World Bank Atlas GNI per capita and OGHIST Income Classification History

Replication Data for 'Graduation without Convergence: Income Traps after Crossing the High-Income Threshold' provides input datasets and a reproduction script. The series are built from World Bank Atlas GNI per capita and the OGHIST income classification history. Yasin Baris Altayligil authored the dataset, which was last updated on July 8, 2026.

Use Cases

• Replicate econometric tables and figures based on the provided R script.
• Perform sequential unit root tests (ADF, Zivot-Andrews, Lee-Strazicich) based on the described methodology.
• Conduct event-time analysis of income transitions based on the OGHIST classification.
• Generate interval forecasts for income trajectories based on the World Bank GNI data.

Strengths

• Includes a single base R script that reproduces every table and figure in the paper and its supplementary material.
• Data series are built from authoritative sources: World Bank Atlas GNI per capita and the OGHIST income classification history.
• The script runs multiple econometric procedures, including sequential unit root tests with simulated critical values.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
