Nowosad/popgrids: Global Dataset of Gridded Population and GDP

This dataset consists 0.5 × 0.5 degree grids of: (1) Global population and GDP estimations for years 1980-2010 created by downscaling actual populations and GDPs by country, and (2) Global population and GDP projections for years 2020-2100 created by downscaling projected populations and GDPs under three shared socioeconomic pathways (SSP): SSP1; SSP2; and SSP3. The dataset is modified Global dataset of gridded population and GDP scenarios, version 3 (<http://www.cger.nies.go.jp/gcp/population-and-gdp.html>). While the original dataset is a shapefile of 0.5 × 0.5 degree grids masked by countries, the new one contains a regular grid in form of raster objects.
