Latin America Natural Resource Data

Compiled for the AVINA Foundation study on green accounting in Latin America, the natural resource data consist of 21 Excel workbooks which cover the following countries: Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, Guyana, Mexico, Paraguay, Peru, Suriname, Uruguay and Venezuela. The data were compiled for the purpose of calculating resource rents, which in turn were used to estimate changes in the values of natural resource stocks. They pertain to three categories of natural resources: fossil fuels, metal ores and roundwood.
