Beschreibung:
In this study, an update of the SSP GDP projections is presented. The update captures the impact of the Covid 19 pandemic by using the most recent economic data and short-term projections by the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund. Harmonization between the data and the original end-of-the-century SSP projections was carried out in terms of GDP per capita in order to preserve the underlying narrative of income convergence. The result is a set of projections compatible with the most recent data and the SSP narratives
