Overpopulation and malnutrition rediscovered: Hard times in 19th-century Sweden
Heights and economic history: The Swedish case
Measurements of Swedish soldiers were recorded in muster rolls as early as the 1760s. Results of a sample of these measurements over the period up to 1880 are used as an index of living standards in comparison with perceptions formed from other sources. The most striking contrast concerns the period of the mid-nineteenth century. Among economic historians, those who hold the optimistic view that living standards continuously improved during the m…

The Case of the Impoverished Sophisticate: Human Capital and Swedish Economic Growth before World War I
Around 1850 Sweden had a stock of human capital wildly disproportionate to its very low income level. This situation contributed significantly to the speed of the growth spurt that occurred between that time and World War I. In the short run, this large human capital stock allowed Sweden to take fuller advantage of the new opportunities for exports which appeared around 1860. In the longer run Sweden benefited because it is easier to achieve a ra…
Banking and Economic Growth in Sweden before World War I
The article sketches the history of Swedish commercial banking from 1656 until World War I, with special attention to the post-1850 period. Emphasis is placed on the relationships between economic growth and banking. International comparisons based on the quantitative measures developed by Rondo Cameron and Raymond Goldsmith are made. It is concluded that at all stages of its early industrialization Sweden had a remarkably large and efficient ban…

Movements in the Quality of British Cotton Textile Exports, 1815–1913
The purpose of this article is to investigate trends in the quality of British cotton textile exports during the period 1815-1913. “Quality” is defined as real value per yard of cloth and pound of yarn exported. Thus, a reduction in export quality does not mean that a specific type of cloth has deteriorated. Rather, it means that there has been a shift from more expensive to less expensive types of cloth. It may also mean that the same type of cl…
The Draper Loom in New England Textiles: A Comment
The September 1966 issue of this Journal contains a study by Professor Irwin Feller on the rate of adoption of the Draper Automatic Loom in the New England cotton textile industry. I have no quarrel with his central conclusions concerning the economic rationality of the New England cotton manufacturers. I do, however, have some comments on his analysis of the relative costs of producing cloth on plain (power) as opposed to automatic looms

International Trade in Grains: Projections and United States Policy
T HE purpose of this paper is to use estimates of likely developments on the world grain market by 1970 and 1975 to reach sensible policy conclusions with regard to United States grain trade and aid. The estimating methods employed are simple and unsophisticated, largely because of the uncertain nature of the underlying data used. Projections of supply and demand as well as estimates of price elasticities are all subject to considerable error. Us…
