The analyses of the effects of increasing globalization on trade patterns, environmental degradation and economic development in the WIOD project require the construction of a new database that covers the global interrelatedness of production and its socio-economic and environmental effects.

A. Harmonized national IO tables
B. A consistent data set of bilateral trade flows of goods and services

D. Socio-economic accounts
E. Environmental accounts
In particular, the tables in the WIOD-database will cover:
