1935, as GGDC’s 2023 release gives it · stored as published, never rewritten

Historical GDP per capita follows each country's output per person back to 1820, in 2011 international dollars, from the Maddison Project Database. 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), 1935 covers 64 countries. United States is highest, at 9,681; Malawi is lowest, at 650. The middle country reads 2,667. Against 1934, 62 values changed (51 up, 11 down), the same countries are covered.

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 1935.

  • Nothing missing

    Every one of the 64 countries has every column.
