Are there any credible websites out there with data on worldwide GDP for the years 2000 to 2010? I am looking for quarterly data to perform some analysis.
Thanks!
Note that I'm not looking for GDP growth, but the actual GDP.

Penn World Tables probably doesn't have complete data for 2010 but it has most of what you want:

(Note that developing countries aren't able to provide data in as timely a manner as the developed countries. Even the developed world is still updating their 2010 GDP numbers.)

The OECD doesn't keep data for every country, but it does have more current data:
http://stats.oecd.org/Index.aspx?QueryId=23238
Then there is the U.N. database:
http://data.un.org/Browse.aspx?d=SNA
The World Bank database:
http://data.worldbank.org/
The IMF database:
http://elibrary-data.imf.org/DataReport.aspx?c=1449326&d=33061&e=169393
etc.
You also haven't mentioned whether you want summary data (a data series for the world as a whole) or more detailed data for the entire world (by country, by region, etc.)
