Pleae excuse my ignorance, but I was looking for the above info calculated using the same methodology and have drawn a blank. Can anyone give me a pointer?

Hi GreghSingh

Many thanks. Alas, this one I found easily and gross GDP is my preferred option. However, it is finding a 1950 ot thereabouts eqiovalent that is proving difficult. I can also readily find data for 1950 onwards but presenting GDP in different ways (eg % of EU GDP, per capita GDP rtc). Frustratingly, all of these must have been arrived at from a calculation based on gross GDP, however, without knowing what the methodology was, it is impossible to calculate back to the gross. :(

Incidentally, I am most surporised that Poland's gross GDP was that muych greater than that of Czechoslovakia, even taking into account that Czechoslovakia was a smaller country than Poland.
