An Extended Cross-Country Database for Agricultural Investment and Capital

This paper presents a database of investment and capital in agriculture, an essential input for cross-country macro analysis of the primary sector of the economy.

Further we introduce some refinements to the methodology used to construct the series of fixed capital stock by changing how the agricultural GDP and investment is forecasted. Finally we document in details our data sources and the STATA program used to implement all the methods
