The paper, which focuses on 19th century estimates, proposes a set of "rules" or a broadly common methodology to enable better comparability of the results. Read the paper by @brankomilan.bsky.social, @philerfurth.bsky.social, @mgzl.bsky.social, & @ggabbuti.bsky.social.

After 10 years of doing research in Historical Political Economy, this fall I’ll finally get a chance to teach a survey course on the field & I’m really looking forward to it! 😊

I thought this would be an opportunity to create a syllabus with many essential contributions to this growing field.
