Database on Gross Prefectural Product in Prewar Japan
Database of gross prefectural product in prewar Japan estimated by Tangjun Yuan, Tokihiko Settsu, Jean-Pascal Bassino, and Kyoji Fukao. A description of the estimation method and analyses using the database (in Japanese) are provided in "Gross Prefectural Product and Industrial Structure in Prewar Japan" (Keizai Kenkyu [The Economic Review], Vol. 60, No. 2, April 2009).
A description in English of the estimation method and analyses using the data, including various revisions and refinements, is provided in Jean-Pascal Bassino, Kyoji Fukao, Ralph Paprzycki, Tokihiko Settsu, and Tangjun Yuan, "Regional Inequality and Industrial Structures in Pre-War Japan: Analysis Based on New Prefectural GDP Estimates," Global COE Hi-Stat Discussion Paper No. 138 (May 2010). The G-COE Hi-Stat program re-estimated long-term economic statistics for Japan as part of the Asian Historical Statistics (ASHSTAT) Project, and this dataset forms part of the outcome.

Revised Version of the Database on Gross Prefectural Product in Prewar Japan
The database was revised and further analyses using the database were conducted in various follow-up studies, including Tokihiko Settsu, Jean-Pascal Bassino, and Kyoji Fukao, "Revisiting Economic Growth in Meiji Japan: Industrial Structure, Labour Productivity and Regional Inequality" (Keizai Kenkyu [The Economic Review], Vol. 67, No. 3, July 2016; in Japanese) and Jean-Pascal Bassino, Kyoji Fukao and Tokihiko Settsu, "Regional Industrialization in Japan," in Bas van Leeuwen, Robin C. M. Philips, and Erik Buyst, eds., An Economic History of Regional Industrialization (Routledge, 2021). For a detailed outline of the estimation method, see Appendix 2 in Kyoji Fukao, Jean-Pascal Bassino, Tatsuji Makino, Ralph Paprzycki, Tokihiko Settsu, Masanori Takashima, and Joji Tokui, Regional Inequality and Industrial Structure in Japan: 1874-2008 (Maruzen, 2015), which uses the previous version of this dataset.
