Firm-Level Panel Data on Operational Water Cost Exposure and Adaptation

Firm-level panel data used to examine corporate adaptive strategies to rising water resource costs. The dataset employs a difference-generalized method of moments estimator to capture dynamic adjustment processes. It was authored by Shweta Dasgupta and last updated on 2026-05-22.

Use Cases

• Modeling the relationship between operational water cost exposure and firm profitability based on the described panel data.
• Analyzing heterogeneity in firm adaptation measures across varying levels of water cost exposure.
• Studying dynamic adjustment processes in corporate strategy using the difference-GMM estimator mentioned in the description.

Strengths

• Dataset is openly licensed under CC-BY-4.0.
• The methodology addresses endogeneity and unobserved heterogeneity using a difference-GMM estimator.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• The primary data file is a 19.4 KB DOCX document, suggesting limited raw data scope.
