The Penn World Tables (PWT) are described in:

Heston & Robert Summers
The Penn World Table (Mark 5): An Expanded Set of International
Comparisons, 1950-1988
Quarterly Journal of Economics, May 1991, pp.327--368.
The table
itself, an annex to the article, was distributed to users on
a diskette and through anonymous ftp by the National Bureau
of Economic Research in Cambridge, Massachusetts. A revised
and updated version of PWT 5, PWT 5.5, was made available in
1993. Version 5.6 was released January 1995. It was prepared
by Alan Heston and Robert Summers of the University of Pennsylvania,
Daniel A. Nuxoll of the Virginia Polytechnic Institute, and
Bettina Aten of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign,
with the research assistance of Valerie Mercer, James Walsh,
and Bao Truong.
The
Penn World Tables currently comprise data for 152 countries
and 29 subjects.
