全球债务数据库与债务情况概览——基于IMF发布《全球债务数据库》

Overview of the Global Debt Database and Debt Situation——The Release of the Global Debt Database based on IMF

本文描述了全球债务数据库(GDD)的编制,该数据库是一个涵盖20世纪50年代至今的全球190个国家的私人和公共债务尖端数据集。GDD率先将私人债务系列扩展为全球样本。它与现有数据集不同,首先,GDD采用多维方法,提供多个不同覆盖范围的债务系列,确保随时间推移的一致性;其次,使私人债务数据集的横截面维度增加一倍以上;最后,通过与样本中各国官员和货币基金组织国家办事处的双边磋商,检查数据的完整性,提高了数据质量。

This article describes the development of the global debt database（GDD）, a data set of private and public debt, which covers 190 countries in the world from 1950 s to the present. GDD pioneered the expansion of private debt into a global sample. It is different from the existing data sets. First, GDD uses a multidimensional approach to provide a series of debt series with different coverage to ensure consistency over time; secondly, more than double the cross sectional dimension of the private debt data set; finally, through the state offices of the officials and IMF in the samples. Bilateral consultations examine the integrity of data and improve the quality of data.
