The following does what you want but am not sure if this is the best way 
to do it:

\begin{center}
\begin{tabular}{cc}
 {\begin{tabular}{|c|r|}
  \hline
  1990 & 509.40  \\
  1991 & 1338.50 \\
  1992 & 844.60 \\
  1993 &  1059.70\\
  1994 & 587.10 \\
  1995 &  1072.20
 \end{tabular}} &
 {\begin{tabular}{|c|r|r|}
  \hline
  1996 & 1173.30 & 1173.30 \\
  1997 &  717.40& 1173.30\\
  1998 & 1431.80 & 1173.30\\
  1999 & 1009.40 & 1173.30\\
  2000 & 1033.00 & 1173.30\\
  2001 & 976.00 & 1173.30\\
  \hline
  \end{tabular}}\\
{\begin{tabular}{|c|r|}
    1992 & 844.60 \\
  1993 &  1059.70\\
  1994 & 587.10 \\
  1995 &  1072.20\\
      \hline
 \end{tabular}} &
   {\begin{tabular}{crr}
&& \\
