| description | 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. |
