The Database of Political Institutions presents institutional and electoral results data such as measures of checks and balances, tenure and stability of the government, identification of party affiliation and ideology, and fragmentation of opposition and government parties in the legislature, among others. The current version of the database, which is now hosted at the IDB, expands its coverage to about 180 countries for 40 years, 1975–2015. Researchers at the World Bank Development Research Group first compiled the database in 2000 (see citation information below). It has become one of the most cited databases in comparative political economy and comparative political institutions. Almost 3000 studies have used this database so far as a source of institutional and political data in their empirical analysis.

Crime is a major problem in Latin America and the Caribbean. With 9 percent of the world's population, the region accounts for 33 percent of global homicides. This dataset makes extensive new survey data available to help identify what anti-crime policies citizens in the region demand from their governments, as well as who is demanding what and why. This dataset accompanies a recent report on Combating Crime in Latin America and the Caribbean, https://publications.iadb.org/en/combating-crime-latin-america-and-caribbean-what-public-policies-do-citizens-want

Data from Americas Barometer study were collected in 2016–17 and refer to the subsample of 17 countries in Latin America. The IADB–LAPOP–Capital Cities Project includes data collected from 2017, between August and September. A total of 6,040 interviews in seven countries were conducted as part of the project (Chile, Colombia, Honduras, Mexico, Panama, Peru, and Uruguay).

The Population and Housing Censuses database contains the censuses harmonized in such a way as to provide comparable census information over time and across countries. The variables in these databases are constructed under a common approach and structure, with standardized names, definitions, and disaggregations, and stored in a single file for each country. Currently, the harmonization of Population and Housing Censuses includes databases for 22 countries.

The indicators are categorized into seven themes: demographics, education, labor market, housing, income, migration, and diversity. When possible, we add multiple disaggregations for indicators. The available disaggregations are ethnicity, gender, age, education level, and area of geographic residence.

The management and harmonization of this database are provided by the Social Sector (SCL) of the Vice Presidency of Knowledge and Sectors to strengthen the analytical content of projects and studies.

La segunda ronda de la Encuesta BID/Cornell Coronavirus hace un seguimiento a la encuesta BID/Cornell Coronavirus de la primera ronda en donde se recolectó información relacionada a los impactos de la pandemia del Covid-19 en los mercados laborales, seguridad alimentaria, distanciamiento social, y conocimiento acerca de los síntomas y formas de contagio del Coronavirus. El objetivo principal de la segunda ronda fue hacer un seguimiento a los hogares partícipes de la primera ronda, recolectando información más detallada de ingresos y activos de los hogares, así como también datos de beneficiarios de programas sociales existentes antes de la pandemia, inclusión financiera, preferencias políticas y comportamientos relacionados con el Covid-19 en general. El procedimiento de recolección de datos de la segunda ronda, así como su divulgación, se llevaron a cabo de la misma forma que para el caso de la primera ronda. Los datos de las dos rondas de la encuesta se unieron para crear un panel de datos a nivel de hogar. Al realizar un ejercicio de correlación entre participación en la segunda ronda y características demográficas, encontramos que ser mujer aumentó la probabilidad de participar en la segunda ronda de la encuesta. Así mismo, personas con un nivel de educación más alto y con mayores ingresos fueron más propensas a participar en la segunda ronda. Acorde con estos resultados, encontramos también una correlación positiva entre tener 40 años en adelante y participar en la encuesta de seguimiento. Los datos del panel de datos son útiles para analizar efectos de la pandemia en situaciones y preferencias más detalladas de los hogares dentro de un país y entre países. Se incluyen ponderadores que corrigen diferencias en el tamaño de la muestra entre países y proveen una mayor ponderación a las observaciones de países con mayor población.
