Jacob Weisdorf

A chapter in Handbook of Cliometrics, 2024, pp 589-610 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract This survey considers the use of church book data to investigate topics in economic history. It exploits the Malthusian population model to cast light on ongoing scholarly debates about the Little and Great Divergences and the rise of the wealth of nations, illustrating some key advantages (and drawbacks) to using church book registry in this context.
