| Abstract: | The paper sets out a short-cut method for allocating country level GDP estimates across regions. Comparing United Kingdom regional GDP estimates generated using the short-cut method against existing regional GDP figures suggests that it produces acceptable results. The authors make estimates of GDP for the four countries of the United Kingdom for each of the census years between 1861 and 1911. Irish GDP per worker and per caput grew faster than British. These indicators demonstrate weak convergence of the two regions. The bulk of the Irish performance may be explained by traditional force such as TFP growth and capital accumulation. of the United |
