ABSTRACTThis paper explores the dynamics of mild coffee trade during the term of the International Coffee Agreement, focusing on Costa Rica as a case study. We aimed to verify the influence of the agreement on coffee exports and understand its impact on the exports of high-quality coffee. To compare the influence of the coffee agreement on the trade performance of high-quality coffee producers with that of producers specializing in coffee of similar – or lower – quality, we also included exports of Brazilian coffee (low quality) and Colombian coffee (high quality) in the sample. We focused on analysing commodity trade agreements in the second half of the twentieth century and, simultaneously, on the drivers of coffee exports based on a gravity equation consistent with international trade models. Our findings allowed us to conclude that the International Coffee Agreement gave rise to few benefits for ‘Other Milds’ countries such as Costa Rica and greater benefits for ‘Colombian Milds’ countries such as Colombia, at least in its early versions.KEYWORDS: International Coffee Agreement (ICoA)commodities agreementscoffee marketcoffee trademarket regulationgravity equationJEL CODES: F13024Q 17Q18 AcknowledgementsAndrea Montero-Mora thanks the University of Costa Rica for the scholarship awarded between 2014 and 2018 to develop the doctoral.

This study examines the long-term effect of Christian missionary exposure on HIV infection and related sexual behaviour in Zambia. I use distance to a historical missionary church and health facility as proxies for missionary exposure. I constructed a geocoded data set combining information on the historical locations of churches and missionary health centres with contemporary individual-level data. I find that individuals who live close to a historical missionary church have a higher likelihood of being infected with HIV. I find no significant effect of proximity to a missionary health centre on HIV. Considering that heterosexual transmission is the main channel of HIV transmission in Zambia, I analyse the effect of missionary exposure on sexual behaviour. The following patterns emerge: individuals who live close to a Protestant church are less likely to engage in premarital sexual abstinence; they also have their first sexual encounter at an earlier age, with the effect being stronger for men than women. Living near a Catholic church is associated with having a higher number of sexual partners.

ABSTRACTThis paper studies the history of government-sponsored rural settlements in the province/state of São Paulo, Brazil, as a pendular movement, whose points of reversion depended on the interests of a landowning elite to obtain labour for newly expanding plantations from the 1820s to the 1920s. Faltering infrastructure and ill-defined property rights over public lands were persistent constraints to the development of such rural settlements. Part of this failure can be attributed to a lack of State capacity and part to the opposition of plantation owners to the settling of independent smallholdings. The paper complements this historical-institutional analysis with a quantitative description of such settlements in 1898–1920. These late government-sponsored rural settlements showed the potential to grow in demographic and economic terms and had an overall demographic and occupational composition well aligned with the goal of creating a family-based peasantry. However, there were enormous heterogeneities in ethno-linguistic composition, educational attainment, and economic prosperity between and within such rural settlements, which point to idiosyncratic features that should be taken into account in future research assessing the short- and long-run effects of immigration and settlement policies in Brazil.KEYWORDS: Rural settlement (Núcleo colonialColônia)plantationcoffeeimmigrationBrazil AcknowledgmentsI thank Stephan Klasen (in memoriam), Erika Anderson, Renato Colistete, André Lanza, José Meléndez, Miqueias Mügge, and William Summerhill for discussing various aspects of this paper.

摘要本文研究了巴西<s:1>圣保罗州政府资助的农村定居点的历史，这是一场摇摆不定的运动，从19世纪20年代到20世纪20年代，它的回归点取决于土地所有者精英为新扩张的种植园获得劳动力的利益。落后的基础设施和不明确的公共土地产权一直制约着农村定居点的发展。这种失败的部分原因是国家能力不足，部分原因是种植园主反对建立独立的小农场。本文对1898-1920年间的定居点进行了定量描述，以补充这一历史制度分析。这些后期由政府资助的农村定居点在人口和经济方面显示出增长的潜力，其总体人口和职业构成与建立以家庭为基础的农民的目标完全一致。然而，在这些农村定居点之间和内部的种族语言构成、教育程度和经济繁荣方面存在巨大的异质性，这表明在未来评估巴西移民和定居点政策的短期和长期影响的研究中应考虑到的特殊特征。感谢Stephan Klasen (in memorialen)、Erika Anderson、Renato Colistete、andr<s:1> Lanza、jos<s:1> melsamudez、miquias m<e:1> gge和William Summerhill对本文各个方面的讨论。Maria Lúcia Lamounier给了我一个非常必要的智力激励，让我继续努力。我也从第十八届世界经济史大会和第三届德国社会经济史大会上收到的评论中受益。三位匿名审稿人和编辑Alfonso Herranz-Loncán的评论大大改进了原稿。通常免责声明适用，作者对本文的内容全权负责。披露声明作者未报告潜在的利益冲突。本文初稿是在Göttingen大学经济与社会历史研究所博士后期间完成的。这篇文章经过了细微的修改。这些变化不影响文章的学术内容。注1:欧洲移民通常是此类定居政策的焦点，部分原因是(但并非完全是)“漂白”巴西的种族主义意图。尽管如此，早在19世纪10年代，出生在<e:1>圣保罗的地方法官Antonio Rodrigues Velloso de Oliveira就设想在人口稀少的地区重新安置自由的巴西人(Velloso de Oliveira Citation1868 [Citation1810]， 35 - 36,74 - 75,87 - 88;引用本文:Citation1873 [Citation1814]， 112-13正如m<s:1> gge (Citation2022)所讨论的那样，当时在巴西领土内征服和定居土著人口的计划也很频繁，并且在Velloso de Oliveira的提案中也很普遍脚注1中提到的那位改革的支持者非常谨慎，他反对在殖民时期对皇家土地授予的产权进行任何改变。定居政策将完全以土地租赁改革为基础，而不是以财产变化为基础(Velloso de Oliveira Citation1873 [Citation1814]， 99-100)例如，在《Diário de S. Paulo》(1865年10月18日，第2期)和《Correio Paulistano》(1866年3月26日，第2期)中，关于第一个德国殖民地在圣阿马洛的成功与失败的激烈辩论关于农村定居点及其对巴西长期发展影响的研究是评估大规模移民对美洲影响的更大文献的一部分。拉丁美洲参见Sánchez-Alonso (Citation2019, 24-27)Carvalho Filho和Monasterio (Citation2012)还发现，在巴西南格兰德州，历史定居点与当前发展指标之间存在正相关关系;这篇论文虽然没有否认人力资本的重要性，但强调了减少土地所有权不平等的积极作用巴西国家图书馆在线资源库:www.bndigital.bn.gov.br(最后一次访问是在2022年5月19日)psamurez melsamudez (Citation2023a)也采用了全国范围的报道，并将巴西的案例纳入全球背景。不幸的是，我是在完成对这篇论文的最后审查之后才知道那本即将出版的书的对这些案例研究的详尽回顾超出了本文的范围。尽管如此，我还是要重点介绍Zenha (Citation1950)和Siriani (Citation2003)关于第一批德国殖民地的作品，以及Langenbuch (Citation1971)关于19世纪70年代在<s:1>圣保罗市周围建立的殖民地的作品免费翻译的Annuario Estatístico do Estado de s<e:1>圣保罗。 关于Langsdorff的档案，见Bennigsen (Citation1954)和Schnaiderman (Citation1966)另见《O Farol Paulistano》发表的意见(1828年3月26日第2-4期)关于德国移民到巴西南部的史学是该国任何移民浪潮中最广泛和全面的。德雷尔(Citation2013)是一个很好的总结。更广泛地说，Seyferth (Citation2002)和Kupfer (Citation2021)尝试对巴西讲德语的人进行详尽的参考文献综述埃斯特拉达也被错误地拼写为Entrada。里约热内卢Negro位于目前的帕拉纳州，1853年从<s:1>圣保罗解放出来，成为一个独立的省份。(1855年2月20日，1)这一时期的移民流入非常少。1827年至1839年，圣保罗仅占巴西总流入人口的11.11%，而巴西总流入人口占美国总移民的1.76%。因此，本文的重点与移民流入的规模无关，而是与这一时期在巩固导致大规模移民的政策方面的相关性有关。我感谢一位匿名推荐人对这个问题的讨论。早期评论见O Farol Paulistano(1828年3月26日，2-4;1828年11月22日，1;在1828年11月15日的版本(1-2)中，韦尔盖罗本人发表了一篇评论值得注意的是，当时参与巴西移民政策制定的个人中，有许多人曾在德国Göttingen大学学习。这些人包括梅洛·佛朗哥、朗斯多夫、谢弗和尼古拉斯·韦尔盖罗的儿子路易斯·韦尔盖罗(见下文)。虽然我并不是说他们作为学生建立了一个共同的网络——正如Langsdorff([1825/26] 1997, 14)明确提到他将在<s:1>圣保罗第一次见到Mello Franco博士——他们在德国各州招募移民，以及他们在不来梅和汉堡可能拥有的联系，很可能与他们在德国北部各州度过的青年时代有关。在这方面，请参阅Begliomini (Citationn.d)， Bennigsen Citation1954, Castro (Citationn.d)。， 25)， Karastojanov (Citation1998, footnote 388)， Schnaiderman (Citation1966)和Sommer (Citation1950a, Citation1950b)。关于巴西移民殖民地的思想史及其与德国摄影主义和Göttingen大学的相互联系，见psamezmelsamendez (Citation2023b).18Aldeamentos是自16世纪以来由宗教团体建立的定居点，目

ABSTRACT The production and export of sugar defined the colonial history of Brazil. It was here that the first modern slave based plantation system was created in America. Up through the end of the 17th century it was the dominant Atlantic producer of sugar. Although production continued to grow it was replaced in world markets in the 18th century by West Indian growers and was late to modernize in the 19th and early 20th century. Yet today it is once again the world's dominant producer of sugar and the second largest producer of ethanol. How and why these changes occurred is the theme of this essay in which we explore the rise of the modern sugar and ethanol industries in Brazil.

This paper analyses and compares the development of colonial governments' health care provision and policies in Ghana and Côte d’Ivoire from circa 1900 to 1955. Using qualitative and quantitative information from colonial reports, a new dataset captures the development of four factors relevant to these aims: health care expenditures, health care facilities, medical staff, and patients. Deflated health care expenditures per capita were found to be higher in Ghana than in Côte d’Ivoire in almost all years. The number of health care facilities per capita was larger in Côte d’Ivoire than in Ghana, and facilities were more geographically dispersed. Ghana had a lower number of medical staff per capita than Côte d’Ivoire as of the 1920s. Medical staff from Côte d’Ivoire formed the majority of the staff base as early as the mid-1910s. Finally, the analysis shows that the number of patients treated in health care facilities in Ghana was low until the 1920s, and took off as more facilities became available during the 1940s. These findings provide evidence that even two countries that are relatively similar (apart from their colonial history) can have different colonial health care trajectories.
