Ukrainian legislative networks dataset (U-LeNet)

Context

The U-LeNet dataset was created by the Kyiv School of Economics (KSE) research team with the support of the Office of Naval Research (ONR) N00014-17-1-2675 funding.

Current repository includes scripts used for preparing the data and code for some of the projects made using the U-LeNet data:

  • Directory Cleaning data - code for wrangling and merging raw files with data

  • Directory BI_Sankey - code for creating a shiny application for vizualizing the migration patterns of MPs between Palriaments of different years

Content

The data include the following sets:

  1. Roll call voting 2002-2019

  2. Legislative co-authorship 2002-2019

  3. Attributes of bills and legislative acts

  4. Attributes of Members of parliament (MPs) 1998-2019

Data can be downloaded from the Kaggle page of the project. Currently the database of MPs attributes is available.

Additional materials

  1. Ukrainian Parliament BI tool- migration of MPs between Parliaments and Factions (link to shiny application)

  2. Selected models and analyses (R scripts) - see our Github repository

Work in progress (soon to be added):

  1. Declarations of MPs – wealth and ties to industries

  2. Voting in committees

  3. Discussions in committees – transcripts of speeches and conversations

Inspiration

The U-LeNet data allow:

  • Detecting groups of interests in Parliament (cluster analysis, SNA)

  • Detecting collaboration (co-authorship and co-voting)

  • Predicting the success of a bill

  • Testing SNA effects in legislation: QAP correlations, ERGM models, longitudinal network models

Broadly, it allows testing scientific and policy research questions related to the process of legislation.
