Abstract: | This research note describes a county-level data set for Fujian province. The set includes several hundred thousand observations on a wide range of social and economic attributes, for the period 1978–1993. The set also includes digitized maps showing prefecture and county boundaries, rivers, roads, rail lines, and county seats. This data set is available to all interested researchers, and is currently being used to investigate such issues as the spatial diffusion of new technologies, changes in the branch structure of industry during the reform era, and intercounty disparities in output and consumption. |
