OECD Climate Policy Stringency, Energy Intensity and Industrial Competitiveness Dataset (2000-2023)

The dataset was compiled from the OECD Climate Actions and Policies Measurement Framework (CAPMF), the United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO), and the World Bank World Development Indicators (WDI).</p><p dir="ltr">Climate policy is represented by OECD CAPMF indicators covering sectoral, cross-sectoral and international policy areas.

Industrial competitiveness is represented by the UNIDO Competitive Industrial Performance Index, while energy intensity captures the amount of primary energy used relative to economic output. The dataset also includes GDP per capita, GDP growth, trade openness, urbanisation and foreign direct investment.</p><p dir="ltr">Country identifiers and a study-specific income-group variable are included to facilitate panel and comparative analysis.
