Compilation of Selected Cross-Country Time Series Data

 

 

Note: These data are reproduced here for convenience, with labels in Stata format, links to their original sources for citation and updating, and all country codes updated to ISO 3166.  Presenting the data in this format facilitates merging the data by ccode and year, as needed.  As always, care must be exercised to be sure that country codes are consistent -- for example, in other datasets Romania is variously ROU or ROM.  Thanks for assembling the files goes to Andres Garcia. 

 

There are many other compilations of international data, with various codings and labeling formats.  A few commonly-used sources include the Development Gateway, Harvard’s Center for International Development, Columbia’s World Data Center, The World Bank’s data page, and Gunilla Pettersson’s development data site.
