In the absence of sufficient data for nearly all economies until well into the 19th century, past GDP cannot be calculated, but at best only roughly estimated. In a first step, economic historians try to reconstruct the GDP per capita for a given political or geographical entity from the meagre evidence. This value is then multiplied by estimated p...

The following estimates are taken exclusively from the 2007 monograph Contours of the World Economy, 1–2030 AD by the British economist Angus Maddison. When graphed, one can see China is reasserting its position as the world's largest economy, which it had lost around 1890. There was little difference in GDP per capita based on level of development in earlier eras, so in 1500, China was the largest economy in the world, followed closely by India. A ^ From 1 AD to 1913 AD, India includes moder...
1830–1938
The following estimates were made by the economic historian Paul Bairoch. Contrary to most other estimates on this page, the GNP (at market prices) is given here in 1960 US dollars. Unlike Maddison, Bairoch allows for the fluctuation of borders, basing his estimates mostly on the historical boundaries at the given points in time.
1500–1870
The following estimates are taken from a revision of Angus Maddison's numbers for the whole of Europe by the Italian economists Elio Lo Cascio and Paolo Malanima.According to their calculations, the basic level of European GDP (PPP) was historically higher, but its increase was less pronounced.
Indian empires
Angus Maddison's below GDP estimates for Indian subcontinent (including modern Pakistan and Bangladesh) refer to the following empires: ^ At year 1, year 1000, year 1500 and till the start of British colonisation in India in 17th century, India's GDP always varied between ~22 - 33% world's total GDP, which dropped to 2% by Independence of India in 1947.At the same time, the Britain's share of the world economy rose from 2.9% in 1700 up to 9% in 1870 alone.

British Empire and India

The empire's largest economy in 1870 was British India with a 12.15% share of world GDP, followed by the United Kingdomwith a 9.03% share.
