GDP/GNP/NNP Data for Germany 1851-2020

This is a compact excerpt of GDP data for Germany from the publication: Thomas Rahlf, Volkswirtschaftliche Gesamtrechnung, in: Thomas Rahlf (Ed.), Deutschland in Daten. Zeitreihen zur Historischen Statistik, 2nd ed., Bonn: Bundeszentrale für politische Bildung 2022, pp. 192-205. <br> According to current research, it is not possible to calculate a reliable gross national product, or gross domestic product for Germany for the 19th century. Instead of Hoffmann’s calculations, the net national product calculated by Pfister (2020) should be used.<br> For the first half of the 20th century, the calculations of Ritschl / Spoerer (1997) should still be chosen.<br> For the period from 1950 to 1970, the data in Spoerer / Ritschl (1997) are identical with the more comprehensive publication Federal Statistical Office (2021), which contains unrevised results before the introduction of the European System of Accounts in 1995.<br> For 1970 to 1990, the data published by Ritschl / Spoerer (1997) can be used if comparability of this period with the period before is more important than with the period after.<br> If a comparison with the period after is more important, for 1970 to 1990 the data from Federal Statistical Office (2021), should be used. These are recalculated after the 1991 and 2002 revisions, but not after the 2011, 2014, or 2018 revisions.<br> The data from 1991 onward fit the previous ones only to a limited extent because they have been recalculated based on the 2011, 2014, and 2018 revisions. <br> -------- <br> Pfister, Ulrich, The Crafts–Harley view of German industrialization: an independent estimate of the income side of net national product, 1851–1913, in: European Review of Economic History 24/3 (2020), S. 502‐521. <br> Ritschl, Albrecht/Spoerer, Mark, Das Bruttosozialprodukt Deutschlands nach den amtlichen Volkseinkommens‐ und Sozialproduktstatistiken 1901‐1995, in: Jahrbuch für Wirtschaftsgeschichte 1997, S. 27‐54. <br> Statistisches Bundesamt (Hrsg.): Bevölkerung und Wirtschaft 1872–1972, Stuttgart/Mainz 1972 <br> Statistisches Bundesamt (Hrsg.) 2010, Volkswirtschaftliche Gesamtrechnungen.
