Data for The Andean-Amazonian Bioeconomy: A New Paradigm for Productivity and Well-being Beyond Traditional Economic Models

The empirical analysis in this study is based on an unbalanced panel data set covering six Latin American countries over a 29-year period. This dataset was carefully constructed to capture the multiple dimensions of the Andean-Amazonian Bioeconomy. It includes key variables from three distinct sources: traditional socioeconomic indicators (such as per capita income and life expectancy), biophysical and environmental metrics (such as biocultural savings), and the central metric of our research, the Total Factor Productivity of the Andean-Amazonian Bioeconomy (TFP-BAA), derived from the application of the Malmquist Index. The combination of this data allows us to transcend conventional economic analysis and explore the interplay between economic progress, social welfare, and biophysical limits within the context of the "Vivir Bien" paradigm.
