Quantitative Agricultural History: institutions, markets and natural resources

Eva Fernández (Universidad Carlos III de Madrid, España); Miguel Martín-Retortillo (Universidad de Alcalá, España); Ana Serrano (Universidad de Zaragoza, España)

The studies on quantitative agricultural history are becoming increasingly important. Many of these works deal with relevant themes on rural history, such as the impact of natural endowments and institutions in agricultural growth, the factors explaining productivity growth and agricultural development, the determinants of agricultural and food products trade, the spatial distribution of agricultural production and its consequences, the intensification in the use of inputs, the impact of economic activity on natural resources and the effects of agricultural policies.
This session means to be a forum for the discussion of works in all the fields of quantitative agricultural history. It mainly has two objectives. First, it aims to inform about the novel quantitative tools used in agricultural history. Thus, the audience will improve the knowledge of new analytical and methodological frameworks. Second, the session will advance in the assessment of the historical interrelations between agricultural outcomes and their main determinants from different fields. A detailed analysis of these dependencies will improve the interaction among the different branches in rural history, making joint progress in the understanding of agrarian systems, the historical context and the use of quantitative approaches.
