New Swedish Historical National Accounts since the 16th Century in Constant and Current Prices

Schön, Lennart LU and Krantz, Olle (2015) In Lund Papers in Economic History. General Issues
Abstract
This Working Paper presents and discusses Swedish Historical National Accounts back to 1560 in both current and constant prices. With current prices, this paper provides a major extension of our prior WP 123. It also presents some revisions and additions to earlier data. The main result from the earlier paper of a long secular cycle with troughs around 1600 and 1800 and a peak around 1700 still holds, but there are new aspects on long term development and structural changes from the analysis of both current and constant prices. Thus, the position of agriculture in the late 17th century looks even bleaker in current than in constant prices. The link to the data set is http://www.ekh.lu.se/en/research/economic-history- data/shna1560-2010.
