Low-Altitude Economy infrastructure and sustainable urban transport governance in Vietnam (2018–2023)

This dataset provides replication data for the study examining the impact of Low-Altitude Economy (LAE) infrastructure on sustainable urban transport performance in Vietnam. The dataset consists of a balanced panel of 63 provinces covering the period 2018–2023. Variables capture low-altitude economy infrastructure intensity, environmental governance capacity, institutional quality, transport performance indicators, and socioeconomic control variables. The dataset supports causal identification using staggered difference-in-differences estimators, instrumental variable estimation, and spatial econometric models, including the Spatial Durbin Model (SDM).
