The Economic Transformation Database of Transition Economies [ETD-TE] provides a balanced panel of internationally comparable sectoral data on output and employment in fourteen former-Soviet Republics. The ETD-TE is designed to easily combine with the GGDC/UN-WIDER Economic Transformation Database [ETD]. It enables a comparative analysis of growth and structural transformation between the former-Soviet Union countries, and other advanced and developing countries. More information about this data set can be found on the associated page on the website of the Groningen Growth and Development Centre.
