New Evidence on the Standard of Living in Sweden during the Eighteenth and Nineteenth Centuries : Long-Term Development of the Demographic Response to Short-Term Economic Stress

Författare

Summary, in English

Presents a new view of the standard of living development in Sweden during the agricultural revolution, using evidence on the ability to overcome short-term economic stress. The results corroborate previous findings, based on a variety of indicators, that standard of living in Sweden increased for most people after the mid-nineteenth century, but also support a more negative view of the immediate effects of the agricultural transformation in the beginning of the nineteenth century on the landless groups in society.
