This dataset includes annual data on oil and other liquids production and consumption disaggregated by type of products and subproducts for different countries. Production and consumption are expressed in millions of barrels per day. Petroleum supply includes the production of crude oil (including lease condensate), natural gas plant liquids, and other liquids, and it also includes refinery processing gain for volume (TBPD) only. Other Liquids include biodiesel, ethanol, liquids produced from coal, gas, and oil shale, Orimulsion, blending components, and other hydrocarbons.

This dataset includes yearly information of the Social Unrest Index for multiple countries published in "Measuring Social Unrest Using Media Reports" by Philip Barret, Maximiliano Appendino, Kate Nguyen, and Jorge de Leon Miranda. The Social Unrest Index measures the risk of social conflicts in countries and is used to assess the level of vulnerability of a society to instability. It takes into account a range of factors, including economic inequality, poverty, social exclusion, and lack of effective governance. To access additional information and details regarding the methodology about the index, [read here](https://www.imf.org/en/Publications/WP/Issues/2020/07/17/Measuring-Social-Unrest-Using-Media-Reports-49573).

The United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) is a body of the United Nations that focuses on issues related to trade, investment, and development. UNCTAD's main goals are to maximize the trade, investment and development opportunities of developing countries, assist them in their efforts to integrate into the global economy, and promote and achieve sustainable economic development.

This dataset includes yearly information of Measure of Aggregate Trade Restrictions (MATR), using data from the IMF’s Annual Report on Exchange Arrangements and Exchange Restrictions.. MATR is an empirical measure of how restrictive official government policy is towards the international flow of goods and services. MATR is based on the IMF’s AREAER binary variables related to (i) exchange measures; (ii) arrangements for payments and receipts; (iii) imports and imports payments; (iv) exports and exports proceeds, and (v) payment and proceeds from invisible transfers and current transfers. This simplest version of MATR is the unweighted sum of up to 22 possible variables. Each subindicator is scored as 1 if a restriction is present in a particular country for a particular year, and 0 otherwise.

MATR is an empirical measure of how restrictive official government policy is towards the international flow of goods and services. MATR is simple, ad hoc, plausible, quantitative, easily updated, based solely on policy-relevant measures of trade policy, and covers an unbalanced sample of about 157 countries annually between 1949 and 2020. MATR is also strongly correlated with existing measures of openness and trade policy but more comprehensive than existing measures. We use MATR to show that trade restrictions are harmful for the economy and lead to significant contractions in output.

This dataset includes yearly main data of energy from different countries. Data are measured in quadrillion Btu. Total energy production and consumption includes the production of petroleum (crude oil and natural gas plant liquids), dry natural gas, and coal. It also includes net generation of nuclear, hydroelectric, and non-hydroelectric renewable electricity. Total energy consumption includes the consumption of petroleum, dry natural gas, coal, net nuclear, hydroelectric, and non-hydroelectric renewable electricity. Total energy consumption for each country also includes net electricity imports (electricity imports – electricity exports) and net coke imports (coke imports – coke exports).
