Fortgeschrittene Quantitative Wirtschaftsgeschichte: Geography vs. institutions as drivers of long-term economic development SoSe 2024, Ulrich Pfister

Spatial patterns of economic growth are characterized by long-term persistence, suggesting that they are shaped by fundamental forces operating in the past. The seminar gives an introduction to the literatures on the economic effects of the emergence of modern political regimes and colonialism as well as on the interplay between physical and economic geography. Students will acquire the ability to read and discuss empirical studies related to long-term characteristics of economic growth.
