			"For over four decades, the Penn World Table (PWT) has been a standard source of data on real GDP across countries. Making use of prices collected across countries in benchmark years by the International Comparisons Program (ICP), and using these prices to construct purchasing-power-parity (PPP) exchange rates, PWT converts gross domestic product (GDP) at national prices to a common currency— US dollars—making them comparable across countries."[[#_ftn1\|[1]]] The Penn World Table version 9.0 is a database with information on relative levels of income, output, input and productivity, covering 182 countries between 1950 and 2014.[[#_ftn2\|[2]]] The Penn World Table is currently hosted at the Groningen Growth and Development Centre within the Economics Department of the University of Groningen.[[#_ftn3\|[3]]]
