It joins economic historians' reconstructions of old national accounts onto modern statistics, so that incomes two centuries apart can be set on one scale.

Historical GDP per Capita (Maddison), 1911 covers 54 countries. United States is highest, at 9,735.9; Malawi is lowest, at 432.7. The middle country reads 1,933.5. Against 1910, 48 values changed (33 up, 15 down), 4 countries joined, 4 left.

Read before you use

Using the series

  • One year of the 2023 release

    Every year in this series comes from GGDC’s 2023 release, recalculated on one method, so a change from one year to the next is not a revision. It can differ from what was first published for 1911.

  • Nothing missing

    Every one of the 54 countries has every column.
