Abstract

The purpose of these DINA Guidelines is to present the concepts, data sources and methods used in the World Wealth and Income Database (WID.world, http://WID.world). These Guidelines are subject to revision and will be regularly updated on-line. Before we describe the organization of these Guidelines, it is useful to start with a brief history of WID.world.
