the real GDP \(Y\) in US dollars,
the physical capital stocks \(K\) in US dollars,
the physical capital stocks \(KBC30\) via "backcasting" in US dollars,
the number of workers \(LWDI\) providing the total labor force, and
the average years of secondary education \(secondary\) of the population.
It further reports physical measures of infrastructure given by
the electricity generation capacity \(EGC\) in megawatts,
the number of main phone lines \(mlines\),
the kilometers of total roads \(troads\),
the number of cell phones lines \(cells\),
the kilometers of paved roads \(proads\), and
the kilometers of rails \(rails\).
It covers the period 1960 to 2000 \((T=41)\) for \(N=97\) countries. The monetary values are given in US-Dollars at 2000 prices, i.e. constant PPP.
