If you are using this data, please use the above reference and give me a copy of your work.
Here, I provide quarterly data for 19 countries. The default sample is 1960.I to 1991.II. It is obvious from the data files if the sample is different. All data has been filtered with the so called Hodrick-Prescott filter, lambda set to 1600. Unfiltered data will be added to the database later.
Data series are in the database format (.db) of MicroTSP and
EViews. This
is ASCII format that is easily importable into other software. If you
have the above softwares, use the fetch command to retrieve
the series.

For each country, the following data will be available, raw or cyclical components:
