Abstract: This paper has two main contributions. The first one is to present a new data set with 360 consistent local geographic units (CLGU henceforth) defined by matching the departments of each population census in Argentina between 1895 and 2022; this structure generates a traceable and transparent connection between the ways in which the information is presented in each census and, hence, it can be a crucial tool to combine information on socioeconomic dimensions across time. The second contribution is the estimation of local indicators of economic activity (LIEA henceforth) for Argentina for 1895 and 1960 and, using the 360 CLGUs, a completely novel exploration of spatialchanges of economic activity and local economic growth in Argentina in the first half of the twentieth century.
