BRAZIL’S HISTORICAL GDP PER CAPITA GROWTH RATES IN IPEADATA, THE MADDISON PROJECT DATABASE, AND OUR TWO PAPERS: A COMPARATIVE NOTE

Edmar Bacha, Guilherme A. Tombolo and Flavio R. Versiani

Revista Brasileira de Economia - RBE, 2024, vol. 78, issue 3

Abstract: In two recent papers (Bacha, Tombolo, and Versiani, 2023 and 2024), we developed new estimates of Brazil’s GDP growth for 1900-1980 and 1820-1900, respectively. These estimates diverge from traditional sources: Ipeadata for 1900-1980 and the Maddison Project Database for 1820-1900. This note contains a more detailed comparison of our estimates with those of these two sources.
