Global Extreme Poverty Dollar a Day
No full textThe extreme poverty rate represents the share of the people in a country below a poverty line. Here two such lines are used: a cost of basic needs approach following Allen (2017), and the short cut approach of the 1.9 dollar-a-day. The estimates cover the period 1820-2018 (yearly)

Long Run Global Poverty using the Dollar-a-Day method
No full textThis dataset contains estimates of global poverty on the long run at three different international poverty lines, at 5, 10, and 30 dollars per day (using 2011 PPP dollars), covering the period from 1820 until 2019. Detailed information about the assumptions, methods and data used can be found in chapter 6 and in the appendix of my PhD thesis: Moatsos, M. (2020). Global Absolute Poverty, Present and Past since 1820. Utrecht University. https://doi.org/10.33540/129 and on the OECD publication Moatsos, M. (2021). Global Absolute Poverty: Present and Past since 1820. In How Was Life? Volume II: New Perspectives on Well-being and Global Inequality since 1820 (1 ed., Vol. 2). OECD Publishing. https://www.oecd-ilibrary.org/sites/e20f2f1a-en/index.html?itemId=/content/component/e20f2f1a-en. This dataset expands the estimates of those publications in higher dollarized international poverty lines, namely at 5, 10, and 30 dollars per day (using 2011 PPP dollars)
Global Extreme Poverty Cost of Basic Needs
No full textThe extreme poverty rate represents the share of the people in a country below a poverty line. Here two such lines are used: a cost of basic needs approach following Allen )2017), and the short cut approach of the 1.9 dollar-a-day. The estimates cover the period 1820-2018 (yearly)

Global Hunger
No full textThe hunger rate represents the share of the people in a country below a fraction of a cost of basic needs poverty line. The fraction used by FAO is 52%, and I use that value for 2018. For years before and up to 1820 I linearly interpolate using a 80% value for 1820. The dynamic caloric requirement that is used to estimate the food component follows the FAO guidelines, and it is estimated based on height data from Clio Infra, and age-gender population distributions from UN and Mitchell. The protein content is 0.83 gr per kg of body weight. The estimates cover the period 1820-2018 (yearly). It is expressed as a share, from 0 to 1
Wealth Decadal Ginis
No full textThe wealth Gini index value varies between 0 (perfect equality, i.e. all households or individuals have the same wealth) and 1 (perfect inequality, i.e. one household or individual owns all the wealth, the others have none). The wealth share of the top 10% is the share of wealth owned by the richest 10% of the wealth distribution
The Allen Unger Commodities Dataset
No full textThe Database presents price data, published in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, in machine-readable form. The original goal was to examine changes in prices and their relation to international trade in early modern Europe. Price series were then expanded from just staple grains and beyond a limited number of years to the entire period ranging from the earliest known series from the High Middle Ages and down to 1914. The geographical range as well as that of commodities continues to expand with continued research and coding of published data. With the larger collection of figures studies of market integration as well as welfare of consumers and other topics has become possible. Continuing support from the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada, the National Science Foundation of Britain, the British Academy and NYU Abu Dhabi has made possible the addition of new data and refinement of existing files
Composite measure of wellbeing
No full textThis is a composite measure of wellbeing constructed from 9 variables from the Clio-Infra projected presented in the How was life report. Newer version forthcoming
