Annual EM external-debt sustainability panel, 1990 onward: World Bank International Debt Statistics (IDS) via the keyless WDI API v2 (CC BY-4.0) for 14 major emerging economies — external debt stocks (current US$), debt stocks as % of GNI, and total debt service as % of exports. One row per country x year (three-series intersection, never imputed); carries YoY changes, fixed-cut debt-service and debt/GNI tiers, a documented 0-100 debt-burden score and a rising-service flag. Country-risk / sovereign-debt models join on year + country_code.

Column	Type	Description
year	integer	Calendar year (panel join key). (unit: year)
country	string	Country name (shared normalization layer; falls back to the World Bank label). (unit: string)
country_code	string	ISO 3166-1 alpha-3 country code. (unit: string)
external_debt_stock_usd	float	Total external debt stocks (WDI DT.DOD.DECT.CD): debt owed to nonresidents repayable in currency, goods or services — public, publicly guaranteed and private nonguaranteed long-term debt, use of IMF credit, and short-term debt. (unit: current US$)
external_debt_gni_pct	float	Total external debt stocks as % of gross national income (WDI DT.DOD.DECT.GN.ZS) — the stock sustainability ratio. (unit: percent of GNI)
debt_service_exports_pct	float	Total debt service (principal repayments + interest actually paid) as % of exports of goods, services and primary income (WDI DT.TDS.DECT.EX.ZS) — the liquidity-burden read. (unit: percent of exports)
debt_stock_yoy_pct	float	1-year % change of the debt stock (null for each country's first year and across upstream gaps — only consecutive calendar years compare). (unit: percent)
debt_gni_yoy_pp	float	1-year point change of debt/GNI (null across upstream gaps). (unit: percentage points)
debt_service_yoy_pp	float	1-year point change of the debt-service ratio (null across upstream gaps). (unit: percentage points)
debt_service_tier	string	Debt-service burden tier on fixed cut points: low (<15%), moderate (15-25%), elevated (25-40%), severe (>=40% of exports). (unit: category)
debt_gni_tier	string	Debt-stock tier on fixed cut points: comfortable (<30%), watch (30-50%), stressed (50-75%), distressed (>=75% of GNI). (unit: category)
debt_burden_score	float	Documented 0-100 composite: 100 * (0.5 * minmax(clip(debt_service_exports_pct, 0, 60)) + 0.5 * minmax(clip(external_debt_gni_pct, 0, 120))); higher = heavier external-debt burden. (unit: 0-100 score)
debt_service_rising_flag	integer	1 when debt_service_yoy_pp >= +3pp (a sharp liquidity-burden jump), else 0. (unit: flag)
row_hash	string	Deterministic 16-hex sha256 of country_code + year + the three level values (idempotency key). (unit: string)
