GDP inconsistency from 2013 to today #239

Open Franz53 opened 5 years ago

Franz53 commented 5 years ago

Downloading CSV data for trade balance of each country, I notice GDP inconsistency from 2013 and also for "gdp_pc_constant" after 2015.

It's just like gdp is exploded. For USA gdp 2013 is +17% (!!!) compared to 2012.

I see this inconsistency a lot of countries.

Second: data are duplicated (two identical series 1995-2017) so double of rows.

I've seen this because I was tryng to calculate opening index and the effect is just like all nations were closed to international trade after 2012

I attach germany data (+21.35% of gdp in 2013 !!!) Duplicate rows deleted. Inconsistencies in color

As you can see, here is another example: Switzerland ch-image

Never we had such a GDP explosion in 2013! The green line is wrong! May be you got a different provider or different type of GDP (costant prices, real, PPS/PPS, nominal, ...)
