GDP data
Closed this issue · 4 comments
Seems to be missing for Taiwan (https://github.com/TheEconomist/covid-19-the-economist-global-excess-deaths-model/blob/main/source-data/world_bank_nominal_gdp.csv), perhaps other countries as well.
How does the model treat it?
Yes: https://data.worldbank.org/indicator/NY.GDP.MKTP.PP.KD?locations=TW
Treated like any other missing data. I can check which other countries it is missing for.

All make sense to me to be NA on brief inspection. Is there another source with more complete data perhaps? (For why Taiwan is missing: https://datahelpdesk.worldbank.org/knowledgebase/articles/114933-where-are-your-data-on-taiwan)
IMF has data for Taiwan and perhaps others here: https://www.imf.org/en/Publications/WEO/weo-database/2021/April/download-entire-database (relevant indicator is NGDPRPPPPC).
For Cuba I used data from CIA world factbook:

Now added
