This repository complements the paper, **Müller, Xu, Lehbib, and Chen (2025)**, which introduces a panel dataset of **79 macroeconomic variables across 243 countries** from historical records beginning in the year **1086** until **2025**, including projections through the year **2030**.
This repository complements the paper, **Müller, Xu, Lehbib, and Chen (2025)**, which introduces a panel dataset of **46 core macroeconomic variables (provided as 77 harmonized series) across 239 countries and territories** from historical records beginning in the year **1086** until **2025**, including projections through the year **2031**.

## Features

- **Unparalleled Coverage**: Combines data from more than **121 contemporary and historical sources** (e.g., IMF, World Bank, OECD).
- **Unparalleled Coverage**: Combines data from **35 contemporary sources** (e.g., IMF, World Bank, OECD) and **132 historical datasets**, totaling **167 sources**.
- **Extensive Variables**: GDP, inflation, government finance, trade, employment, interest rates, and more.
- **Harmonized Data**: Resolves inconsistencies and splices all available data together.
- **Scheduled Updates**: Regular releases ensure data reliability.
- **No Dependencies**: Pure MATLAB, including a built-in reader for the Stata `.dta` files the project publishes.
- **Accessible Formats**: Provided in `.dta`, `.csv` and as **<a href="https://github.com/KMueller-Lab/Global-Macro-Database-Stata" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Stata</a>/<a href="https://github.com/KMueller-Lab/Global-Macro-Database-Python" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Python</a>/<a href="https://github.com/KMueller-Lab/Global-Macro-Database-R" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">R</a>/<a href="https://github.com/KMueller-Lab/Global-Macro-Database-Matlab" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">MATLAB</a> package**.
