Income Differentials and Migrations

R. Cortés Conde

Chapter 6 in Economics in the Long View, 1982, pp 132-148 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Those who distrust historical statistics are right in doing so, but they would be wrong in rejecting them. In fact, any understanding of statistical information is founded on distrust, and the classical problem of statistics is that of making valid inferences from observations that are known to be poor. To abandon the scraps of quantitative insight into the past merely on the grounds of general suspicion would be as foolish as to regard them as wholly accurate.1
