Our colleagues at the University of Queensland have released a new version of their database on comparative income levels: uqicd.economics.uq.edu.au. Compared to PWT, this database has much information on within-country inequality and uses another approach to income comparisons.

@judyzara @EcHistSoc @LSEEcHist @The_EHES @benmschneider @OxfordESH @kathrynegary @pseudoerasmus @VincentGeloso @ddcoffman @guido_alfani My favourite baseline dataset is the new Penn tables @PennWorldTable - it is not economic history technically, but there is a lot of details about recent history and the economic development story.
