摘要

在经济文献中,使用身高数据来衡量生活水平是一种行之有效的方法。虽然人们对19世纪黑人的法律和物质条件了解很多,但对19世纪的生物条件如何与自然环境和制度变化联系在一起却知之甚少。尽管现代黑人和白人在相似的生理条件下成熟时达到相似的最终身高,但19世纪南部各州的非裔美国人的身高始终比白人矮,这表明19世纪的一种独特现象可能影响了黑人的身高增长。地理位置和阳光直射(日晒)是19世纪黑人和白人身材的显著特征,这里记录的日晒越多,黑人和白人身材就越高。

Geography, Insolation and Institutional Change in 19th Century African-American and White Stature in Southern States
The use of height data to measure living standards is now a well-established method in the economic literature. While much is known about 19th century black legal and material conditions, less is known about how 19th century biological conditions were related to the physical environment and institutional change. Although modern blacks and whites reach similar terminal statures when brought to maturity under similar biological conditions, 19th century African-American statures in Southern states were consistently shorter than whites, indicating a uniquely 19th century phenomenon may have influenced black stature growth. It is geography and direct sunlight (insolation) that present a striking attribute of 19th century black and white statures, and greater insolation is documented here to be associated with taller black and white statures.
