ladata

This is an R package of datasets I've used to teach my Latin American politics course. The datasets are compiled from a bunch of different sources, and include data on topics such as:

• Sale of colonial provincial offices in 17th-18th century Peru
• Varities of Democracy (V-DEM) indicators
• GDP, imports/exports, population, urbanization, etc.
• Survey data on Racial self-identification, skin-tone
• Land invasions in Brazil
• Survey data on income, household assets, and other measures of poverty
• Survey data on crime, victimization, and beliefs related to punishment

I hope to keep updating this project whenever I teach a new iteration of the class.

Note: For best experience, load tibble or tidyverse while using data.
