Dataset for "The energy and Gross Domestic Product causality nexus in Latin America 1900-2010"

This dataset contains the annual modern energy consumption (the sum of coal, oil, gas, and primary electricity) of 20 Latin American countries from 1856 to year 2010. It has been built from pre-existing compilations by energy historians which have been linked to internationally available statistics after 1970. Data are expressed in terajules (TJ). This energy database is the one used by Levia and Rubio-Varas (2020)(https://doi.org/10.32479/ijeep.8670).
