Statistics

The data base provided here is the data which I have collected and estimated through my research. You can use the data without permission. However, I am not liable for any damages arising from the data. If you are interested in the data in more detail, please refer to the articles I mentioned in ‘Notes.’ 

Transportation statistics

Notes

This database provides the data of German public transportation and some basic statistics such as population, gross regional product from 1998 by ‘Land’ (region), which is used in Utsunoniya(2014). The source of this data is the “VDV Statistik” published by Verband Deutscher Verkehrsunternehmen (Association of German Transport Companies) and “Statistisches Jahrbuch” published by Statistisches Bundesamt (Federal Statistical Office). “Erträge” (income) before 2000 is converted from DM into euro.

Notes

This database provides the data of bus passengers, bus kilometers, train passengers, and passenger cars by prefecture in Japan, which is used in Utsunomiya (2013). The data source s are Chiiki Kotsu Nenpo (Regional Transport Annual) supervised by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism (MLIT) for bus and train passengers and passenger cars, and Jidosha Yuso Tokei Nenpo (Car transport Annual), published by MLIT, for bus kilometers.

Historical Statistics

Notes

This database provides the estimated data of financial assets and liabilities of flow of fund accounts in Japan from 1941 to 1952, which is estimated in Utsunomiya (2011) and Utsunomiya (2013). Two data sets based on market value and book value are available from 1949 to 1952. Market value means that share prices are estimated on a market value basis. The market value data has statistical continuity with official 68SNA based data published by the Bank of Japan.

Adjusted Real GDP Estimates(1917-1936)

Notes

This database shows the data of adjusted real GDP and its components from 1917 to 1936, which are calculated on the basis of re-estimation of LTES, Estimates of Long-Term Economic Statistics of Japan, edited by Kazushi Ohkawa et al. in Utsunomiya (2008).
