Internationalization in the Baltic Regional Accounts: A NUTS 3 Region Dataset

This dataset is a NUTS 3 Region Dataset, corresponding to the Baltic regional accounts. The Baltic countries contain 21 NUTS 3 regions, distributed over 11 in Lithuania, 6 in Latvia and 5 in Estonia. Our dataset encompasses internationalization variables seldom available at regional level, involving trade, FDI, and migration. In addition, the dataset contains domestic variables on fixed capital, labor participation, price indexes, value added, information production and sharing, demographics, the population's well-being, and physical settlement features. All variables cover at least 2007 to 2015 and mostly up to 2019, but some variables cover a longer period from 1991 to 2020. By sharing the dataset, we hope to foster spatial research on internationalization and the spatial economy in the Baltics. When industry-specification is relevant and available, we report data across 11 industries, corresponding the classification applied in Eurostat and OECD's regional statistics. The dataset builds on a combination of micro and macro data sources. The collection and processing of the data is documented in the affiliated article: "Holmen, R. B., Gavoille, N., Masso, J., & Burinskas, A. (2023). Internationalization in the Baltic Regional Accounts: A NUTS 3 Region Dataset, Data Descriptor, Data". The dataset is provided in both Excel format and Stata format.

本数据集为NUTS 3级区域数据集（NUTS 3 Region Dataset），对应波罗的海区域账户体系。波罗的海三国共计21个NUTS 3级区域，其中立陶宛11个、拉脱维亚6个、爱沙尼亚5个。本数据集涵盖了区域层面较为稀缺的国际化相关变量，涉及贸易、外商直接投资（Foreign Direct Investment, FDI）与移民相关指标。此外，数据集还包含多类国内相关变量，涵盖固定资产、劳动参与率、物价指数、增加值、信息生产与共享、人口统计特征、居民福祉以及实体定居特征等维度。所有变量的时间覆盖范围至少为2007年至2015年，多数变量更新至2019年，部分变量的时间跨度更长，可达1991年至2020年。本次公开本数据集，旨在推动波罗的海地区国际化与空间经济领域的空间研究发展。当行业分类标准具备相关性且可获取时，我们将按照欧盟统计局（Eurostat）与经济合作与发展组织（Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development, OECD）区域统计所采用的分类体系，将数据划分为11个行业进行披露。本数据集整合微观与宏观两类数据源构建而成。本数据集的采集与处理流程已在附属论文中详细说明：Holmen, R.

(2023). 《波罗的海区域账户中的国际化：NUTS 3级区域数据集、数据说明与数据》（Internationalization in the Baltic Regional Accounts: A NUTS 3 Region Dataset, Data Descriptor, Data）。本数据集同时提供Excel格式与Stata格式两种文件格式。
