Just before the outbreak of the American Civil War in 1861 Union states had approximately five times as many factories as the Confederacy, and ten times the amount of factory workers. This level of industrialization is reflective of the economies at the time, with the Confederate and Border states depending more heavily on agriculture for their economic output, whereas the more industrialized cities of the northern states had many more factories. This also ties in with the issue of slavery at the time, which was arguably the most influential factor in the cessation of the southern states. The rural farm owners of the south depended on slave labor to maintain their output, and did not have large concentrations of population to pull workers from, whereas the factory owners of the north had a large supply of workers from more urbanized areas.

Index Methodology Summary Continuous Feed Index (CFI) is a daily aggregation of the area of metallic objects in square meters. There are two types of CFI indices; CFI-R index gives the data in levels. It shows how many square meters are covered by metallic objects (for example employee cars at a facility). CFI-S index gives the change in data. It shows how many square meters have changed within the locations between two consecutive satellite images.

How to interpret the data SpaceKnow indices can be compared with the related economic indicators or KPIs. If the economic indicator is in monthly terms, perform a 30-day rolling sum and pick the last day of the month to compare with the economic indicator. Each data point will reflect approximately the sum of the month. If the economic indicator is in quarterly terms, perform a 90-day rolling sum and pick the last day of the 90-day to compare with the economic indicator. Each data point will reflect approximately the sum of the quarter.

Where the data comes from SpaceKnow brings you the data edge by applying machine learning and AI algorithms to synthetic aperture radar and optical satellite imagery. The company’s infrastructure searches and downloads new imagery every day, and the computations of the data take place within less than 24 hours.

In contrast to traditional economic data, which are released in monthly and quarterly terms, SpaceKnow data is high-frequency and available daily. It is possible to observe the latest movements in the construction industry with just a 4-6 day lag, on average.

The construction materials data help you to estimate the performance of the construction sector and the business activity of the selected companies.

Industrial Energy End Use in the U.S

Facility-Level Combustion Energy Data

By US Open Data Portal, data.gov [source]

About this dataset

This dataset contains in-depth facility-level information on industrial combustion energy use in the United States. It provides an essential resource for understanding consumption patterns across different sectors and industries, as reported by large emitters (>25,000 metric tons CO2e per year) under the U.S. EPA's Greenhouse Gas Reporting Program (GHGRP). Our records have been calculated using EPA default emissions factors and contain data on fuel type, location (latitude, longitude), combustion unit type and energy end use classified by manufacturing NAICS code. Additionally, our dataset reveals valuable insight into the thermal spectrum of low-temperature energy use from a 2010 Energy Information Administration Manufacturing Energy Consumption Survey (MECS). This information is critical to assessing industrial trends of energy consumption in manufacturing sectors and can serve as an informative baseline for efficient or renewable alternative plans of operation at these facilities. With this dataset you're just a few clicks away from analyzing research questions related to consumption levels across industries, waste issues associated with unconstrained fossil fuel burning practices and their environmental impacts

How to use the dataset

This dataset provides detailed information on industrial combustion energy end use in the United States. Knowing how certain industries use fuel can be valuable for those interested in reducing energy consumption and its associated environmental impacts.

• To make the most out of this dataset, users should first become familiar with what's included by looking at the columns and their respective definitions. After becoming familiar with the data, users should start to explore areas of interest such as Fuel Type, Report Year, Primary NAICS Code, Emissions Indicators etc. The more granular and specific details you can focus on will help build a stronger analysis from which to draw conclusions from your data set.

• Next steps could include filtering your data set down by region or end user type (such as direct related processes or indirect support activities). Segmenting your data set further can allow you to identify trends between fuel type used in different regions or compare emissions indicators between different processes within manufacturing industries etc. By taking a closer look through this lens you may be able to find valuable insights that can help inform better decision making when it comes to reducing energy consumption throughout industry in both public and private sectors alike.

• if exploring specific trends within industry is not something that’s of particular interest to you but rather understanding general patterns among large emitters across regions then it may be beneficial for your analysis to group like-data together and take averages over larger samples which better represent total production across an area or multiple states (timeline varies depending on needs). This approach could open up new possibilities for exploring correlations between economic productivity metrics compared against industrial energy use over periods of time which could lead towards more formal investigations about where efforts are being made towards improved resource efficiency standards among certain industries/areas of production compared against other more inefficient sectors/regionsetc — all from what's already present here!

By leveraging the information provided within this dataset users have access to many opportunities for finding all sorts of interesting yet practical insights which can have important impacts far beyond understanding just another singular statistic alone; so happy digging!

Research Ideas

• Analyzing the trends in combustion energy uses by region across different industries.
• Predicting the potential of transitioning to clean and renewable sources of energy considering the current end-uses and their magnitude based on this data.

We introduce a multi-level smooth transition model for a panel of time series, which can be used to examine the presence of common nonlinear business cycle features across many variables. The model is positioned in between a fully pooled model, which imposes such common features, and a fully heterogeneous model, which allows for unrestricted nonlinearity. We introduce a second-stage model linking the parameters that determine the timing of the switches between business cycle regimes to observable explanatory variables, thereby allowing for lead-lag relationships across panel members. We discuss representation, estimation by concentrated simulated maximum likelihood and inference. We illustrate our model using quarterly industrial production in 19 US manufacturing sectors, and document that there are subtle differences across sectors in leads and lags for switches between business cycle recessions and expansions.
