Details

The Penn World Table (version 9.1) is a database with information on relative levels of income, output, input, and productivity, covering 182 countries between 1950 and 2017. For more details see Feenstra, Inklaar, and Timmer (2019, 2015) provided at http://www.ggdc.net/pwt/. Version 9.x represents the first substantial change to the Next Generation of the Penn World Table of PWT versions 8.0 and 8.1 (see Feenstra, Inklar, and Timmer 2015). However, Section I of Feenstra et al. (2015) is still the recommended starting point as the main structure of the database and definition of its variables are unchanged in PWT 9.1. Nevertheless Version 9.1 contains important new and revised data.
