Why Most European Wine comes from Companies with a Bad Reputation: Cooperative Wineries in Spain and Beyond
Cooperative wineries are one of the cornerstones of the wine industry in Europe today. To understand how they reached this condition, I use the case of Spain and pay special attention to the period in which they took off in the country, namely, during the Franco dictatorship (1939-75). Wine economists often believe that cooperatives produce mediocre wines because they cannot avoid the opportunistic behavior of their members. I argue that they can…
Cooperatives, opportunism and quality product: Why the early Spanish cooperative wineries produced ordinary wine
This is an Accepted Manuscript of an article published by Taylor & Francis in Business History on 12 Nov 2019, available online: https://doi.org/10.1080/00076791.2019.1685504
Inequality and conflict as drivers of cooperation: The location of wine cooperatives in pre-1936 Spain
Desigualdad social y toma de decisiones en los comunales: El gobierno del mayor canal de riego de España (la Acequia Real del Júcar, Valencia) en el siglo XIX
We analyse the management institutions of a community irrigation system in Mediterranean Spain, the Acequia Real (Royal Canal) of the Júcar river, where social inequality among irrigators was high. We look at the changes in the canal's institutions over time. There were two levels of government institutions. Only the elites could participate in the first one, that is, the government of the main canal. Although the local management bodies that gov…
Desnaturalizados rabassers? La rabassa morta catalana antes de la filoxera
La rabassa morta catalana fue uno de los muchos contratos de aparcería con indemnización por mejoras que se utilizaron en Europa antes de la Segunda Guerra Mundial para crear y cultivar viñedos. La visión predominante mantiene que su presencia tuvo fuertes repercusiones sobre el moderno desarrollo económico catalán y que ello fue compatible con el hecho de que, entre finales del siglo xviii y principios del siglo xx, los rabassers fuesen perdiend…
Sharecropping was sometimes efficient: Sharecropping with compensation for improvements in European viticulture
There is no consensus among specialists in agricultural contracts over whether the long‐term inefficiencies that classical economists attributed to sharecropping actually exist. This article maintains that they do exist and are partly caused by the fact that sharecropping is hardly compatible with the tenant being compensated for improvements, viticulture being the main historical exception. In line with recent contributions to the sharecropping …
Water Management, Spanish Irrigation Communities and Colonial Engineers
In the nineteenth century, Spanish irrigation was studied by a number of British and French engineers, who sought to acquire knowledge that could be applied to India and Algeria. In their reports, they said that Spanish irrigation communities were run by the irrigators themselves in a totally democratic way, which was not true. Although such ideas had hardly any practical consequences in colonial India and Algeria, they did have important repercu…
Governing scarcity. Water markets, equity and efficiency in pre-1950s eastern Spain
It is usually taken for granted that the existence of water markets allows economic efficiency gains to be achieved at the expense of equity losses. This paper addresses the issue by analysing the functioning of the irrigation communities in pre-1950s eastern Spain. While in some of them the water inhered in the land and could not be sold, in others there were tradable water rights. In the paper it is shown that, in the former, not only was equit…

Fixed-rent contracts and investment incentives. A comparative analysis of English tenant right
The price of improvements: Agrarian contracts and agrarian development in nineteenth-century eastern Spain1
Fixed-rent contracts do not free landlords from the need to supervise the land if it is of high value and fragile fertility, nor do they free them from the costs of monitoring farmers if they are poor peasants prone to fall into arrears. In such cases, however, compensation for improvements will encourage tenants to farm with care and act as a bond against non-payment of rent. This article studies the repercussions of these kinds of situations by…
Oranges or "Lemons"? Family Farming and Product Quality in the Spanish Orange Industry, 1870–1960
In the early twentieth century California became a big exporter of some agricultural products that, until then, had only been grown on a large scale in the Mediterranean basin. As a result, exports of those products diminished or stagnated in Mediterranean countries, with important repercussions on their economies. The Spanish orange industry, however, continued to expand, despite the fact that a substantial percentage of Spanish oranges came fro…

Why Did Most Cooperatives Fail? Spanish Agricultural Cooperation in the Early Twentieth Century
Cooperatives began contributing to the modernisation of European agriculture in the late nineteenth century but the rate at which they developed varied according to countries, regions, and crops. In Spain a large number were set up before the 1936−9 Civil War but few actually became consolidated entities. This paper analyses the Spanish case in an attempt to find the keys to the success or failure of cooperation. It focuses especially on the role…
El cooperativismo agrario español del primer tercio del siglo XX
Hacia 1900 comienza a configurarse en el campo español un movimiento cooperativo integrado por pequeños y medianos agricultores. Al riempo que se evalúa la importancia de la actividad económica que generó, en el artículo se analizan algunos de los obstáculos que impidieron que adquiriera mayor desarrollo. Se llega a la conclusión de que, pese a haber aparecido algunos núcleos de gran vitalidad cooperativa, el cooperativismo agrario español se car…
