Motivation: Our national source, the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics (IBGE), reports compensation for subnational areas, but at an annual frequency and with limited history (from 2010).

Response: For international consistency, we have estimated compensation at a quarterly frequency with extended history (by 10 years).
