2000, as V-Dem Institute’s 2026 release gives it · stored as published, never rewritten

V-Dem's measure of a state's fiscal source of revenue asks what the central government mainly lives on: nothing it can raise itself, loans and foreign aid, natural-resource rents and state assets, taxes on property and trade, or broad taxes on sales, incomes and profits. It is an expert-coded estimate on an open-ended scale centred near zero, and a higher figure means reliance on broader taxation — the end V-Dem treats as greater fiscal capacity.

State Fiscal Source of Revenue, 2000 covers 167 countries. Sweden is highest, at 3.135; Georgia is lowest, at -2.858. The middle country reads 0.884. Against 1999, 22 values changed (16 up, 6 down), the same countries are covered.

How values are stored

One year of the 2026 release
Every year in this series comes from V-Dem Institute’s 2026 release, recalculated on one method, so a change from one year to the next is not a revision. It can differ from what was first published for 2000.
165 distinct values among 167
Values are stored exactly as published, to 3 decimals. 2 countries share 0.469. Countries sharing a value share a position too.
Nothing missing
Every one of the 167 countries has every column.
