Panel data set of The National Model Society of Specialized Farmers' Cooperatives from 2014 to 2020

Based on the Interim Measures for the Assessment and Monitoring of National Demonstration Cooperatives for Specialized Farmers (Agricultural Economic Development (2013) No. 10, hereinafter referred to as the Measures), this data set collects and collates the list of national Demonstration cooperatives for Specialized farmers published by relevant ministries and commissions from 2014 to 2020, and matches the years when they were selected and removed from the list of national demonstration cooperatives. As well as the year of establishment, the year of withdrawal (note cancellation), and the county-level administrative division of the location, the panel data including the information of more than 10,000 national model cooperatives are finally formed. Through this panel data, we can better understand the life cycle and survival of high-quality farmer cooperatives in different regions, and deeply analyze the regional differences in the high-quality development of cooperatives and the driving factors behind them.

本数据集依据《国家农民专业合作社示范社评定及监测暂行办法》（农经发〔2013〕10号，以下简称《办法》），收集整理了2014至2020年各相关部委发布的国家农民专业合作社示范社名录，匹配其入选、退出全国示范社名录的年份，以及成立年份、退出年份（注：注销）、所在地县级行政区划信息，最终形成涵盖超1万家国家示范合作社的面板数据（panel data）。依托该面板数据，可更清晰地洞悉不同区域优质农民合作社的生命周期与存续状况，并深入剖析合作社高质量发展的区域差异及其背后的驱动因素。
