Correlation of Socioeconomic and Environmental Factors with Municipal oil Royalties and CF

Liniker Fernandes da Silva's study correlates environmental, economic, and social variables with oil and mineral royalties collected in major producing municipalities in Brazil between 2004 and 2010. The dataset includes city-level data on total municipal revenue, investments in sanitation and environmental management, population, and the FIRJAM municipal development index. Analysis using Principal Component Analysis suggests royalty collection does not directly correlate with greater social or environmental development.

Use Cases

• Analyzing correlations between municipal revenue and environmental investments based on city-level data.
• Modeling the relationship between population size and royalty collection for resource-producing municipalities.
• Investigating the impact of legal frameworks on development outcomes using the FIRJAM development index.

Strengths

• Data is disaggregated by city, allowing for municipal-level analysis.
• Covers a defined seven-year time range from 2004 to 2010.
• Includes multiple variable types: financial, environmental, social, and a composite development index.

Limitations

• Row count and file format are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred from the description.
• Last update date is unknown; freshness unverified.
