Factory Operating Time and Labor Data in Late Imperial Russia

This dataset supports replication of a study on factory operating time, mechanization, and labor force composition in late Imperial Russia. It contains data for factory-level, district-level, and province-level analyses as described in the associated research paper. The author is Amanda Gregg.

Use Cases

• Analyze the relationship between part-year operation and labor force composition across factories.
• Investigate the correlation between mechanization levels and operating time at the district or province level.
• Replicate the factory-level statistical models from the original study on modernization.

Strengths

• Data is structured to support replication of multi-level (factory, district, province) analyses.
• Associated with a specific, peer-reviewed academic study on Imperial Russian industrialization.

Limitations

• The specific variables, row count, and file formats are not detailed in the provided metadata.
• Data scope is limited to the factories and time period studied in the original paper.
