China Multi-Generational Panel Dataset, Liaoning (CMGPD-LN), 1749-1909

The China Multi-Generational Panel Dataset - Liaoning (CMGPD-LN) is drawn from the population registers compiled by the Imperial Household Agency (neiwufu) in Shengjing, currently the northeast Chinese province of Liaoning, between 1749 and 1909. It provides 1.5 million triennial observations of more than 260,000 residents from 698 communities. The population mainly consists of immigrants from North China who settled in rural Liaoning during the early eighteenth century, and their descendants. The data provide socioeconomic, demographic, and other characteristics for individuals, households, and communities, and record demographic outcomes such as marriage, fertility, and mortality. The data also record specific disabilities for a subset of adult males. Additionally, the collection includes monthly and annual grain price data, custom records for the city of Yingkou, as well as information regarding natural disasters, such as floods, droughts, and earthquakes. This dataset is unique among publicly available population databases because of its time span, volume, detail, and completeness of recording, and because it provides longitudinal data not just on individuals, but on their households, descent groups, and communities.

《中国多代际面板数据集——辽宁（CMGPD-LN）》源自盛京（今辽宁省）内务府（neiwufu）编纂的人口登记簿，时间跨度为1749年至1909年。该数据集涵盖了超过698个社区，记录了超过26万居民的1.5百万次三年期观察数据。人口主体为18世纪初从中原移民至辽宁农村的移民及其后裔。数据提供了个人、家庭和社区的社会经济、人口统计及其他特征信息，并记录了婚姻、生育和死亡率等人口统计结果。此外，数据还记录了部分成年男性的具体残疾情况。该数据集还包含月度和年度粮食价格数据、营口城市的习俗记录，以及关于自然灾害（如洪水、干旱和地震）的信息。该数据集在公开的人口数据库中独具特色，其时间跨度、数据量、细节的丰富性以及记录的完整性均属罕见，且不仅提供了个体纵向数据，还包括其家庭、世系群体和社区的纵向数据。
