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.
