What do we mean by Policy Data?

Policy data are generated in a wide range of situations, by different entities (governments / other institutions), using varying types of controls (policy options or variables).

About the Policy App

Equinox incorporates a new module focusing on policy data. Policy data currently supported (TODO)

The app serves several purposes:

• Makes the raw policy data easily available online
• Allows exploration of statistical properties and associations with portfolio data

In practice the Policy Explorer module retrieves policy data from outside sources, integrates them in a uniform interface and provides data views, visualizations and, where applicable, modelling functionality.

NOTE: Equinox is still in active development. As the functionality of the platform is enhanced, further sources of open data will be integrated where appropriate.
