Minimum Comparable Areas for the period 1872-2010: an aggregation of Brazilian municipalities

The number of municipalities in Brazil has risen continually, and consequentially the delineation of spatial units varies substantially over time. The present paper develops a routine for the generation of time-consistent 'Minimum Comparable Areas' (AMC) for any arbitrary sub-period betwe...

Minimum Comparable Areas for the period 1872-2010: an aggregation of Brazilian municipalities
description The number of municipalities in Brazil has risen continually, and consequentially the delineation of spatial units varies substantially over time. The present paper develops a routine for the generation of time-consistent 'Minimum Comparable Areas' (AMC) for any arbitrary sub-period between two census years in the range between the first and last demographic census 1872-2010. It relies on recently compiled material by the Brazilian Institute for Geography and Statistics (IBGE). The corresponding Stata code is provided in the Appendix of the paper. Thus, the developed AMCs are immediately accessible and enable long-term panel studies with regional data.
