Replication Data for: Long ties, disruptive life events and economic prosperity

The data measures the frequency of long ties in different geographic locations of the US and Mexico. Long ties, the edges in the connectivity network without any mutual contact, have been shown to play an important role in access to economic opportunities. Clustering coefficient is yet another related measure that captures the level of structural diversity in a network. Both these measures are provided at two different levels: zip codes and counties (or municipalities in Mexico). The data is described in more detail in the accompanying paper “Long ties, disruptive life events and economic prosperity.”

本数据集测量了美国及墨西哥不同地理区域的长期联系频率。长期联系，即连接网络中不存在任何相互接触的边，已被证实对获取经济机会发挥着至关重要的作用。聚类系数则是另一个相关指标，它捕捉了网络中结构多样性的水平。这两项指标均提供两个不同层面的数据：邮政编码和县（或墨西哥的市镇）。详细数据描述见随附论文《长期联系、颠覆性生活事件与经济繁荣》。
