IndianVillages is an R package containing data on social networks in rural Indian villages. It provides the following tables:

• households: household attributes.
• household_relationships: inter-household relationships.

I derive these tables from survey data collected by Banerjee et al. (2013) as part of their study of microfinance diffusion.

IndianVillages can be installed as follows:

1. Clone or fork the repo.
2. Download datav4.0 from the Harvard Dataverse, save it in data-raw/, and unzip it.
3. Run make in a Terminal window at the repo's top-level directory.

See my blog post for examples.
