Economic Growth in Germany, 1500–1850
利用工资、价格和部门就业数据，通过间接产出估算技术构建了1500–1850年德国实际GDP时间序列，揭示了从马尔萨斯体制向现代经济增长的转变。
New data are used to construct a time series of real GDP in Germany for the period 1500–1850 using an indirect output estimation technique that relies on wages, prices, and sectoral employment. Until the mid-seventeenth century, real GDP per capita moved inversely with population. The eighteenth century saw a modest rise in output per head. From the late 1810s, economic growth gradually accelerated. The results shed new light on the reversal of fortunes in early modern Europe and the transition from a Malthusian regime to modern economic growth.
