This dataset contains estimates of global poverty on the long run at three different international poverty lines, at 5, 10, and 30 dollars per day (using 2011 PPP dollars), covering the period from 1820 until 2019. Detailed information about the assumptions, methods and data used can be found in chapter 6 and in the appendix of my PhD thesis: Moatsos, M. (2020). Global Absolute Poverty, Present and Past since 1820. Utrecht University. https://doi.org/10.33540/129 and on the OECD publication Moatsos, M. (2021).
