Socio-economic and gold mining information of municipalities in Colombia
https://doi.org/10.5878/8d5d-kz39
This dataset is part of the research project "All That Glitters Is Not Gold? Approaching the Sub-National and Spatial Impact of a Gold Rush and Policy Changes", funded by the Environment for Development Initiative (EfD). It includes socio-economic data from over 1,000 municipalities in Colombia, covering mining royalty revenues, forest cover and deforestation, and gold production. The dataset is longitudinal, meaning that for most variables, values are reported for 2001 to 2020. The data was collected from secondary data sources (all public sources, listed in the data description documents) and compiled in a single dataset. There are 118 variables and 21920 cases, each case being a municipality for each of the 20 years.
