Includes salaries for fiscal/judicial officials and collection costs (e.g., transport, supplies). Excludes military spending. Using a share allows comparability across treasuries of different sizes. | | tribunalm | Indicator of the Mining Tribunal’s presence for the treasury-year. Equals 1 from 1777 onward for mining jurisdictions served by the mining corporation and 0 otherwise. The Tribunal, established in the late 1770s, organized mining districts via deputations and had administrative, judicial, and credit-related functions for the sector. | | inilogtotal_c | Treasury-specific baseline size proxy: natural log of the treasury’s initial total revenue in nominal pesos (baseline is typically 1714 or the first observed year for newer treasuries). Constant within treasury over time. | Dataset Context: This dataset is a treasury-year panel built from official colonial fiscal accounts compiled by regional Royal Treasuries (cajas reales) in New Spain and audited centrally in Mexico City. Each treasury recorded gross revenue and detailed expenditures annually; local obligations were paid first and any surplus was remitted to the central treasury. The accounting aggregates were standardized into consistent categories to facilitate comparison across space and time. The panel primarily covers the Bourbon era, especially 1758–1786, a period marked by administrative centralization, reorganization of revenue services, and the gradual transition in many places from tax farming to direct collection (notably for sales taxes and customs). Royal initiatives expanded customs house networks, professionalized local tax administration, and clarified the division of responsibilities among regional treasuries and the central fiscal tribunal. Currency values are nominal pesos de ocho; figures are not price-adjusted, consistent with the historical accounts. Two features of the administrative landscape are encoded for time variation. First, the presence of the Mining Tribunal beginning in 1777, which established mining deputations and provided sectoral governance, adjudication of mining disputes, and credit intermediation. Second, a set of “near_” indicators mark years after new neighboring treasuries were created, signaling possible redrawings of fiscal catchment areas as jurisdictions were split or reassigned. The expenditure share devoted to civil administration and collection reflects the intensity of local state apparatus—staffing of fiscal and judicial officers and the operational resources needed to assess and collect revenues. Revenue baselines (logged initial totals) provide a stable proxy for the underlying scale of each treasury’s operations at the start of observation. Together, these variables offer a consistent view of regional fiscal administration during a period of wide-ranging institutional change in late colonial Mexico.
