Abstract

We here provide spatially-explicit economic time series for Gross Cell Product (GCP) with global coverage
in 10-year increments between 1850 and 2100 with a spatial resolution of 5 arcmin. GCP is based on a
statistcal downscaling procedure that among other predictors uses national Gross Domestic Product (GDP)
time series and gridded population estimates as input. Historical estimates until 2000 are harmonized
with future socio-economic projections from the Shared Socioeconomic Pathways (SSPs) according to
SSP2 from 2010 onwards.


We further provide a mapping file with identical spatial resolution to associate GCP values with specifc
countries. Based on this mapping we provide nationally aggregated GDP estimates between 1850-2100 in
a separate csv-file.


Additionally, we provide a mapping file with identical spatial resolution providing national assets-GDP
ratios, that can be used to transform GCP to asset values based on 2016 estimates from Credit Suisse’s
Global Wealth Databook 2016.


This dataset has already been used to create a global and spatially-explicit dataset for tropical cyclone
exposure (TCE-DAT), for details see Geiger et al (2017; http://doi.org/10.5880/pik.2017.011).
