Historical National Accounts Datahub

We proudly introduce the Historical National Accounts datahub of the Groningen Growth and Development Centre: ( http://www.ggdc.net/ ). During the last years more and more detailed historical national accounts have become available. It is for this reason that the GGDC in collaboration with the Department of Economic History of the London School of Economics has initiated a new research project dealing with the construction of comparative historical national accounts. The set up of this database was supported by a grant from the Netherlands Organisation for Scientific Ressearch (NWO).

We also have benefited from the ESF Globaleuronet Research Networking Programme led by Stefano Battilossi (Carlos III, Madrid).
