De mulher para mulher: Capelas e morgados de sucessão feminina nos territórios da coroa Portuguesa (sécs. XIV-XVII)
Este artigo explora um conjunto de fundações vinculares levadas a cabo em territórios da coroa portuguesa entre os séculos XIV e XVII, caraterizadas pela inversão dos princípios sucessórios mais comuns: ao invés de privilegiarem a sucessão por masculinidade e primogenitura, estas instituições preferiam explicitamente a sucessão feminina, transmitido o vínculo de mulher para mulher. A análise desta amostra é feita sob vários pontos de vista: a par…

Framing Kinship: The Case of Portuguese Entails (Morgadios and Capelas), 14th-17th Centuries
This article focuses on the kinship relationships framed by entails in Portugal, between the 14th and 17th centuries. Why did the founders decide to establish entails, and how did they think this solution would protect their kinship groups? What kind of organisation did they imagine and intend to implement for future relatives? How did they try to constrain the behaviour of their relatives and their relationships? Did entails shape a type of spec…
Dominance within the ecclesia: The case of late medieval Portugal
This article aims to demonstrate the effectiveness of a theoretical perspective. It argues that, in medieval society, the ecclesia, in its threefold sense (the community of the faithful, ecclesiastical hierarchies, and cult buildings) played a determinant role in organising different interlocked social relations. Thus, this role is critical to understanding the reproduction of dominant groups, whose organisation must be conceived through the eccl…
Aristocracia, parentesco e reprodução social em Portugal no final da Idade Média. Tese de doutoramento em História apresenta em regime de cotutela entre a Universidade do Porto e a Université Paris 1 …
O trabalho que aqui se apresenta teve como intuito perceber a articulação entre parentesco e reprodução social de um grupo dominante. Selecionámos um grupo constituído por sete linhagens aristocráticas de perfil curial e senhorial, caraterizadas pela presença na corte régia, pela detenção de títulos e de poder senhorial próprio e emanado da coroa. Seguimos os seus percursos entre o final do século XIV e as primeiras décadas do século XVI, procura…
Sucessão e herança: Transmissão e reprodução social da aristocracia portuguesa no final da Idade Média
Este artículo tiene como objetivo discenir los mecanismos de trasmisión del patrimonio de la aristocracia curial portuguesa al final de la Edad Media, intentando articularlos con la capacidad de reproducción social del grupo. Para ello, se propone el uso de dos categorías distintas. Por un lado, la sucesión, aplicada a un conjunto de bienes indivisibles; por otro lado, la herencia, sobre la cual se imponía un reparto igualitario entre los hereder…
Self-Fulfilling Debt Crises, Revisited
Lack of commitment at the time of auction to repayment of imminently maturing debt can generate a run on debt and immediate default. We show that the same lack of commitment leads to other possible self-fulfilling crises, including issuance of more debt at depressed prices, or a “sudden stop” (forced austerity) in which debt issuance is sharply curtailed. Both outcomes stem from the government's incentive to eliminate uncertainty about imminent p…

Leisure Luxuries and the Labor Supply of Young Men
We propose a methodology exploiting time diary data and “leisure Engel curves” to infer quality changes across leisure activities and measure the effects on the marginal return to leisure. We study leisure returns for men aged 21–30, who have shifted leisure toward video gaming and recreational computing and have had larger market work hour declines than older men or women since 2004. We show that recreational computing is distinctly a leisure lu…
A ‘honra’ de cavalaria e a aristocracia medieval portuguesa
Este artigo procura refl etir sobre a relação entre a aristocracia medieval portuguesa e a cavalaria, na sua dimensão plural de categoria social e de ideologia que viria a caraterizar os grupos dominantes na hierarquia social medieva. Interessa discutir a importância dos milites/cavaleiros quer na sociedade dos séculos XII e XIII, quer nos séculos XIV e XV, evidenciando, em ambos os períodos, a polissemia desse estatuto e relacionando-o simultane…
Has Consumption Inequality Mirrored Income Inequality?
We revisit to what extent the increase in income inequality since 1980 was mirrored by consumption inequality. We do so by constructing an alternative measure of consumption expenditure using a demand system to correct for systematic measurement error in the Consumer Expenditure Survey. Our estimation exploits the relative expenditure of high- and low-income households on luxuries versus necessities. This double differencing corrects for measurem…
Fazer cavaleiros»: As cerimónias de investidura cavaleiresca no Portugal medieval (séculos XII-XV)
Un caballero no nacía caballero: se hacía en uno. Por esa misma razón, la investidura o adubamento tomó desde muy pronto una importancia crucial. Este artigo pretende analizar esta ceremonia en dos puntos de vista. Empezaremos por tratar de entender los signifi cados que la misma ha asumido al largo del tiempo defi nido. En la segunda parte, se analiza el ritual, intentando describirlo y buscando comprender la simbología que le estaba asociada. P…
Time Use During the Great Recession
Using data from the American Time Use Survey between 2003 and 2010, we document that home production absorbs roughly 30 percent of foregone market work hours at business cycle frequencies. Leisure absorbs roughly 50 percent of foregone market work hours, with sleeping and television watching accounting for most of this increase. We document significant increases in time spent on shopping, child care, education, and health. Job search absorbs betw…
Deconstructing Life Cycle Expenditure
In this paper we revisit two well-known facts regarding lifecycle expenditures. The first is the familiar "hump" shaped lifecycle profile of nondurable expenditures. We document that the behavior of total nondurables masks surprising heterogeneity in the lifecycle profile of individual sub-components. We find, for example, that while food expenditures decline after middle age, expenditures on entertainment continue to increase throughout the life…

Measuring Trends in Leisure: The Allocation of Time Over Five Decades
In this paper, we use five decades of time-use surveys to document trends in the allocation of time within the United States. We find that a dramatic increase in leisure time lies behind the relatively stable number of market hours worked between 1965 and 2003. Specifically, using a variety of definitions for leisure, we show that leisure for men increased by roughly six to nine hours per week (driven by a decline in market work hours) and for wo…
Life-Cycle Prices and Production
We use scanner data and time diaries to document how households substitute time for money through shopping and home production. We document substantial heterogeneity in prices paid for identical goods for the same area and time, with older households shopping the most and paying the lowest prices. Doubling shopping frequency lowers a good's price by 7 to 10 percent. We estimate the shopper's price of time and use this series to estimate an elasti…
Emerging Market Business Cycles: The Cycle Is the Trend
Emerging market business cycles exhibit strongly countercyclical current accounts, consumption volatility that exceeds income volatility, and “sudden stops†in capital inflows. These features contrast with developed small open economies. Nevertheless, we show that a standard model characterizes both types of markets. Motivated by the frequent policy regime switches observed in emerging markets, our premise is that these economies are subject to su…
Fire-Sale Foreign Direct Investment and Liquidity Crises
In placing capital market imperfections at the center of emerging market crises, the theoretical literature has associated a liquidity crisis with low foreign investment and the exit of investors from the crisis economy. However, a liquidity crisis is equally consistent with an inflow of foreign capital in the form of mergers and acquisitions (M&A). To support this hypothesis, we use a firm-level data set to show that foreign acquisitions increas…
Investment, devaluation, and foreign currency exposure: The case of Mexico
Consumption versus Expenditure
Previous authors have documented a dramatic decline in food expenditures at the time of retirement. We show that this is matched by an equally dramatic rise in time spent shopping for and preparing meals. Using a novel data set that collects detailed food diaries for a large cross section of U.S. households, we show that neither the quality nor the quantity of food intake deteriorates with retirement status. We also show that unemployed household…
