The analysis of real wages has a long tradition in Germany. The focus of the acquisition is on company wages, on wages of certain branches or for categories of workers as well as on the investigation of long term aggregated nominal and real wages. The study of Ashok V. Desai on the development of real wages in the German Reich between 1871 and 1913 is an important contribution to historical research on wages. The study is innovative and methodically on an exemplary level. But mainly responsible for the upswing in the historical research on wages in the 50s and 60s is an extraordinary publication by Jürgen Kuczynski. “The new historical research on wages in Germany is insolubly connected with Jürgen Kuczynski. In his broad researches the history of wages is only one section among many other themes but it is a very important one can be seen as the core piece of his work.” (Kaufhold, K.H., 1987: Forschungen zur deutschen Preis- und Lohngeschichte (seit 1930). In: Historia Socialis et Oeconomica. Festschrift für Wolfgang Zorn zum 65. Geburtstag. Stuttgart: Franz Steiner Verlag, S, 83). In his first study on long series on nominal and real wages in Germany he used a broad empirical basis and encouraged more research in this area. His weaknesses are methodological inconsistencies and a restricted representativeness. For example he includes tariff wages but also actually paid wages. Some important industries like food or textile industry are not taken into account. Wages in agriculture were often estimated but without enough material necessary for a good estimation. Wages for work at home are not regraded in the calculation of the index. The weight of cities in the calculation of the index is relatively too high compared to rural regions and therefor it leaks regional representativeness.In his study Desai uses the reports of trade associations for the Reich´s insurance office on the persons who are insured in the accident insurance and their wages as a basis for the calculation of annual nominal average wages. Desais focusses on industrial wages because only for them long term series are available. As the insurance premiums are calculated according to the income level the documents of the trade associations can be used for the calculation of an index for wages development. Desais study is also very useful regarding the calculation of a new index for costs of living based the model of a typical worker family. „F. Grumbach and H. König have used the same sources to derive indices of industrial earnings. The main differences between their series and ours are: (a) we have adopted the industrial classification followed by the Reichsversicherungsamt, while Grumbach and König have made larger industrial groups, (b) we have calculated average annual earnings, while they claim to have calculated average daily earnings (i.e. to have adjusted the annual figures for the average number of days worked per year per worker), and (c) they have failed to correct distortions in the original data” (Desai, A.V., 1968: Real Wages in Germany 1871–1913.

The study is focused on the wagesand salaries
proportions in the era before World War I. In respect thereof, a working hypothesis is: The proportion of wages and salaries as to the national income increases in the course of the economic progress because (and as long as) the proportion of the wage and salary earners compared to the total number of income recipients increases too; both proportions are higher in national economies with highly-developed industries as compared to less developed agricultural regions. The correlation between the income proportion generated from employed work and the national income on the one hand, and the weight of the employed part of the population within the body of socio-economic groups on the other, is explained in this study. Moreover, an empirical documentation is realised hereby.

This data selection represents a thematic extract from the comprehensive study “The Growth of the German Economy since the mid-19th Century“ (“Das Wachstum der deutschen Wirtschaft seit der Mitte des 19. Jahrhunderts”) from 1965 by Walter G. Hoffmann. The main objective of Hoffmann’s study is to work out statistical figures concerning the long-term development of the German national economy, as well as the individual fields of this subject area. In doing so, the time series shall enable the verification of various hypotheses concerning economic growth. This aim, however, can only be reached if such time series are based on comparable statistical, methodical, and content-related concepts, and if they are collected for a period with maximum length. Consequently, this data selection comprises more than 800 pages with 250 tables, featuring almost every time series between 1850 and 1960 that can be considered relevant for the economic development. Whenever necessary, these materials were completed by estimates. Moreover, the above-named analyses of long-term tendencies aim at creating a reference system for the numerous short-term changes occuring within most national economies in the course of a century. Here the special focus of Hoffman’s work lies on the visualisation of the gained materials as regards the raise, distribution, and use of the national income. The respective calculation is based on the two production factors of labour and capital and culminates in an overview of production. The calculation of the distribution, on the other hand, deals with the functional and individual, i.e. personal distribution of (earned and capital) income. In its turn, the calculation of use is divided into the sectors of private and public consumption, investment, and the national trade balance.

The author discusses “growth and economic trend” at the example of Nuremberg. Especially those results economic trend and growth research will be taken into accounts, which are relevant for economic history. A difficulty is that the explanation models for economic growth are not meaningful. There is no empirically valid theory. In the present investigation the author uses the method of the in the USA developed “New Economic History” (“econometric history” or “cliometrics”). Thereby this study is also an attempt to quantify the exactly defined terms of the economic analysis which is in accordance with the request of Simon Kuznets (Kuznets, p., 1954: Summary of Discussion and Postscript, in: Journal of Economic History (4), p. 553). Therefore in the first part of this study theoretical fundamentals will be presented, especially important explanations and hypothesis about economic processes in the 19th century. Subsequently a description and interpretation of variables that are characteristic for the development of Nuremberg will be given. The aim of this work is mainly the quantification of economic variables such as Employment, Production, Income, Prices and their comparison with the hypothesis of the scientific discussion. The concrete differentiation of the subject is a compromise between the collection and preparation of data from problematic statistical sources on the one hand and their presentation on the other hand. The development of employment is described in detail because we found many interesting sources about that subject but also because of content aspects: Looking at employment it is possible to demonstrate the industrialization process, for example through increasing urbanization or the development of unemployment. The second (statistical) part shows, how the tables and data that were used in the time series were found. The focus will be on necessary explanations for the calculation methods.

Western Europe's GDP per capita was roughly double that of Central and Eastern Europe or Southern Europe in the period between 1870 and 1913. At the outbreak of the First World War in 1914, GDP per capita in the west was equal to 3.7 thousand FY1990 U.S. dollars, roughly two thousand more than the other two regions. Of the three regions, Western Europe experienced the largest GDP per capita growth between 1870 and 1900, although Central and Eastern Europe's growth was higher between 1900 and 1913.

Variations of growth, as well as short-term cyclical variations, can be measured by different indicators. The current research relies on two measuring concepts, i.e. multivariate diffusion indeces or the national product. For the period from 1851 to 1913, there are four time series available regarding the development of the German NNP, notably the calculation of formation, distribution and application by Hoffmann (1965), and the calculation of distribution by Hoffmann and Müller (1959). ´In this article, we contribute to the ongoing debate about the data quality by presenting improvements of all four available series. In particular, we improve the output series by calculating a new Index of industrial production and by basing the index on a revised value of industrial output in 1913. In addition, we significantly enhance the capital sock and net investment series, and we present new data about capital income. Furthermore, we present a new series of net foreign capital income. Finally, we add new information about "indirect taxes" to the income and output series, and we thus calculate four series representing an NNP in market prices. Despite our significant improvements, differences between the series remain, and we solve this problem in a second step by computing a compromise estimate of Germany´s NNP for the years 1851 to 1913 as a weighted average of the four corrected original series. The remaining parts of the article analyze long-term growth and business cycles of the German economy employing the new compromise estimate. The revised data show a higher level of economic activity for 1851 as well as for 1913, but with a larger difference for 1851. Thus, the average growth rate of the German economy was lower during the industrialization period. Moreover, the driving force of this growth was a growing total factor productivity, which in turn was driven by structural change from agriculture to industry. The business cycles of the German economy had an average length of about five years during the second half of the nineteenth century; the magnitude of cycles was weaker in the last quarter of the nineteenth and the early twentieth century than before. Of special interest is our business cycle dating for the 1870s: with the new data the well-known pattern of "Gründerzeit"-boom and "Gründerzeit"-depression can not be confirmed.´ (Burhop, C. / Wolff, G.

Over the first half of the 20th century, the Soviet Union's GDP per capita rose from 1,218 U.S. dollars to 2,8334 U.S. dollars. There was a slight decrease between 1913 and 1929 due to the devastation caused by the First World War and Russian Revolution and the transition to a communist government and socialist economic structure. However, GDP per capita grew over the following three intervals, and the Soviet Union's relative isolation in the 1920s and 1930s meant that it was relatively untouched by the Great Depression in the 1930s. At the end of the recovery period after the Second World War, in 1950, GDP per capita had already exceeded pre-war levels by a significant margin, and the Soviet Union emerged as one of the two global superpowers, alongside the United States.

In fact, this is a first attempt to verify the hypothesis of an agricultural cycle sui generis by means of an interregional comparison of the Prussian provinces East Prussia and Rhineland (implying regional differences as to the process of industrialisation within Prussia).As a conclusion, it can be said that the income and employment divide, as it could be assessed for the development of the Prussian regions already in 1816, was still increasing in the course of the 19th century. These findings support the Sector-Export-Basis Thesis (Borchardt) as well as the Myrdal Thesis.Furthermore, it seems that the population pressure, which was counteracted by the expansion of the inner regional agriculture, led to an increase in the per capita income at first, whereas an intensification of the protoindustrial capacities only held the per capita income on a constant level. Already in the pre-industrial age, this phenomenon had caused a growing divergence in the regional (per capita) incomes because of the complex interrelation of basic agricultural conditions and population growth. Later, particularly the technical progress and the discovery of new raw materials gave rise to a universal restructuring of the named locations. Hereby, regions with protoindustrial experience and an appropriate potential of population were especially favoured, as these factors constitute the elements of a sales-oriented infrastructure and a greater potential of demand; now agricultural monostructures, which could stand their ground against the demo-economic impulses of change, were disadvantaged although they created agricultural bases for export. Since the development in the former led to an increase in their per capita income due to rising labour productivity, the income differences increased as well. This trend was weakened by the fact that the growing population compelled progresses in productivity also in rural regions. On the other hand, the income gap was widened by the declining demand for protoindustrial products which where squeezed out of the market by industrial competition.

Firstly Holtfrerich presents the Rostov Concept of the leading sector, before he sketches the development of mining in the Ruhr area by means of theoretical approaches concerning theories on production, price, and investment. In doing so, the author attempts to quantify the connections between the development of coal mining in the Ruhr district and other important sectors by means of an input-output scheme. Thereafter he examines how far the development of mining in the Ruhr area in the 19th century in its major phase of growth complies with the Rostov criteria for the leading sector. Finally Holtfrerich verifies the assumption that mining in the Ruhr district has been a leading sector of the German industrialisation.

Within its sector the pig iron industry needs to be differentiated economically especially from the streel industry because there is much interdependence on an operational level. After the systematical list of goods for the contemporary industry statistics (edition 1970, Stuttgart und Mainz, S. 37 f.) the furnace industry (synonymous term for pig iron industry) is responsible for the production of pig iron and ferroalloys but not for the production of pig steel. This definition is based on metallurgic and technological reasons. Pig iron is an intermediate product in the transformation process between iron ore and roll steel. Pig iron itself cannot be rolled or forges therefor it is not a usable product in the terms of the steel industry. Another important differentiation needs to be made in contrast to the sector of foundries; this distinction is not that easy. In terms of metallurgy pig iron is not an entirely new product after repeated fusing and shedding in casting molds. But again an economic distinction can be made: pig iron is an intermediate product which is an economically usable finished product only after fusing. The pig iron industry can therefore be defined as an industry which produces pure primary products for foundries and steelworks. The geographical survey area is the German customs territory which basically includes the German Reich and the grand duchy of Luxemburg. Concerning the temporal differentiation there is a field of tension between political and economic history. 1871 was the year if the foundation of the Reich but economically this is no special date. A more sensible start from an economic point of view would be 1873 as a peak in industrial expansion. But 1871 is a very commonly used date for starting an investigation period of the German Reich. So for pragmatic reason we use 1871 as the starting year.The study is subdivided into two main topics. In the first part the growth of pig iron industry is decomposed in its components and explained in an inter-sectoral way using a neoclassical production model of growth. The necessary inter-sectoral analysis of this growth is undertaken in the second part of the study.

The analysis of real wages has a long tradition in Germany. The focus of the acquisition is on company wages, on wages of certain branches or for categories of workers as well as on the investigation of long term aggregated nominal and real wages. The study of Ashok V. Desai on the development of real wages in the German Reich between 1871 and 1913 is an important contribution to historical research on wages. The study is innovative and methodically on an exemplary level. But mainly responsible for the upswing in the historical research on wages in the 50s and 60s is an extraordinary publication by Jürgen Kuczynski. “The new historical research on wages in Germany is insolubly connected with Jürgen Kuczynski. In his broad researches the history of wages is only one section among many other themes but it is a very important one can be seen as the core piece of his work.” (Kaufhold, K.H., 1987: Forschungen zur deutschen Preis- und Lohngeschichte (seit 1930). In: Historia Socialis et Oeconomica. Festschrift für Wolfgang Zorn zum 65. Geburtstag. Stuttgart: Franz Steiner Verlag, S, 83). In his first study on long series on nominal and real wages in Germany he used a broad empirical basis and encouraged more research in this area. His weaknesses are methodological inconsistencies and a restricted representativeness. For example he includes tariff wages but also actually paid wages. Some important industries like food or textile industry are not taken into account. Wages in agriculture were often estimated but without enough material necessary for a good estimation. Wages for work at home are not regraded in the calculation of the index. The weight of cities in the calculation of the index is relatively too high compared to rural regions and therefor it leaks regional representativeness.In his study Desai uses the reports of trade associations for the Reich´s insurance office on the persons who are insured in the accident insurance and their wages as a basis for the calculation of annual nominal average wages. Desais focusses on industrial wages because only for them long term series are available. As the insurance premiums are calculated according to the income level the documents of the trade associations can be used for the calculation of an index for wages development. Desais study is also very useful regarding the calculation of a new index for costs of living based the model of a typical worker family. „F. Grumbach and H. König have used the same sources to derive indices of industrial earnings. The main differences between their series and ours are: (a) we have adopted the industrial classification followed by the Reichsversicherungsamt, while Grumbach and König have made larger industrial groups, (b) we have calculated average annual earnings, while they claim to have calculated average daily earnings (i.e. to have adjusted the annual figures for the average number of days worked per year per worker), and (c) they have failed to correct distortions in the original data” (Desai, A.V., 1968: Real Wages in Germany 1871–1913.
