“…Due to this early start, by the end of the 19th century a clear gap had arisen between Europe and its Offshoots on the one hand and the rest of the world on the other. These results are similar to those found by Leandro Prados de la Escosura (2010Escosura ( , 2014). …”

“…The lack of precision makes it difficult to distinguish between regions in this period, clearly showing how important the imputations are for the earlier period. After about 1950, the precision on the regional These results are similar to those found by Leandro Prados de la Escosura (2010Escosura ( , 2014). …”

We are very pleased today, more than a decade after the release of Maddison's seminal work, to renew our association with his legacy. We do so through a report that both connects with and departs from his contributions to economic history. It connects, due to the report's long-term, global perspective, covering the period 1820-2010. It departs by going beyond GDP to encompass a broader set of dimensions that shape people's living conditions, such as their wages, longevity, education, height and personal security, among others.The present volume represents the culmination of the efforts undertaken by a group of economic historians as part of an international, inter-disciplinary effort, the Clio-Infra project. We are releasing it in the context of the better life initiative, which was launched by the OECD Secretary-General, Angel Gurría, in 2011 (and multi-disciplinary) as angus Maddison has demonstrated in the past, such global datasets can be produced only after major efforts in peer-reviewed research and standardisation of the underlying national data. Therefore a collaborative effort is needed to deal with the complexities involved in gathering, systematising and analysing data from a wide variety of disparate sources. This requires teamwork, in which experts on various topics, regions and periods work together to create standardised datasets of key historical variables. This is the approach adopted by both The Maddison Project, which focuses on h...

“…From the 1960s, GDP again grew faster than life expectancy, and this has only begun to change in the last few decades. 25 For the Kakwani transformation, we thus use the same thresholds as in Prados de la Escosura (2014Escosura ( , 2013, which are in turn obtained from the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) (2010). In the UNDP reports from 1995 to 2009 the maximum and minimum values for life expectancy at birth were respectively established at 85 and 25 years.…”
