Variable: Independence of Selection of Executive

QoG Code: (iaep_ise)


Dataset: Institutions and Elections Project Data

Description:

Is there an executive chosen independently of the legislature (like a president, for example)? If these processes that select the executive are distinct from that which selects the legislature, then the authors consider the two to be independent. The selection processes, moreover, can involve different - albeit competing or complimentary - forms of selection.
