The variables are described in the adherent codebook moricz_R1892_source_data_codebook.csv. Contains table 1 from “Bidrag till Sverige official statistik R) Valstatistik. XI. Statistiska Centralbyråns underdåniga berättelse rörande kommunala rösträtten år 1892” (biSOS R 1892). SCB provides the scanned publication on their website. Dollar Typing Service typed and delivered the data in 2015. All numerical variables but two have been checked. This is easy to do since nearly all columns should sum up to another column. For “Folkmangd” (population) the numbers have been corrected against U1892. The highest estimate of errors in the variables is 0.005 percent (0.5 promille), calculated at cell level. The two numerical variables which have not been checked is “hogsta_fyrk_jo“ and “hogsta_fyrk_ov“, as this cannot much be compared internally in the data. According to my calculations as the worst case scenario, I have measurement errors of 0.0043 percent (0.43 promille) in those variables. --------------------------------------------- moricz_R1871_source_data.csv --------------------------------------------- A UTF-8 encoded .csv-file with the source data. The variables are described in the adherent codebook moricz_R1871_source_data_codebook.csv. Contains table 1 from “Bidrag till Sverige official statistik R) Valstatistik. II. Statistiska Centralbyråns underdåniga berättelse rörande kommunala rösträtten år 1871” (biSOS R 1871). SCB provides the scanned publication on their website. Dollar Typing Service typed and delivered the data in 2015. The variables have been checked for accuracy, which is feasible since columns and rows should sum. The variables that most likely carry mistakes are “hogsta_fyrk_al” and “hogsta_fyrk_jo”.
