|description=This variable is taken from the CBR Labour Regulation Index Dataset (‘CBR-LRI’), which provides data on labor laws in 117 countries for the period from (in most cases) 1970 to 2022, except for post-socialist countries (see Adams et al. 2017, 2023). The variable measures the co-determination right of unions/workers in terms of board membership in the country's statutory or case law, constitution and relevant court decisions. The CBR-LRI data was coded using provisions of law and relevant court decisions, which are taken from secondary sources, national law databases, and ILO NATLEX data. The scale ranges from "0" to "1" where "0" corresponds to legal systems not recognizing a right to co-determination for board membership (otherwise) and "1" if the law gives unions and/or workers to right to nominate board-level directors in companies of a certain size.
|codingrules=The coding template (algorithm) with the definition of the variable and instructions for the coding process is described in Adams et al. (2017, 2023). As Adams et al. (2023) describe, the value of the variable "Codetermination board membership" "Equals 1 if the law gives unions and/or workers to right to nominate board-level directors in companies of a certain size. Equals 0 otherwise. Scope for further gradations between 0 and 1 to reflect changes in the strength of the law." The assessment of the scale levels of all variables in the CBR-LRI documentation and the specification of the values in the template are partially incongruent. The scale level was set uniformly to metric for all CBR-LRI data on collective rights in the 1st project phase of CRC 1342; this is retained for pragmatic reasons.
