We provide decadal estimates of GDP per capita for the Russian Empire from the 1690s to the 1880s, making it possible for the first time to compare the economic performance of one of the world’s largest economies with other countries. Significant Russian economic growth before the 1760s resulted in catching-up on northwest Europe, but this was followed by a period of negative growth between the 1760s and 1800s and stagnation from the 1800s to the 1880s, leaving late-nineteenth century Russia further behind the West than at the beginning of the eighteenth century.

迎头赶上与落后：1690 年代至 1880 年代俄罗斯经济增长


我们提供了 1690 年代至 1880 年代俄罗斯帝国人均 GDP 的年代际估计值，从而首次将世界上最大的经济体之一的经济表现与其他国家进行比较。1760 年代之前俄罗斯经济的显着增长导致赶上西北欧，但随后是 1760 年代至 1800 年代之间的负增长时期以及 1800 年代至 1880 年代的停滞期，使 19 世纪末的俄罗斯比 18 世纪初进一步落后于西方。
