In this document, we first provide a skeleton which describes the different possible combinations of different fields in the CoronaNet data before then providing examples of how cleaned data for different types of policies and policy updates should look like.
Note the syntax of the document is such that when a word is written within a brackets: [], it refers to a field within the released version of the CoronaNet data (e.g. [type]).
In this section, we specify the different possible combinations of different fields in the CoronaNet data. We also evaluate the extent to which the data comply with these specifications. We start by first describing the unit of analysis of a unique record, how records are tracked over time using the [policy_id], before detailing how dates are captured in the dataset. We then outline different combinations possible for policy types ([type]) and subtypes ([type_sub_cat]), before detailing how policy initiators are defined.
Each record receives a unique [record_id] which documents different dimensions of a policy. At a minimum, the record_id should include the following information:
Where applicable, the following information may also be documented:
Additional meta data that is captured include:
Data on the CoronaNet Policy Activity Index is recorded in the following variables:
The [policy_id] allows for the tracking of a policy history over time; one can use a policy_id to track whether there have been updates to a policy.
It is possible to update the following dimensions of a policy including:
Updates to a policy should have the following fields be identical:
In other words, it is not possible to update the policy initiator, policy type, policy geographic target or policy demographic target — when these dimensions of a policy change, then the orignal policy should be ended and a new policy must be coded.
The following code evaluates the extent to which these coding rules have been followed. Note that changes to the survey have been made to try and minimize the ability to make such errors:
check_updates = coronanet %>%
mutate(check_id = paste(country,
province,
city,
type,
type_sub_cat,
target_country,
target_province,
target_city,
target_other,
target_who_what) )%>%
group_by(policy_id, type_sub_cat) %>%
summarise(unique_rows = n_distinct(check_id)) %>%
ungroup()## `summarise()` has grouped output by 'policy_id'. You can override using the `.groups` argument.if (table(check_updates$unique_rows)[1] == dim(check_updates)[1]){
print('All Good!')
} else{
print(paste0('Errors in coding updates found for ', sum(table(check_updates$unique_rows)[-1]), ' records'))
}## [1] "Errors in coding updates found for 34 records"Updates to a policy should have different announced, start and end dates from the original new_entry. In other words, an original new_entry of a policy and an update to that new_entry should not have identical announced, start and end dates.
The following code evaluates the extent to which these coding rules have been followed. Note that changes to the survey have been made to try and minimize the ability to make such errors:
check_dates = coronanet %>%
mutate(check_date = paste(date_announced, date_start, date_end ))%>%
group_by(policy_id, type_sub_cat) %>%
summarise(unique_rows = n_distinct(check_date),

} else{

}## [1] "Errors in coding dates found for 1977 records"Policies are divided into 20 broad types (variable ‘type’) and 100+ (variable ‘type_sub_cat’). The broad policy types available in the data are as follows:
Policy sub-types (variable ‘type’) are linked to specific types (variable ‘type_sub_cat’). Because of changes over time to the CoronaNet taxonomy, some sub types may be deprecated and will need to be cleaned in order to be consistent with the current taxonomy.
