  • GDP and other macro data at regional level (NUTS2): The Rosés-Wolf database on regional GDP provides data on the economic development of European regions at the level of NUTS-2 regions for the years 1900 - 2015. It contains information on nominal GDP (in 1990 and 2011 PPP), population, area, and sector-level employment shares.

  • A list of classic data sources for "political economy students", i.e. sources for (mainly) financial data, by Benjamin Braun 

  • Interwar data for industrial production, quarterly bilateral trade data, and other high frequency data at the CEPR data depository

  • Modern trade data on the country-product level: The International Trade Centre's TradeMap (based on UN Comtrade data) is my preferred source. Other common databanks: WITS and CEPII with plenty of standard gravity variables. Another source is the well kept database from the Atlas of Economic Complexity.

  • Augmented Human Development Index: The database includes estimates of the AHDI and its main dimensions for up to 162 countries between 1870 and 2020. 

  • Historical migration data for many countries from the 19th century to the mid 1920s: Wilcox (1929) is a good source.

  • German economic history data: GESIS is a very deep database. Sign up freely to use it.

  • Bilateral trade data from the early 19th century to 1938 has been compiled by Beatrice Dedinger and collaborators, called the RICardo project.

  • Countries, or more precisely, polities change their borders over time. The GeoPolHist database helps finding out “what is a country?” and “how many countries are there in the world?”

  • Concordance tables between different classifications of international trade by COMTRADE.
