gen_diamprim_y: diamprim_y

In prio-data/priogrid: PRIOGrid Replication Code

Description

Generate dummy variable for whether primary (kimberlite or lamproite) diamond deposits have been found within the given grid cell for any given year, based on the Diamond Resources dataset v1a. This variable only codes deposits that have a known year of discovery or start of production. For a complete picture, these data must therefore be combined with the diamprim_s data. Available only until 2005.
