What Our Clients Are Saying About Us

Dr Robert A Lawson

It's always a pleasure to work with PRS Group and its data. I deal with a lot of international data from a variety sources and customer service is often lacking. The PRS website works well and if you have a question or problem the staff are quick and cheerful about helping.

Access to historical data, combined with fact-based short and long-term predictions of regime type and stability, gives students the ability to examine risk by looking both back and forward. This data is a treasure for the student as well as the seasoned practitioner.

The ICRG data has several advantages in research over other measures. First, it is available for a far longer time period, extending back over 30 years for many countries. Second, it is geographically comprehensive, covering more countries than most sources. Finally, it reflects current events in a way structural measures cannot.
