The Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) is the largest budget item in the European Union, but varied data reporting hampers holistic analysis. Here we have assembled the first dataset to our knowledge to report individual CAP payments by standardized CAP funding measures and geolocation. We created this dataset by translating, geolocating to the county or province (NUTS3) level, and consistently harmonizing payment measures for over 16 million payments from 2015, originally reported by EU member states and compiled by the Open Knowledge Foundation Germany. This dataset and code allow in-depth analysis of over €60 billion in public spending by purpose and location for the first time, which enables both individual payment tracing and analysis by aggregation. These data are representative of the distribution of annual CAP payments from 2014 to 2020 and are of interest to researchers, policy makers, non-governmental organizations, and journalists for evaluating the distribution and impacts of CAP spending.
共同农业政策(CAP)是欧盟最大的预算项目,但数据报告的多样性妨碍了全面分析。在此,据我们所知,我们汇编了首个数据集,以按标准化的共同农业政策资金措施和地理位置报告个别共同农业政策支付情况。我们通过翻译、将地理位置定位到县或省(NUTS3)级别,并对2015年欧盟成员国最初报告并由德国开放知识基金会汇编的1600多万笔支付的支付措施进行持续统一,创建了这个数据集。这个数据集和代码首次允许按目的和地点对超过600亿欧元的公共支出进行深入分析,这既能够追踪个别支付情况,也能够进行汇总分析。这些数据代表了2014年至2020年共同农业政策年度支付的分布情况,对于研究人员、政策制定者、非政府组织和记者评估共同农业政策支出的分布和影响具有参考价值。
