ABSTRACT

This paper provides regional GDP estimates for the 24 Swedish regions (NUTS-3) for the benchmark year 1571 and for 11 ten-year benchmarks for the period 1750–1850. The 1571 estimates are based on tax sources and agricultural statistics. The 1750–1850 estimates are produced following the widely used methodology by Geary and Stark (2002): labour force figures from population censuses at regional level are used to allocate to regions the national estimates of agriculture, industry and services while wages are used to correct for productivity differentials. By connecting our series to the existing ones by Enflo, Henning, and Schön (2014) for the period 1860–2010, we are able to produce the longest set of regional GDP series to date for any single country.

摘要

本文提供了1571年基准年和24个瑞典区域（NUTS-3）的区域GDP估计值，分别为1571年和1750年至1850年的11个十年基准。1571年的估算基于税收来源和农业统计数据。1750年至1850年的估计值是根据Geary和Stark（2002年）广泛使用的方法得出的：来自区域一级人口普查的劳动力数据用于将农业，工业和服务业的国家估计值分配给区域，而工资用于校正生产率差异。通过将我们的序列与Enflo，Henning和Schön（2014）在1860–2010年间的现有序列联系起来，我们可以得出迄今为止任何一个国家最长的区域GDP序列。
