Pabulib
Pabulib is an open PArticipatory BUdgeting LIBrary. The aim of this website is to collect the participatory budgeting data from all over the world. In a companion paper we have introduced universal .pb data format in which we store all the files.
We hope that Pabulib will foster meaningful research on PB, in particularly by helping the computational social choice community to offer better aggregation methods to be used in real-world instances of PB.
CBIP
The Jagiellonian Center for Quantitative Research in Political Science (CBIP) is an interdisciplinary research center focusing on the intersection of mathematics, computer science, and political science, ranging from classic and computational social choice theory, through mathematical modeling of elections and voting, to the application of machine learning and data mining algorithms to political science problems such as detection of gerrymandering or identification of voting patterns. The Center's research team includes mathematicians, computer scientists, political scientists, physicists, sociologists, lawyers, and geographers. In addition to research, the Center also develops and maintains database resources for researchers working on electoral systems, legislative studies, and political parties.
Authors
The Pabulib project was invented and is being developed by Dariusz Stolicki (a political scientist from the Jagiellonian University, Poland), Stanisław Szufa (a computer scientist from the Université Paris Dauphine-PSL, France), and by Nimrod Talmon (a computer scientist from the Ben-Gurion University, Israel).
Data is collected and processed by Ignacy Janiszewski (Data Engineer from Jagiellonian University, Poland).
