Database of water, agriculture and economic development in Huang-Huai-ai region of China

The database of water, agriculture and economic development contains 61 prefecture-level cities in the Huang-Huai-Hai region from 2010 to 2019.

Firstly, we summarize the city-level agricultural dataset from the Provincial Bureau of Statistics, which contains the annual agricultural output, total planting area, labor, fertilizer, and machinery of each prefecture-level city. 

Secondly, we collect agricultural output (total land value per hectare) as the output and four main types of inputs: labor, fertilizer, machinery, and agricultural water consumption.

Thirdly, we also collect city-level unbalanced panel data from the Water Resources Bulletin database, which contains annual data on agricultural water consumption, groundwater supply, precipitation, and groundwater resources.
