Fire locations

ATSR World Fire Atlas, compiled by European Space Agency, can be obtained at http://due.esrin.esa.int/wfa/. Used by Jayachandran (2009) "Air Quality and Early-Life Mortality: Evidence from Indonesia's Wildfires" to measure forest fire locations in Indonesia.

An alternative data source is the Fire Information for Resource Management System (FIRMS), compiled by University of Maryland and the NASA.

Wasn't sure how to get in touch, but here are some other links (I believe you've already included a lot of them, but perhaps not all of them?): http://economics.mit.edu/grad/larreguy/data/development
