The cost of housing in the very long run
We construct one of the longest continuous rent series for the pre-modern world, tracing Toledo’s housing market from 1489 to 1810. Using the Cathedral’s portfolio, we merge a hedonic microdataset (1489–1650) with a decadal census of leases (1650–1810), yielding over 34,000 transactions and coverage of up to 35% of dwellings in the city per sampled year. Privileged groups drove a bubble-like surge in rents during the sixteenth-century silver boom…
The bread of Toledo
We study the market for common white bread in the city of Toledo through a new 266‐year‐long series of bread prices, obtained from the cash purchases and wholesale bread‐for‐wheat contracts of large institutions. Our data are strongly consistent with fragmentary evidence on retail price regulation, as well as with shorter series from other regional markets, suggesting they can be considered representative of consumer bread costs for a broad area …
The Gender Wage Gap in Early Modern Toledo, 1550-1650
We exploit the records of a large Toledan hospital to study the compensation of female labor and the gender wage gap in early modern Castile in the context of nursing-a non-gendered, low-skill occupation in which men and women performed the same clearly defined tasks. We employ a robust methodology to estimate the value of in-kind compensation, and show it to constitute a central part of the labor contract, far exceeding subsistence requirements.…
Los caminos de la repoblación segoviana en la Transierra entre los siglos XIII y XV. El privilegio de las alberguerías de 1273
Los resultados de este estudio revelan la importancia de las ventas o alberguerías en la Repoblación segoviana al sur de la sierra de Guadarrama durante los siglos XIII-XV. La documentación archivística, que nos ha permitido identificar más de un 70 por ciento de estos establecimientos camineros, describe el trazado de varias vías antiguas de comunicación entre Segovia y sus extremos del Reino de Toledo. Las alberguerías segovianas se convertiría…
Prices in Toledo (Spain)
Differences in material conditions are a determinant that explains the little divergence between northwestern and southern Europe. This article approaches the evolution of prices in early modern Toledo (Spain). The price index includes new items such as housing and employs different baskets over time, reflecting changes in consumption patterns. During the city’s golden age, prices grew faster than in London, Paris, or Amsterdam. Wine, urban rent,…
