Dataset for the model of municipality competitiveness in relation to the geothermal resources exploitation in Poland.
Description
This dataset presents the raw data to generate a local competitiveness index in reference with the article: “The impact of geothermal resources on the competitiveness of municipalities: evidence from Poland” (https://doi.org/10.1016/j.renene.2019.11.126). The competitiveness indexes for a selection of 63 municipalities are developed by the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP). Thereafter, the aggregated indexes values are used for statistical procedures in the related research article that describes the relation between geothermal resources utilisation and the obtained local competitiveness index.
