PALGRAVE STUDIES IN ECONOMIC HISTORY SPANISH ...

This book is open access under a CC BY 4.0 license. This text offers a comprehensive and
nuanced view of the economic development of Spain since 1850. It provides a new set of
historical GDP estimates for Spain from the demand and supply sides  and presents a
reconstruction of production and expenditure series for the century prior to the introduction
of modern national accounts. The author splices available national accounts sets over the
period 1958-2015 through interpolation  as an alternative to conventional retropolation. The
resulting national accounts series are linked to the historical estimates providing yearly
series for GDP and its components since 1850. On the basis of new population estimates  the
author derives GDP per head  decomposed into labour productivity and the amount of work per
person  and placed into international perspective. With theoretical reasoning and
historiographical implications  Prados de la Escosura provides a useful methodological
reference work for anyone interested in national accounting. Open Access has been made possible
thanks to Fundación Rafael del Pino's generous support. You can find the full dataset here:
