Variable: Adjusted retention rate for cabinet ministers

QoG Code: (wgov_mret)


Dataset: The WhoGov Dataset

Description:

The share of cabinet ministers (people included for wgov_min), who were in office the previous year. This measure is adjusted for an expansion of the size of wgov_min, so wgov_min stays constant and the retention rate is therefore not influenced by an expansion of the cabinet.
