GDP per capita levels for regions and countries in Europe and North America, 1300-2000

We publish our out-of-sample estimates on historical GDP per capita levels between the years 1300 and 2000 together with the collected source data on countries and regions in a comprehensive dataset comprising 5,690 observations (1,313 source data observations, and 4,377 out-of-sample estimates). All references to the source data are provided in the manuscript.Locations refer to NUTS-2 regions in Europe (2021 edition), metro- and micropolitan statistical areas for the United States, metropolitan areas for Canada, and regions of similar size for other countries, e.g. oblasts in Russia. For countries, we use ISO 3166-1 alpha-3 country codes.The column <i>GDPpc</i> is denoted in 2011 USD PPP, matching the unit provided in the Maddison project. The column <i>flag</i> describes whether the value in column <i>GDPpc</i> is taken from source data (see manuscript for references) or an out-of-sample estimate. If it is an out-of-sample estimate, the columns <i>GDPpc_lower</i> and <i>GDPpc_upper</i> provide 90 percent confidence intervals obtained by bootstrapping.The code to generate all estimates will be published soon to ensure reproducibility of results.
