Occupational, Marital, and Life-Cycle Determinants of Women's Labor Force Participation in Mid Nineteenth-Century Rural France
The French population census of 1851 is unique among France's nineteenth- and early twentieth-century censuses, as it is the only census to provide information on the market-oriented work of women and children within and outside the home. This study utilizes that information to analyze the demographic, structural, and economic determinants of women's labor force participation in a sample of rural communes in northern France. The data reveal an in…

La faucille et la faux
Les céréales cultivées ont tiré certaines de leurs caractéristiques de la façon dont elles étaient récoltées lors de leur domestication - à la faucille pour le blé, à la faux pour l'avoine. Comme le choix de la faucille allait de pair avec celui de grains dont l'attache à la tige était plus fragile, les cultivateurs n'ont ensuite pu moissonner le blé qu'à la faucille. La faux, plus rapide, aurait provoqué trop de pertes et n'était donc utilisée q…
Espaces Privilégiés Productivité agraire et zones d'approvisionnement des villes dans l'Europe préindustrielle
Aussi longtemps que la productivité agricole est restée basse et le coût du transport élevé, la plupart des gens ont dû vivre et travailler à la campagne. En conséquence, la dispersion de la population a été une caractéristique forte de l'économie préindustrielle. Ce n'est pas avant la seconde moitié du 19esiècle, quand la forte baisse du coût des transports et des communications a permis la formation de ceintures agricoles spécialisées et la loc…

Agricultural Supply During the Industrial Revolution
Analysis of the spatial pattern of prices and output in the manuscript returns of the French agricultural census of 1852 indicates that the availability of market outlets was probably the dominant factor determining the rise in agricultural productivity prior to the mid-nineteenth century and that agricultural supply was probably price elastic. The belief that the period of the industrial revolution was one of inelastic agricultural supply is sho…

The Persistence of Open-Field Farming in Nineteenth-Century France
The enclosure of the open fields is an example of Europeans' willingness to alter long-standing social and economic institutions in the interest of higher living standards. In Scandinavia, England, and Germany the rise in the value of enclosed relative to unenclosed land induced widespread abandonment of open-field forms of agrarian organization by the middle of the nineteenth century. In France, on the other hand, the traditional patterns of lan…

The Diffusion of the New Husbandry in Northern France, 1815–1840
This article deals with agricultural innovation in early nineteenth-century France. The core of the argument advanced is that the diffusion of the new intensive mixed husbandry in northern France was delayed by the slow growth in demand for meat and dairy products before 1840, which reduced the advantages to be gained from adopting forage-intensive crop rotations. Because the climate of southern France precluded large-scale adoption of the northe…
