Project: This project compiles publicly available decisions issued by apex courts and processes them using NLP techniques following some CompLaw coding guidelines (Gabel et al., 2024). The dataset is designed to support cross-national research on constitutional adjudication and judicial behavior. At the moment, the project covers decisions from the Constitutional Courts of Colombia (1995–2025) and Ecuador (2008–2025), with ongoing updates and planned extensions to additional jurisdictions.
Direct Democracy in Latin America: This original dataset covers all direct democracy processes held across 18 Latin American countries from 1900 to 2025. Because these processes often include multiple ballot questions, the dataset uses the individual question as the unit of analysis. It contains 60+ covariates capturing key features of each question, including the origin and scope of the proposal, electoral outcomes, and the broader political context in which the vote took place.

A dataset on datasets: This is a compilation of public datasets that is mostly focused on comparative politics but also covers some American politics and political economy. I try to add useful data regularly (suggestions are welcome).
