The Comparative Income Taxation Database consists of yearly data on the top marginal income tax rate for a legal individual, and includes the amount from which the top marginal rate applies, what law governs the taxation, and the source of this information (law or consulted literature). The sample included in the data set consists of 20 countries. The time period covered for each country is 1800 (or independence) to 2010. A country is considered to have adopted a modern income tax system if an independent government levies taxes yearly on comprehensive and directly assessed forms of personal income.
The Employment Projections (EP) program publishes the classification systems used to produce the employment projections. In addition, EP publishes selected crosswalks between these classification systems and those from other data sources.

However, when binary outcomes are used (e.g., patient recovers or not), there are several additional concerns that have gone unnoticed by many applied researchers.Take a simulated example where our true model data generating process is (to keep things simple, the intercept is zero and the parameters are both set to 1):
