摘要:The present paper examines new estimates of GDP for the five Nordic countries
1830-1910 in terms of economic growth and purchasing power parities. It concludes
that significant economic growth took place during the period. The long-run growth
was surprisingly even. However, up to the 1870s this growth was strongest in
Norway. From then on Sweden had fastest growth, when Norway experienced relative
decline. PPP calculations of GDPs show that Denmark was best off of Nordic
countries in the entire period. Norway was number two to the end of the nineteenth
century, and then over taken by Sweden in the early 1900s. Finland and Iceland
obtained similar levels 1870-1910
