LEGO secondary market price data

The dataset covers secondary market prices of 2,322 LEGO sets in 2015, which represent the averages of 30 most recent completed transactions on eBay, provided by brickpicker.com. There are two prices of each set depending on its condition: ‘new’ and ‘used’. We also report each set’s id, name, theme, year of release, the original primary market price, size and the number of minifigures. These data were collected from Maciorowski and Maciorowski (2015), where the original source of data is brickpicker.com, which, in turn, takes the data from eBay. Additionally, we provide monthly secondary market price data for a sub-sample of 223 sets from 8 most popular for collectors themes for the more recent period from December 2015 until April 2019. We also provide monthly price data for 2,322 sets for a shorter period, January 2018 – April 2019. These data were parsed from brickpicker.com directly and are not available there now. The data can be used for a time-series and cross-sectional analysis of LEGO returns on the secondary market. Finally, we provide LEGO chain and hedonic yearly return indices for 1987-2015, estimated in Dobrynskaya and Kishilova (2022).THIS DATASET IS ARCHIVED AT DANS/EASY, BUT NOT ACCESSIBLE HERE.

Why Should Saudi Arabia Diversify Its Economy?

International audienceClimate change is a global issue. According to an IPCC special report (IPCC, Global warming of 1.5 °C. An IPCC special report on the impacts of global warming of 1.5 °C above pre-industrial levels and related global greenhouse gas emission pathways, in the context of strengthening the global response to the threat of climate change, sustainable development, and efforts to eradicate poverty. World Meteorological Organization, Geneva, Switzerland, 32 p, 2018), if global warming is 1.5 °C above pre-industrial levels, this will increase the threat of climate change, challenge sustainable development and increase poverty in the world. All countries must reduce their greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. The attention paid to countries that produce fossil fuels and export them to the rest of the world is evident in this context. Like other oil-producing countries, KSA faces two challenges for the 2020s: the consequences of the world’s low carbon energy transition and the changes associated with economic diversification and the growth of the low carbon economy at home. The country should diversify its economy and develop sustainable projects, like smart cities and sustainable tourism, in order to achieve the Agenda 30 aims and the UN Sustainable Development Goals
