Raw data refers to the original input datasets downloaded from the DMS following a multi-level review process to ensure accuracy for analysis, and cleaned by dropping variables irrelevant for the scoring process. The final WBL index and scores for the WBL 2026 Report are calculated using these raw datasets. DMS was designed to ensure data confidentiality: The system is accessible online only when connected to the World Bank\u2019s network and requires a username and password to sign in.

As a result, most users will not be able to access the raw inputs or fully reproduce the data construction from scratch. For transparency and methodological documentation, this reproducibility package therefore includes the full analysis and data-processing code, but does not include the restricted raw datasets.\n\nUsers who have been granted access to the underlying restricted data can reproduce the results by:\n\n- Placing the approved raw datasets in the folder structure described in this repository.\n- Opening the main script (`master.do`).\n- Updating the local paths if needed.\n- Running the script from start to finish.\n","technology_requirements":"Runtime: 5 minutes"},"tags":[{"tag":"DOI"},{"tag":"Open Code"}],"schematype":"script"}
