Abstract

This article examines the estimates of industrial output in Catalonia and presents an alternative series of annual data for the period 181 7-1935. In addition, new measurements of productivity trends of labor and energy are presented. It suggests that after acceleration of economic growth in the years 1840-1860, the industrial production increases were only moderate though sustained, remaining at approximately 3.0 % per year. No major progress was obtained because of the scarcity of energy and other natural resources, and the poverty of the Spanish market.
