This dataset includes information on economic development projects that have been awarded incentives through Iowa Economic Development Authority programs as early as FY 2003, have signed contracts with the state and are in either the “performance” period, the “maintenance” period or are "in default" as of the end of the fiscal year noted. In most cases, projects are required to have met job, wage and capital investment obligations by their “Project Completion Date”. Beyond the completion date, projects are required to maintain the obligated jobs and investment through the “Maintenance Date." All projects provide information on total project costs, capital investment, as well as the amount of direct assistance and tax credits awarded to the project. Projected and contracted job data is available for all projects. However, project completion jobs and reported jobs is only available for those projects in the "maintenance" period. Projects in the "performance" period are still in the process of being implemented and are not yet complete. Projects in Default were considered “in default” as of the end of the annual report cut-off date (typically end of fiscal year). The status “in default” is a temporary one since businesses are allowed a contractually designated cure period to correct the default. Reasons for being considered “in default” range from not filing required reports to not creating the obligated jobs or investment required by the contract.

This ranking shows the ranks of the major industrial countries as well as the top 5 countries in the field "Enforcing Contracts." Luxembourg offers the best general conditions for the efficiency of contract enforcements and is therefore ranked first.

Does the rise of contract-intensive economic structures in an economy affect political norms and promote democracy? In this study we delineate how the economic structures of commercial contracting can yield the interests, values, and outlooks that favor the democratic rule of law for the enforcement of contracts. Analyses of most countries from 1950 to 2019 show that the increase in the intensity of contract flows has a significant impact on democracy. The results are robust across a range of specifications, measures, control variables, and with instrumental variable regression to check for reverse causality. A change from the tenth to ninetieth percentile in the institutionalization of commercial contracting corresponds with a substantial 77 to 103 percent increase in local average treatment effect (LATE) on democracy in the long run, depending on the measures examined.

Studies have observed a correlation of wealth with democracy, yet it remains unclear how wealth can cause or stabilize democracy. Recent research has shown how the causal mechanism may lie in the economic norm of contracting, as democracy becomes valued as the best means for sustaining a non-predatory government that enforces contracts with impartiality. We extend this research to investigate if norms of economic contracting in societies give rise to, and strengthen, the democratic civil liberties of free speech and association. Drawing on the World Bank’s Financial Structure Database and data on civil liberties from the Varieties of Democracy dataset, analyses of most countries from 1961 to 2019 show that the economic norms of contracting have significant positive effects on the civil liberties of free speech and association and press freedom. With instrumental variable regression, we statistically isolate the causation from contracting to these civil liberties. This study pinpoints that contracting economic activities may strengthen the foundation of civil liberties in countries.
