ABSTRACT The paper provides first generation estimates of poverty and inequality rates for three countries in Francophone Africa – Cameroon, Côte d’Ivoire, and Gabon – in the aftermath of independence. Sources – a large collection of historical household budgets – are new, as is the method that allows to connect historical sources to modern household budget surveys, and to deliver nationally representative estimates. The second part of the paper identifies the trend of poverty and inequality in Côte d’Ivoire for the years 1965 to 2015: mean income growth failed to reduce poverty during the 15 years of economic boom post-independence (1965–1979) because of increasing inequality. Conversely, in the following period (1979–2015) poverty changes are mostly guided by the evolution of growth.
本文提供了法语非洲三个国家-喀麦隆,Côte科特迪瓦和加蓬-独立后的贫困和不平等率的第一代估计。来源——大量历史家庭预算的集合——是新的,将历史来源与现代家庭预算调查联系起来,并提供具有全国代表性的估计的方法也是新的。论文的第二部分确定了1965年至2015年Côte科特迪瓦的贫困和不平等趋势:由于不平等加剧,在独立后(1965 - 1979)的15年经济繁荣期间,平均收入增长未能减少贫困。相反,在接下来的时期(1979-2015年),贫困变化主要受增长演变的指导。

The Long-Term Effects of Extractive Institutions: Evidence from Trade Policies in Colonial French Africa 采掘制度的长期影响:来自法属殖民地非洲贸易政策的证据

ABSTRACT Despite having convincingly linked colonial extractive institutions to African current poverty, the literature remains unclear about which exact institutions are to blame. To address this research question, in this paper I identify trade policies as one of the main components of colonial extraction by showing their long-term effects on African economic growth. By using the gap between prices paid to African producers in the French colonies and competitive prices as a measure of rent extraction via trade monopsonies, I find a negative correlation between such price gaps and current development. This correlation is not driven by differences in geographic characteristics or national institutions. Moreover, it cannot be explained by the selection of initially poorer places into higher colonial extraction. The evidence suggests that trade monopsonies affected subsequent growth by reducing development in rural areas and that these effects persisted for a long time after independence.
摘要尽管已经令人信服地将殖民榨取制度与非洲当前的贫困联系起来,但文献中仍不清楚究竟是哪种制度应受到谴责。为了解决这一研究问题,在本文中,我通过展示贸易政策对非洲经济增长的长期影响,将其确定为殖民掠夺的主要组成部分之一。通过使用支付给法国殖民地非洲生产商的价格与有竞争力的价格之间的差距来衡量通过贸易垄断获得的租金,我发现这种价格差距与当前发展之间存在负相关。这种相关性不是由地理特征或国家机构的差异驱动的。此外,这不能用将最初较贫穷的地方选择为更高的殖民地血统来解释。有证据表明,贸易垄断通过减少农村地区的发展影响了随后的增长,而且这些影响在独立后持续了很长一段时间。

Were early banks important for economic growth? Evidence from Latin America 早期的银行对经济增长重要吗?来自拉丁美洲的证据

ABSTRACT This article examines the available evidence from five Latin American economies (Mexico, Brazil, Argentina, Chile, and Peru) and determines the effect of bank output on economic growth from 1870 to 1920. By relying on a panel error-correction model, the evidence suggests that bank output had a significant long-term impact on GDP per capita. In the long run, an increase of 1% in the level of bank output per capita caused an increase of 0.2%-0.3% in GDP per capita. Compared to other studies, however, our estimates suggest a relatively low impact of bank output on GDP per capita. The results are robust to changes in the specification, in the sample, and in the method of deflating nominal variables.
本文考察了五个拉美经济体(墨西哥、巴西、阿根廷、智利和秘鲁)的现有证据,并确定了1870年至1920年间银行产出对经济增长的影响。依靠面板误差修正模型,有证据表明,银行产出对人均GDP有重大的长期影响。从长期来看,人均银行产出水平每增加1%,人均GDP就会增加0.2%-0.3%。然而,与其他研究相比,我们的估计表明,银行产出对人均GDP的影响相对较低。结果是稳健的变化在规格,在样本,并在deflating名义变量的方法。

Wages of male and female domestic workers in the Cossack Hetmanate: Poltava, 1765 to 1769 哥萨克帝国中男性和女性家庭佣工的工资:波尔塔瓦,1765至1769年

ABSTRACT This paper investigates wage inequalities among domestic workers in early modern Poltava (present day Ukraine), which was an important military-administrative of a Cossack Hetmanate, which was an autonomy within the Russian Empire. The data are derived from Rumyantsev census conducted between 1765 and 1769 (N = 1,109). While previous studies often measured domestic workers’ wages indirectly, this historical source contains direct information on their wages in rubles per year. The data suggest that age and social status shaped wages of domestic workers in early modern Ukraine. After the age of 29, wages of all domestic workers stagnated and after 40 wages declined significantly. However, male domestic workers of Cossack origin had higher wages when compared to peasantry, while median wages of married women were similar to that of peasant men, and young girls received higher wages than young boys. These findings open a room for a debate about economic power of male and female workers in early modern Ukraine on the dawn of the Russian Empire centralization.
本文研究了近代早期波尔塔瓦(今乌克兰)家政工人的工资不平等现象,波尔塔瓦是哥萨克帝国的一个重要军事行政区域,是俄罗斯帝国的一个自治地区。数据来源于1765年至1769年间进行的鲁缅采夫人口普查(N = 1109)。虽然以前的研究经常间接衡量家政工人的工资,但这一历史来源包含了以卢布计算的每年工资的直接信息。数据表明,年龄和社会地位影响了近代早期乌克兰家政工人的工资。29岁以后,所有家政工人的工资都停滞不前,40岁以后,工资明显下降。然而,哥萨克裔男性家庭佣工的工资高于农民,而已婚妇女的工资中位数与农民男性相似,年轻女孩的工资高于年轻男孩。这些发现为关于俄罗斯帝国中央集权初期现代乌克兰男性和女性工人的经济实力的辩论打开了一个空间。

The Social Structure of the Real Estate Market in Old Warsaw in the Years 1427–1527 1427-1527年老华沙房地产市场的社会结构

ABSTRACT The article examines the operations of the property market in late medieval Old Warsaw during a period of economic expansion. Two major professional groups (merchants and craftsmen) are distinguished to indicate fundamental differences in their interest in the property market. While craftsmen accumulated goods, merchants sought profit in a quick resale. In addition, the consideration of separate groups such as nobility, clergy, peasants, and Jews, and the analysis of the size of the urban market revealed that the property market in Old Warsaw was dominated by burgesses. The comparison of the number of transactions with the number of newcomers granted citizenship revealed a fact overlooked in the literature, i.e. that the vast majority of migrants had a low economic status and could not afford to purchase their own property just after arriving in the town. This suggests that the rental market played an important role in providing accommodation for newcomers. The analysis also shows the steady and dynamic development of the property market in the fifteenth and early sixteenth centuries. This evidence conflicts with suggestions of an economic crisis affecting late medieval Polish towns, at least for Old Warsaw.
本文考察了中世纪晚期老华沙在经济扩张时期的房地产市场运作。区分了两个主要的专业群体(商人和工匠),以表明他们对房地产市场的兴趣存在根本差异。在工匠积累商品的同时,商人在快速转售中寻求利润。此外,考虑到贵族、神职人员、农民和犹太人等不同群体,以及对城市市场规模的分析,发现旧华沙的房地产市场以burgesses为主。将交易数量与获得公民身份的新移民数量进行比较,揭示了文献中忽视的一个事实,即绝大多数移民的经济地位很低,刚到城镇就买不起自己的房产。这表明,租赁市场在为新移民提供住宿方面发挥了重要作用。分析还显示了15世纪和16世纪初房地产市场的稳定和动态发展。这一证据与经济危机影响中世纪晚期波兰城镇的说法相矛盾,至少对老华沙来说是这样。

Technology and scale changes: The steel industry of a planned economy in a comparative perspective 技术与规模变迁:计划经济下钢铁工业的比较研究

ABSTRACT This paper provides an analysis of the role of technical advances and upscaling practices in the steel sector and the differences in these practices between planned and market-based economies. It focuses on the Czechoslovak steel sector, comparing it to other planned economies as well as Western economies. The primary method of analysis employed is the logistic-fit curve of technology diffusion, complemented with panel regression models. The paper draws two major conclusions: first, Czechoslovakia suffered from technological backwardness in the adoption of new steel technology with prolonged formation stage and high saturation levels as seen in some of the core steel markets. To some degree, this was due to the detrimental nature of central planning on new technology adoption. However, it was mainly linked to some specific characteristics of Eastern European markets, such as availability of scrap, the vintage of individual plants and the different structure of steelmaking costs. Second, the focus on Soviet-style large scale production was visible not only at the industry level but also at the level of the individual furnaces. It was this large-scale production that can be linked to improvements in relative energy efficiency – through economies of scale and learning-by-doing effects.
摘要本文分析了技术进步和升级实践在钢铁行业的作用,以及计划经济体和市场经济体在这些实践中的差异。它将重点放在捷克斯洛伐克的钢铁行业,并将其与其他计划经济体以及西方经济体进行比较。采用的主要分析方法是技术扩散的逻辑拟合曲线,并辅以面板回归模型。本文得出两个主要结论:首先,捷克斯洛伐克在采用新钢铁技术方面存在技术落后的问题,一些核心钢铁市场的形成阶段较长,饱和水平较高。在某种程度上,这是由于中央计划对新技术采用的不利性质。然而,这主要与东欧市场的一些特定特征有关,如废料的可用性、个别工厂的年份以及炼钢成本的不同结构。其次,对苏联式大规模生产的关注不仅在工业层面上可见,而且在单个熔炉的层面上也可见。正是这种大规模生产可以通过规模经济和边做边学效应与相对能源效率的提高联系起来。

African socialism; or, the search for an indigenous model of economic development? 非洲社会主义;还是寻求一种本土的经济发展模式?

ABSTRACT Ralph Austen in African Economic History (1987) noted how few African countries explicitly choose capitalism on independence, and for those who did it was a default model or a residual pattern. ‘African socialism’ was popular in the early decades of independence and pursued by several countries, including Ghana, Guinea, Senegal and Tanzania, the cases considered in this paper. The term had multiple meanings, and its advocates were quick to stress that they were not communist, and some said they were not even Marxist. This paper explores the argument that African socialism was a search for an indigenous model of economic development for a generation that was justifiably ambivalent about capitalism, but wary of being put in the communist camp in the Cold War era. Importantly, advocates of African socialism often proposed bold and transformative visions for their countries. These visions might be worth revisiting, devoid of the paradigm of socialism.
Ralph Austen在《非洲经济史》(1987)一书中指出,很少有非洲国家在独立时明确选择资本主义,而对于那些选择资本主义的国家来说,这是一种默认模式或残余模式“非洲社会主义”在独立的最初几十年很流行,并被包括加纳、几内亚、塞内加尔和坦桑尼亚在内的几个国家所追求。这个词有多种含义,其拥护者很快强调他们不是共产主义者,有些人甚至说他们不是马克思主义者。本文探讨了这样一种论点,即非洲社会主义是在一代人的时间里寻找一种本土的经济发展模式,这一代人对资本主义有着合理的矛盾心理,但对冷战时期被纳入共产主义阵营持谨慎态度。重要的是,非洲社会主义的倡导者经常为他们的国家提出大胆和变革的愿景。这些愿景可能值得重新审视,没有社会主义的范式。

The term had multiple meanings, and its advocates were quick to stress that they were not communist, and some said they were not even Marxist. This paper explores the argument that African socialism was a search for an indigenous model of economic development for a generation that was justifiably ambivalent about capitalism, but wary of being put in the communist camp in the Cold War era. Importantly, advocates of African socialism often proposed bold and transformative visions for their countries. These visions might be worth revisiting, devoid of the paradigm of socialism.","PeriodicalId":54115,"journal":{"name":"Economic History of Developing Regions","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2018-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/20780389.2018.1434411","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43404503","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

ABSTRACT This paper examines the impact of Singapore’s rise as a staple port on the city’s real wages and living standards during the late nineteenth and early twentieth century, when this British colony acted as the heartland to surrounding hinterlands. Based on an analysis of newly reconstructed nominal wage and price time series, it is shown that real wages in Singapore fluctuated substantially over this period, rising and falling with the port’s staple trade in tin and rubber. As the city transformed itself into a commercial and financial hub during the interwar period, however, Singapore’s real wages rose, though this was accompanied by a widening skill premium. Compared to its peers in Asia, the city appears to have enjoyed a relatively higher average living standard before 1900, and possibly by the late 1930s as well.
本文考察了新加坡在19世纪末和20世纪初作为主要港口崛起对城市实际工资和生活水平的影响,当时这个英国殖民地充当了周边腹地的中心地带。根据对新重建的名义工资和价格时间序列的分析,新加坡的实际工资在此期间波动很大,随着港口主要贸易锡和橡胶的上升和下降。然而,随着这座城市在两次世界大战之间转型为商业和金融中心,新加坡的实际工资水平上升了,尽管这伴随着技能溢价的扩大。与亚洲其他城市相比,香港在1900年之前的平均生活水平似乎相对较高,可能到20世纪30年代末也是如此。
