The main focus of this project is to provide an updated, revised and expanded Penn World Table (PWT) data set of economic aggregates that is consistent across time and space for over 150 countries for the whole post World War II period, known as Penn World Table. This continuing effort is built upon the framework of the detailed benchmark purchasing power parity studies organized on a regional basis through the United Nations. To prepare this large Table , it is necessary to combine the regional benchmarks for the latest benchmark year, 1993, into a world comparison for the 100 odd countries that are expected to participate. The results of previous world comparisons will then be integrated with the 1993 benchmark to provide the base for estimating values for non-benchmark countries, and the base for moving estimates of all countries backward and forward in time. This project also includes the addition of some variables in PWT proper, as well as the inclusion of subsidiary price and expenditure from the benchmark comparisons that researchers will be more readily accessible by. Software will be provided with the benchmark data that will help researchers make comparisons between any pair of benchmark countries that may be of interest. It is also planned to develop a spatial measure of consumption and add it to the PWT data set. This spatial consumption measure will also be designed on an experimental basis to provide interarea comparisons within a few large and geographically diverse countries. The wide use of these data,, the extensive country participation in the benchmark studies, and the continued focus on international income comparisons in conferences and journals demonstrate the importance of the PWT to the research community.

该项目的主要重点是提供更新、修订和扩展的佩恩世界表 (PWT) 经济总量数据集，该数据集在整个二战后时期在时间和空间上保持一致，涵盖 150 多个国家，称为佩恩世界表。 这一持续努力建立在联合国在区域基础上组织的详细基准购买力平价研究的框架之上。 为了准备这张大表，有必要将最新基准年 1993 年的区域基准与预计参与的 100 多个国家进行世界比较。 以前的世界比较结果将与1993年的基准相结合，为非基准国家的价值估算提供基础，并为所有国家的估算值及时前后移动提供基础。 该项目还包括在 PWT 本身中添加一些变量，以及纳入研究人员更容易获得的基准比较中的附属价格和支出。 软件将提供基准数据，帮助研究人员在任何可能感兴趣的基准国家之间进行比较。 还计划开发消费的空间测量并将其添加到 PWT 数据集中。 该空间消耗衡量标准也将在实验基础上设计，以提供几个大国和地理不同国家内的区域间比较。 这些数据的广泛使用、各国广泛参与基准研究，以及会议和期刊对国际收入比较的持续关注，都表明了 PWT 对研究界的重要性。
