Temporal and spatial distribution of spending in the city using bank cards transactions
Despite the economic, social, and symbolic importance of urban consumption, its study has been constrained by the lack of sources with sufficient spatial and temporal resolution until the emergence of new Big Data sources. Based on data from bank card transactions, this study examines the temporal, spatial, and spatiotemporal distribution of consumption in the city of Madrid, according to consumer type and commercial sector. Likewise, through the…
Intra-urban consumption flows and sociospatial disparities
This study analyses intra-urban consumption flows in Madrid through a spatial analysis using over 689 million anonymized bank card transactions recorded in 2023. By disaggregating data by age and income groups, the research uncovers significant variations in consumer mobility patterns and spatial preferences. Older adults and high-income groups exhibit more localized consumption behaviors, while middle-income groups demonstrate wider mobility acr…
Individual-Level Data on Causes of Death in Madrid From 1905 to 1927
In this article, we present the Madrid database on causes of death, which currently covers the entire city for the period 1905–1927 and includes 366,542 individual notices. Such a resource is unique in the Mediterranean context. The genesis of our data lies in a political and intellectual context dominated by a complex mixture of fears, class contempt, and sincere concern for the most vulnerable, especially children, which explain the development…
El campo de atracción de migrantes de Madrid en 1905
This article examines the advantages and limitations of an old method that is enjoying a new lease of life: migratory field analysis, which differs from the classic study of the migrant recruitment area by taking into account the population at the origin of migration and examining the relationships between migratory intensity and place of destination. This approach is applied to two Madrid districts in 1905. In conclusion, we advocate dialogue ra…
Maternal mortality, tuberculosis and social deprivation in Madrid during the second and third decades of the 20th century
In this paper we jointly study maternal mortality and tuberculosis during the second and third decades of the 20th century in Madrid. Nicknamed the "city of death", the Spanish capital was marked by a high mortality where tuberculosis accounted for approximately 26/28 % of all deaths of women of reproductive age. Using a large longitudinal individual-level database including causes of death, we discuss the definitions of maternal mortality, then …
Consumption after dark exploring spatio-temporal patterns of spending in the night-time economy
The concept of the night-time economy has gained attention in recent years as cities around the world recognize the potential of night-time activities. Most research on the night-time economy adopts a social perspective, without examining this topic from an economic approach, probably because official statistics do not provide suitable information for this purpose. The availability of data on bank card transactions opens new avenues in the study …
Did the 1917–21 economic depression accelerate the epidemiological transition? Milk prices, summer peak of mortality, and food-and-water causes of death in Madrid, Spain
This article aims to answer a provocative question: would higher prices, particularly that of milk, be beneficial for the survival of children under 2 years old? Using a database of more than 230,000 births, matched to deaths, we test this hypothesis in the context of a large Mediterranean city, Madrid, in the years 1915–1926. During this period an inflationary crisis spread from 1917 to 1921. We compare child survival, the impact of milk price f…
Influence of Place of Birth on Adult Mortality
We use a unique data set from Spain and we estimate life expectancy at age 50 for males and females by place of residence and place of birth. We show that, consistent with expectations regarding the influence of early conditions on adult health and mortality, the effects of place of birth on adult mortality are very strong, irrespective of place of residence. Furthermore, we find that mortality levels observed in a place are strongly influenced b…
Immigration, Poverty, and Infant and Child Mortality in the City of Madrid, 1916–1926
In this paper, we study differential infant and child mortality according to the origin of the mothers, natives of Madrid or immigrants, between 1916 and 1926. From 1880 to 1939, Madrid experienced spectacular demographic growth, with a massive influx of immigrants, mainly from the Castilian Plateau. Using the city’s records of births and deaths, which we linked for the study period, we demonstrate an important spatial heterogeneity in infant and…
Urban environment and mortality differentials in Spain
Analyses of health and mortality disparities between today's urban and rural populations appear to be exclusively focused on vastly urbanising countries. By incorporating environmental data at census tract level and accounting for within‐area homogeneity, this work attempts to extend classic rural–urban comparisons. Geographical information is linked to a register‐based mortality follow up and Spanish census data for the autonomous community of A…
New Approaches to Death in Cities During the Health Transition
Infant and child mortality in the past
Le très grand nombre de publications sur les mortalités infantile et enfantine démontre l’intérêt constant pour ce thème au sein de la démographie historique. Pour cette raison, un passage en revue de la littérature scientifique parue depuis la naissance de la Société de Démographie Historique il y a cinquante ans est mission impossible. Après un rappel des origines des études sur cette thématique, cet article concentre donc son propos sur deux a…

The Heat-Wave of 1911. A Largely Ignored Trend Reversal in the Italian and Spanish Transition
Les publications de météorologie et les articles de journaux de l’époque décrivent la chaleur exceptionnelle qui caractérise l’été 1911, non seulement dans de nombreux pays européens mais aussi dans des pays non européens. Afin de comprendre si l’été 1911 pouvait être également considéré comme « anormal » en Italie et en Espagne, pays où les étés chauds sont une caractéristique normale, nous avons procédé à une analyse de la mortalité saisonnière…
Structural changes in childhood mortality in Spain, 1860-1990
The special characteristics of mortality in Spain in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, particularly with respect to the high levels of childhood mortality, led us to attempt to decipher the internal structures of this phenomenon. This study focuses on the role of early childhood mortality (ECMR, 4q1) and infant mortality (q0), with particular reference to the former, as essential variables in explaining the decline of mortality in Spa…
Childhood mortality in Central Spain, 1790–1960
The struggle against death is one of the main themes in human history. Mortality as it declined in recent times, became a central factor behind population growth. In this context, childhood mortality was the key, not only because deaths at these young ages often constituted more than half of all deaths, but also because any decrease in it brought about fundamental changes in the age structure and the size of the population and in fertility
