ABSTRACT In the past 50 years, South America has emerged as the dominant world producer of soybeans, a crop of no significance in the region before the middle of the 20th century. As of the crop year 2019/2020, Brazil and Argentina produced 176 million tons which is over half of all world production and these two countries alone will also account for 57 per cent of all Soybeans exported in international trade. How this new agricultural product evolved in these two principal regional producers is the aim of this study. Here we attempt to examine the historical evolution of soybean production in Brazil and Argentina and try to show the unique patterns of production in each of the two crucial states.

ABSTRACT The South American Funds National Exchequer was established in 1818 to contribute to the consolidation of the public debt of Buenos Aires. It was the first financial innovation since the revolutionary outbreak in Buenos Aires, and its failure allowed the authorities to understand the limits of the fiscal and financial commitment they proposed by means of that institution. Its suppression, in 1821, offered an antecedent to develop a deep reform of the financial institutional matrix of Buenos Aires, based on the Public Credit office, the Amortization Exchequer and the Bank of Buenos Aires. The South American Funds National Exchequer was, thus, the first movement in the negotiation on the terms of the financial commitment assumed by the nascent State. This paper analyzes the 973 accounting entries of the institution, providing an interpretation of that failure and its importance for the course of public finances in Buenos Aires.

ABSTRACT This paper deals with the evolution of wages in the construction offices of Segovia, one of the most important Castilian and Spanish manufacturing towns, between 1571 and 1807. Part two deals with the nominal wages earned by the building officials and labourers of the city and part three presents the Segovian prices index between 1571 and 1807. Finally, part four analyses the evolution of the real wages earned in the construction offices of the town. Segovian real wages evolved in line with the local economy; after peaking in the first quarter of the 17th century, they experienced a continuous decline, so in 1807 the real wages of Segovian building officials and labourers were 50 per cent of those of the first quarter of the 17th century.

ABSTRACT In the present work we study the evolution of the prices of the most representative goods of the Buenos Aires market in the decades after independence from the Spanish empire. The paper analyses the evolution of import, export and local prices in Buenos Aires for the first half of the 19th century and intends to contribute to a more accurate estimate of the intense process of price inflation and changes in relative prices that occurred in Buenos Aires during this period. We also aspire to be able to analyse the relationships between the increases in prices and the institutional effects of commercial blockades, the issuance of paper money and changes in the demand for goods that occurred in the commercial interaction of Buenos Aires. An attempt is also made to compare the dynamics of various baskets of goods, allowing us to evaluate the differentiated effects in local, regional and overseas supply and demand. With this in mind we analyse both general price indexes, with their main changes, and also aim to integrate a variety of products in baskets that represent as accurately as possible the diverse demands of the commercial space offered by the Buenos Aires market. Finally, we reexamine the effects of the price variations of the baskets of prices on various social sectors and regions linked to the significant interregional plaza represented by the Buenos Aires market.

This is not the first time that Revista de Historia Económica/Journal of Iberian and Latin American Economic History publishes articles on wages, prices, living standards and other dimensions of human welfare (e.g. inequality, heights and numeracy). The research on living standards received a strong stimulus from the novel methodology and the wide comparative perspective proposed by Robert Allen in the early 2000s. RHE/JILAEH had been receptive to this field of research since some time before. This is probably so because prices and wages were at the core of Hamilton’s research program, one of the cornerstones of the 20 century investigation on the economic history of the most interesting period of the Spanish nation’s existence: the Early Modern Era. Instances of the traditional interest in this field by this journal come easily to mind. By lack of space, only a few will be mentioned. In 1993, Reher and Ballesteros coauthored the most cited article ever appeared in RHE/JILAEH: «Precios y salarios en Castilla la Nueva: La construccion de un índice de salarios reales, 1501–1991». Second to Reher and Ballesteros’ article in terms of citation comes Williamson (1999). Thus, two other main fields—inequality and Iberian America—are present in Williamson’s pioneering work for this journal. In 2010,RHE/JILAEH (28, 2) «Special Issue onLatinAmerican Inequality». It presented a rather diverse collection of articles dealingwith: income inequality (Williamson 2010) and its doubtful «colonial origins» (Dobado and García Montero 2010); modern educational inequality in comparative international perspective (Baten andMumme2010); the anomalies in education in relatively rich countries by lack of tax support (Lindert 2010); the effects on income inequality of the first globalisation in the Southern Cone (Bértola et al. 2010); and the reconstruction of labour income shares in the three largest Iberian American economies from 1870 to 2000 (Frankema 2010).
这并不是《历史回顾》Económica/伊比利亚和拉丁美洲经济史杂志第一次发表关于工资、价格、生活水平和人类福利的其他方面(如不平等、身高和计算能力)的文章。21世纪初,罗伯特·艾伦提出了新的研究方法和广阔的比较视角,这对生活水平研究起到了强烈的刺激作用。RHE/JILAEH从一段时间以前就开始接受这一领域的研究。这可能是因为价格和工资是汉密尔顿研究项目的核心,也是20世纪西班牙最有趣的经济历史研究的基石之一:近代早期。这个杂志对这个领域的传统兴趣的例子很容易记起来。由于篇幅所限,这里只提到少数几个。1993年,Reher和Ballesteros共同撰写了一篇被引用次数最多的文章,发表在RHE/JILAEH上:“Castilla la Nueva的Precios y salarios: la construccide un índice de salarios reales, 1501-1991”。威廉姆森(Williamson, 1999)在引用次数方面仅次于Reher和Ballesteros的文章。因此,另外两个主要领域——不平等和伊比利亚美洲——出现在威廉姆森为本刊所做的开创性工作中。2010年,《拉美不平等问题研究》(第28卷第2期)。它提出了一个相当多样化的文章集处理:收入不平等(Williamson 2010)及其可疑的“殖民起源”(Dobado和García蒙特罗2010);国际比较视角下的现代教育不平等(Baten andMumme2010);相对富裕国家由于缺乏税收支持而导致的教育异常现象(Lindert 2010);南锥体第一次全球化对收入不平等的影响(b rtola et al. 2010);以及1870年至2000年三个最大的伊比利亚美洲经济体的劳动收入份额重建(Frankema 2010)。

ABSTRACT Using social tables and modern household surveys, this article explores Brazil's income distribution from a historical perspective (1850-2010), examining its relationship with economic development and the factors driving inequality changes. It shows that Brazil's inequality was not always high, but rather followed a Kuznets curve, increasing from the early 20th century, reaching a high plateau between the 1970s and 1990s and declining thereafter. Notably, results highlight the importance of both economic and political factors for enabling the completion of the second Kuznets curve phase.

ABSTRACT This paper studies the spatial deployment of temporary settlements in Extremadura in 1932-1933 and 1936. The literature has stressed the role of bottom-up forces driving settlements in 1933 and 1936, perhaps making land reform in Extremadura an interesting case study of local collective action-driving policy implementation in a developing economy. Contrary to this view, we argue that there was an equal or more important role of the top-down, programmatic design of land occupations, which explains a large share of the spatial and temporal variation of expropriations and settlements.

ABSTRACT The outbreak of the First World War had a strong impact on Latin American economies, due to the sharp interruption of the influx of capital and the deep disturbances that it caused in international trade. In the Argentine case, a notable aspect was, together with the increase in the fiscal deficit, the growing trade and payment balance surplus. Public indebtedness was reoriented towards the domestic market by the means of a state bank Banco de la Nación, and this institution also granted a large loan to the governments of England and France, to finance the export of cereals to those countries. This work seeks to contribute both to the debate on the financial impact of the war and postwar conflict in Argentina, as well as to the role of public banks to mitigate the ups and downs of the external sector and mitigate its effects on local actors.
第一次世界大战的爆发对拉丁美洲的经济产生了强烈的影响,因为资本流入急剧中断,并在国际贸易中造成了深刻的混乱。就阿根廷而言,一个值得注意的方面是,在财政赤字增加的同时,贸易和国际收支顺差也在不断扩大。公共债务通过国有银行Banco de la Nación重新导向国内市场,该机构还向英国和法国政府提供大笔贷款,为向这些国家出口谷物提供资金。这项工作旨在促进关于阿根廷战争和战后冲突的金融影响的辩论,以及公共银行在缓解外部部门起伏和减轻其对当地行动者的影响方面的作用。
