The most complete data set on the World-Economy is the one developed by Angus Maddison and published by the OECD (here). I have entered the data into seven spreadsheets for Population, GDP, Urbanization, Real Exports, Exports, Total Hours worked and Employment. The tables are reproduced below.
To make continuous series available, I have nonlinearly interpolated missing data using the Spline Smoothing algorithm in the R programming language. Where initial data is missing, I have used the E-M Algorithm to estimate missing values. In some cases for some countries and regions, no data is available.
