China in World Industrialization

Research output: Contribution to journalArticleAcademicpeer-review

Abstract

Combining the sectoral accounting method of the System of National Accounts
(SNA) with new statistical materials from the United Nations, as well as historical research into various countries around the world, this paper arrives at an estimate of value added of Chinese and world industries between 1850 and 2012. In doing so, we not only modify past work by Paul Bairoch, but also arrive at significantly different conclusions about China’s position in world industrialization.
