gen_goldsurface_y: goldsurface_y

In prio-data/priogrid: PRIOGrid Replication Code

Description

Generate dummy variable for whether surface gold deposits, defined as deposits that are located near the surfaec but "do not hold enough information to be properly defined as lootable" have been found within the given grid cell, based on the dGOLD_S subset of the GOLDATA dataset v1.2. This variable only codes the deposits that have a known year of discovery or start of production. For a complete picture, these data must therefore be combined with the goldsurface_s data. Available only until 2012.
