The Brazilian Rouanet Law - sponsorship transactions from 2010 to 2014

This dataset contains structured information on cultural projects funded under Brazil’s National Program for Cultural Support (Programa Nacional de Apoio à Cultura, commonly known as Lei Rouanet). The data were originally obtained from publicly available government sources under Brazil’s Information Access Law (Lei de Acesso à Informação), including the Versalic platform and the Brazilian open data portal. The dataset comprises 106,804 observations and 19 variables, integrating information at both the project level and the sponsor level. Each record corresponds to a sponsorship entry associated with a specific cultural project. The variables can be grouped as follows: Sponsor information: includes the sponsor’s name (SPO_NAME), identification code (SPO_CODE), and type (SPO_TYPE), which distinguishes between individuals (PF) and companies (PJ). It also includes the amount of subsidy allocated to the sponsor (SPO_SUBSIDY) and the year of the transaction (SPO_YEAR). Location variables: include the sponsor’s city (SPO_CITY) and state (SPO_STATE), as well as a macro-regional variable (STA_REGIAO) indicating one of Brazil’s five major regions to which the project’s state belongs. Project information: includes the project identifier (PRO_ID), project name (PRO_NAME), responsible agent (PRO_AGENT), and project location (PRO_STATE). Financial information: includes the amount of subsidy requested (PRO_SUBSIDY_REQUESTED), approved (PRO_SUBSIDY_APPROVED), and effectively received (PRO_SUBSIDY_RECEIVED). Cultural classification variables: include the cultural segment (PRO_SEGMENT), the cultural area in English (PRO_AREA_EN) and its corresponding code (PRO_AREA_CODE), as well as the segment identifier (SEG_ID). The dataset has been cleaned and structured to ensure consistency across variables, although a small number of missing values remain in selected fields (e.g., SPO_TYPE, PRO_AGENT). Numeric variables are provided in standard floating-point or integer formats, while categorical and textual information are encoded as strings. This curated version of the dataset was used for the empirical analysis presented in the associated study. To ensure transparency and reproducibility, the processed dataset is made publicly available via Zenodo. Data Sources The raw data analysed in this study are publicly available under Brazil’s Information Access Law (Lei de Acesso à Informação) at:http://versalic.cultura.gov.br/ Structured data can also be accessed via the Brazilian Open Data Portal:https://dados.gov.br/dados/conjuntos-dados/projetos-do-programa-nacional-de-apoio-a-cultura-lei-rouanet本数据集收录巴西国家文化支持计划（Programa Nacional de Apoio à Cultura，常称《鲁安特法》(Lei Rouanet)）资助的文化项目结构化信息。原始数据源自巴西《信息获取法》(Lei de Acesso à Informação)框架下的公开政府数据源，包括Versalic平台与巴西开放数据门户。 本数据集共包含106,804条观测记录与19个变量，整合了项目层面与资助方层面的双重信息，每条记录对应某一特定文化项目的一笔资助条目。 变量可分为以下类别： 1. 资助方信息：包含资助方名称（SPO_NAME）、身份识别码（SPO_CODE）与类型（SPO_TYPE）——该字段可区分个人（PF）与企业（PJ）两类主体，同时涵盖拨付给资助方的补贴金额（SPO_SUBSIDY）与交易年份（SPO_YEAR）。 2. 区位变量：包含资助方所在城市（SPO_CITY）、州（SPO_STATE），以及宏观区域变量（STA_REGIAO），用于标识项目所属州对应的巴西五大主要区域之一。 3. 项目信息：包含项目标识符（PRO_ID）、项目名称（PRO_NAME）、负责主体（PRO_AGENT）与项目所在地（PRO_STATE）。 4. 财务信息：包含申请的补贴金额（PRO_SUBSIDY_REQUESTED）、获批补贴金额（PRO_SUBSIDY_APPROVED）与实际到账补贴金额（PRO_SUBSIDY_RECEIVED）。 5. 文化分类变量：包含文化细分领域（PRO_SEGMENT）、英文文化领域名称（PRO_AREA_EN）及其对应编码（PRO_AREA_CODE），以及细分领域标识符（SEG_ID）。 本数据集已完成清洗与结构化处理，以保障变量间的一致性，但部分字段仍存在少量缺失值（如SPO_TYPE、PRO_AGENT）。数值变量采用标准浮点型或整型格式存储，分类与文本信息均以字符串形式编码。 本经过整理甄选的数据集版本已用于关联研究中的实证分析。为保障研究透明度与可复现性，处理后的数据集已通过Zenodo平台公开获取。 数据源： 本研究分析的原始数据可依据巴西《信息获取法》(Lei de Acesso à Informação)在以下地址公开获取：http://versalic.cultura.gov.br/ 结构化数据亦可通过巴西开放数据门户访问：https://dados.gov.br/dados/conjuntos-dados/projetos-do-programa-nacional-de-apoio-a-cultura-lei-rouanet
