DESCRIPTION:The Japanese economy embarked in the last decades of the 19th 
 century in a process of innovation leading to an acceleration of economic 
 growth. As available national accounts estimates (Ohkawa and Shinohara 197
 9) provide only country level figures starting in 1885\, the distinctive f
 eatures of the early phase of Japanese economic development remain a matte
 r of debate and conjecture. Relying on new sectoral GDP estimates for 1874
 \, 1890\, and 1909\, for each of the 47 prefectures (Fukao et al. 2015)\, 
 we conduct a quantitative analysis of structural change during Meiji Japan
 's economic miracle\, accounting also for its regional dimension.
