Mapping the Landscape of Transactions: The Governance of Business Relations in Latin America 2017-2018

Contains estimates of the posterior probability of using each of the discovered governance structures for the full spectrum of possible response patterns. With six questions, each with five categories of responses, there are 15,625 possible response patterns. The ES respondents use far fewer than this. For relations with customers, we observe 631. This data set thus enables other researchers to use their own survey data and obtain posterior probabilities for their observed patterns of responses.

With six questions, each with five categories of responses, there are 15,625 possible response patterns. The ES respondents use far fewer than this. For relations with suppliers, we observe 711 distinct combinations of answers. This data file thus enables other researchers to use their own survey data and obtain posterior probabilities for their observed patterns of responses.

The data set contains: (i) the survey responses to the corresponding series of questions, (ii) estimates produced by Latent GOLD of the posterior probability that each firm uses each of the discovered governance structures, and (iii) the unique identifier that enables one-to-one matching of each firm with the full ES data (variable idstd), along with the country identifier, sampling weights, and the stratum of each firm.
