The 2013 SERF Index

The 2013 SERF Index Update is now an outdated version of the SERF Index. The data files are provided here for the convenience of researchers who may be currently using these older versions of the data. The 2013 SERF Index Update provides SERF Index scores for 11 separate years; 2000 through 2010, and can be downloaded below. The Core SERF Index covers approximately 100 countries (the exact number depending on the year) and up to 150 countries for the component Right Indices, and is comparable across the core countries and across the 11 years. The Supplementary SERF Index covers approximately 25 high income OECD countries (the exact number depending on the year) and up to 30 countries for the component Right Indices, and is comparable across the high income OECD countries and across the 11 years. The series for each year uses the most recently available data for each country as of the specified year (eg. 2010 ) when computing the index. However, because the surveys providing many of the indicators are not conducted annually, the data used for each year’s series are not always unique. For example, in the case of the Right to Education Index for Venezuela, both the 2010 and 2009 series use data on the combined school enrollment rate in 2009. The technical note for this data set can be downloaded below.
