Data
European ODA project aid
This incoming dataset provides the first geocoded data on subnational European bilateral ODA project aid. I extract and then geotag geographic entities such as cities, regions, and points of interest based on the OECD Creditor Reporting System microdata on aid projects. Stay tuned.
Geodata for economic analysis
I provide readily georeferenced datasets for a number of publicly available socioeconomic data. Please use the appropriate citations listed for the raw data. Updates adding countries and corrections are made frequently. Data uses the geoboundaries.org ADM1 and 2 administrative divisions and are easily mergeable with those shapefiles. Aside from raw data, all mistakes are my own.
