These data sets were created as part of The Center for International Development’s ongoing research into the role of geography in economic development (see www.cid.harvard.edu/economic.htm). They have been created between 1998 and 1999.

CID's geography data sets have been organized into three general groups:

  1. General Measures of Geography,
  2. Infectious Diseases, and
  3. Agricultural Measures.

There is a separate README file for each group.

Please reference CID if you use this data in a publication.
