Crisis atlas / GRC / 1826–1878
Greece, 1826–1878
One crisis episode: distinct crisis years merged across gaps of up to two non-crisis years. Types, source agreement, and macro context are drawn from the union of five primary chronologies.
Crisis years in this episode
Every distinct (year, type) event inside the 1826–1878 window, with the chronologies flagging it and the count of agreeing sources. Start-year sources (GMD, JST) mark only the first year, so agreement falls in the continuation years.

Laeven-Valencia banking-crisis detail
Laeven-Valencia reports fiscal cost and output loss for systemic banking crises only. This episode involves sovereign debt crises, for which no comparable cost figures exist in the source chronologies.
Macro context, 1819–1885
Seven years either side of the episode. Each panel has its own scale; the crisis window is shaded. Only indicators with data for Greece in this window are shown. Bank credit growth (year over year in total loans) is available for the 18 Jordà-Schularick-Taylor advanced economies.
Source: Global Macro Database 2026_06 (Müller, Xu, Lehbib & Chen 2025) | Jordà-Schularick-Taylor Macrohistory R6 (credit) Real GDP growth is derived as the year-over-year change in real GDP; current account and government debt are percent of GDP; policy rate is the central-bank rate; bank credit growth is the year-over-year change in JST total loans. Methodology
How each source dates this episode
The chronologies disagree on start years and durations. This table is generated from the event rows, not curated: it lists, per crisis type, which source flags which years inside the window.
