Does city-specific economic data for the pre-WW2 decades exist for Japan and Germany? How do I find out?

score:2

Accepted answer

What @MarkJohnson suggested worked out pretty well. I contacted the Homepage - German Federal Statistical Office

They were very helpful and did a cursory search of their archives for free and gave valuable tips.

The information I have thus far: The most extensive source for city-level data in Germany is the book series "Statistisches Jahrbuch Deutscher Gemeinden" resp. "Statistisches Jahrbuch Deutscher Städte" before 1934. The economic data I was looking for was sadly not in the pre-WW2 books. I'm now kind of assuming that the type of data has not been aggregated for that time period.

ETA: I got the information from the Japanese statistical bureau that this type of city-level data probably doesn't exist for Japan (in an aggregated form).

Even though I am a native Japanese speaker, it is too difficult to pinpoint the city oriented data propr the WW2.

According to our famous university'd data, ,

enter image description here

based on the 1990 dollar base, the gross domestice production per capita as of 1935 of Japan is around 2000,(日本), while Britain(英国) 5,900, the U.S 5,700(米国).

For the reference.
