Replication data for: Presidents and the Politics of Agency Design: Administrative Agency Insulation Event File, 2003

In this expanded data set there are multiple observations for each agency to allow for the inclusion of time-varying covariates in parametric models of agency duration or hazard rates. This means, for example, that an agency created in 1946 and still in existence in 1997 will have 52 observations.

In addition to a unique agency identifier and a variable indicating the year of observation, each observation includes the date the observation started, the date the observation ended, and the length of time the agency has been alive. Each observation also includes state variables, 0 for alive, and 1 for terminated. A more complete description of the data is included in the codebook below.
