The SPIN covid19 MRIO dataset: Global trade network data for the years 2016-2026 reflecting macroeconomic effects of the covid19 pandemic

The SPIN covid19 MRIO dataset is a timeseries of MRIO tables covering years from 2016-2026 on a yearly basis. The dataset covers 26 sectors in 155 countries. Tables are generated using the SPIN method, based on the EORA26 MRIO table for year 2015, GDP, imports and exports data from the International Financial Statistics (IFS) and the World Economic Outlooks (WEO) of October 2019 and April 2021. From 2020 to 2026, the dataset includes two diverging scenarios. The <em>baseline</em> scenario is in line with April 2021 WEO's data and includes the macroeconomic effects of Covid 19. The<em> counterfactual</em> scenario is in line with October 2019 WEO's data and simulates the global economy without Covid 19. Tables from 2016 to 2019 are labelled as <em>hist</em>. The <em>Projections</em> folder includes the generated tables for years from 2016 to 2026 and the corresponding labels.<br> The <em>Sources </em>folder contains the data records from the IFS and WEO databases. The <em>Method data</em> contains the data files used to generate the tables with the SPIN method and the following Python scripts: <em>SPIN_covid19_MRIO_files_preparation.py</em> generates the data files from the source data. <em>SPIN_covid19_MRIO runs.py</em> is the command to run the SPIN method and generate the dataset. <em>figures.py</em> is a script to produce figures reflecting the consistency of the projected tables and the evolution of macroeconomic figures in the 2016-2026 period for a selection of countries. All tables are labelled in 2015 US$ and valued in basic prices.
