LIDEL Labs: Libya, Economy, and Data

Field notes

LIDEL describes a four-stage workflow: collect and document original sources, check units and definitions, explain the distinction between verified figures and estimates, then publish revisions and corrections. Its planned public-finance work would connect budgets, sovereign revenues, debt, oversight reports, and actual spending across time. The homepage also outlines a data observatory for source histories and time series, plus comparison and calculation tools, while explicitly noting that these are development plans rather than available products.
