Manorial Efficiency in Domesday England

John McDonald

Journal of Productivity Analysis, 1997, vol. 8, issue 2, 199-213

Abstract: Domesday Book reports the results of a survey of most English manors in 1086. The survey was based on responses to questionnaires, which were then publicly verified in local courts, and contains information on manorial net incomes and resources. In the paper, mathematical programming frontier methods are used to investigate the production efficiency of Essex lay estates, discover which estates were efficient, which tenants-in-chief held efficient estates, and the factors associated with efficiency.
