Abstract: Abstract Historical national accounting helps to reconstruct productivity and income indicators for past periods. This chapter presents recent results of such a reconstruction for seven world regions. Strategies for both the pre-statistical age and more modern periods, in which national accounting data are more abundant, help to anticipate opportunities and challenges when constructing and interpreting historical income and productivity measures.
