Going Back To

A question about this:

http://www.economist.com/blogs/buttonwood/2009/08/the_growth_illusion
"Alas, this is not the case. Work done by Elroy Dimson, Paul Marsh and Mike Staunton at the London Business School established this back in 2005. Over the 17 countries they studied, going back to 1900, there was actually a negative correlation between investment returns and growth in GDP per capita, the best measure of how rich people are getting."

Which part of 'over the 17 countries they studies' does 'going back to 1900' modify?

"More than 200 records of employees were studied, dating back to the early 1980s

Of course. The records date back to the early 1980s. What else could it be?

Don't double post.
