Clio Infra is a research project to document and analyse the various dimensions of global inequality between 1500 and the present. Scholars from the International Institute of Social History (IISH) and the universities of Utrecht, Groningen and Tuebingen supported by National Science Foundation (NWO) and Royal Academy of Sciences (KNAW) are organizing collaboratories aimed at collecting and standardizing economic-historical datasets to that purpose.
An example of the Maddison project, which aims at continuing the international comparative work on historical national accounting organized by Angus Maddison in the past, resulting in his well-known global dataset. Similar networks of scholars working on measures of economic performance (real wages, heights, life expectancy) and their determinants (human capital, institutions, gender inequality) are producing high quality global datasets on these topics, covering the world in the past 500 years.
Recently also indices of sustainability have been integrated into the Clio Infra framework.
