1950 to 2024 data on land rent and its appropriation mechanisms for eight South American countries, produced by projects PICT-2020-SERIEA-00496 and PIP CONICET 2022–2024. The dataset quantifies the surplus value from natural resources using a central calculation procedure based on the profit rate differential. It was authored by Juan Kornblihtt and is hosted on Harvard Dataverse.
Use Cases
- Analyzing historical trends in land rent based on the described profit rate differential calculation.
- Comparing land rent appropriation mechanisms across countries based on the described quantification via taxes, exchange rate overvaluation, and domestic price suppression.
- Modeling the distribution of surplus value from natural resources based on the described theoretical framework of non-reproducible conditions.
Strengths
- Covers a 74-year time range from 1950 to 2024.
- Includes data for eight countries: Argentina, Brazil, Bolivia, Chile, Costa Rica, Paraguay, Uruguay, and Venezuela.
- Calculation methodology is described, suggesting transparency and reproducibility.
Limitations
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
- Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
