Details

Since 2009 the Brazilian Federal Institute for Geography and Statistics realizes regular research about economic activity on a monthly base. Data is available for different economic activities and per state. Every ten years the institute realizes a demographic census. Data can be accessed via online services: http://www.sidra.ibge.gov.br/, is presented in time series: http://seriesestatisticas.ibge.gov.br/lista_tema.aspx?op=0&no=8 or can be downloaded: http://downloads.ibge.gov.br/downloads_estatisticas.htm

Statistics are also provided by the federal Institute of Applied Economic Research (IPEA), many of which are reproduced from another source. Some series are regularly updated, others are not. Licensing information is similar to CC-BY, allowing copying and reuse but requiring attibution. So it should be considered open. Data is not linkable to, as the machine-readable versions (csv or Excel) require clicking an "export" button on the interface, and there is no direct access URL for the files.
