낙성대경제연구소가 이십여년간 추진해 온 작업의 결실입니다.

일본 자금 지원을 받지 않았으며 순수히 한국연구재단의 지원으로 이루어졌습니다.

납세자들께 감사드립니다.

우파정권 좌파정권 모두 아낌없이 지원해 주었는데 좌파 정권 아래서 더 많은 연구비를 딸 수 있었던 것으로 기억합니다.

이것이 친일 연구인지는 이 책 사용자들이 판단할 것입니다.

This book presents economic statistics of Korea in the past three centuries, focusing on the century following 1910. The data, typically time series, rather than cross-sectional, are given in 22 chapters, which refer to population, wages, prices, education, health, national income and wealth, and technology, among others.

An overview draws attention to discontinuous shifts occurring over time in the quantity and quantity of the statistical information available, which was associated with the regime changes Korea underwent including the imposition of Japanese rule in 1910 and de-colonization and split into two Koreas three and half decades later. Individual chapters begin with a brief introduction, which helps users better understand and use data. Data sources and references in the Japanese and Korean language are fully provided following the standard Helpburn and McCune-Reischauer Romanization with English translation to assist users identify materials and explore deeper into the wealth of statistical data waiting to be analyzed.
