QoG Code: (head_cop)


Dataset: Swedish Agency Head Dataset

Description:

Denotes whether an agency head has served as a chief of planning (planeringschef). The chief of planning is a politically appointed position at the Government Offices, usually focused on coordinating the government's political advisers and carrying out various policy relevant investigations. Note, however, that some ministers are also known to have used the position largely as a way to reward and retain competent personnel within their departments, as opposed to filling any specific functional role.
