Penn World Table (PWT)
(Access: Penn World Table Web site)
The Penn World Table displays a set of national accounts economic time series covering many countries. Its expenditure entries are denominated in a common set of prices in a common currency so that real quantity comparisons can be made, both between countries and over time. It also provides information about relative prices within and between countries, as well as demographic data and capital stock estimates.
PWT 6 has been prepared by Alan Heston, Robert Summers, and Bettina Aten at the Center for International Comparisons of Production, Income and Prices at the University of Pennsylvania (CICUP), with the assistance of Mark McMullen, Feng Zhu, Sham Shah and Prajesh Parekh. Robert Feenstra, University of California, Davis, has been consulting with CICUP in preparing PWT 6 and will jointly produce subsequent versions through the Center for International Data at UC Davis, and in association with the NBER.
