Input data set: Future, gridded Gross Domestic Product (GDP)

Direct human forcings.

Annual GDP data on a 0.5°x0.5° grid for 2006-2099.

Downscaling from country to grid level achieved using the method described below which makes use of the ISIMIP2b gridded population data.

Based on the methodology described here: http://www.cger.nies.go.jp/gcp/population-and-gdp.html and the ISIMIP2b ssp2 gridded population data.

These data have been generated by interpolating the data described here: http://doi.org/10.5880/pik.2017.007 to one-year time steps.
