Provincial Population

The provincial population series for China's subregional model in IFs came from the China Statistical Yearbooks from 1996-2016. These yearbooks are available online on the National Bureau of Statistics of China website. The population data is published in ten thousands, rather than the millions that are used in the full 186 version of IFs. Rather than converting the population data into millions, the population series was imported as it was published in ten thousands and ApplyMultAll is selected in the data dictionary. This normalizes the historical data to the population of China in the full 186 version of IFs.
