Data for: Scaling Down the "Netherlands Fallacy": A Local-Level Quantitative Study of the Effect of Affluence on the Carbon Footprint across the United States

The data for the dependent variable (i.e., carbon footprint per capita) are derived from a dataset provided by Citizens’ Climate Lobby (CCL) (Ummel 2014; 2016), which is freely available to the public (upon approval of an application). The data for the independent, or predictor, variables are derived from the mapping software SimplyMap (Geographic Research, Inc. 2011), also a publicly available database. SimplyMap collects information from a variety of sources, including the US Census, the American Community Survey, the Bureau of Labor Statistics as well as Easy Analytic Software, Inc. (2016) in order to provide demographic, economic, geographic, and political information at various scales of analysis.

因变量（即人均碳足迹）的数据源自公民气候游说团（Citizens’ Climate Lobby, CCL）发布的数据集（Ummel 2014；2016），该数据集需提交申请并获批后，方可免费向公众开放获取。自变量（或称预测变量）的数据源自制图软件SimplyMap（Geographic Research, Inc. 2011），该平台同样属于公开可用数据库。SimplyMap从包括美国人口普查局、美国社区调查、美国劳工统计局以及Easy Analytic Software, Inc.（2016）在内的多种来源采集信息，以提供不同分析尺度下的人口统计、经济、地理与政治相关信息。
