This paper investigates the evolution of gender equality in Sweden during a phase characterized by industrialization, urbanization, and demographic transition. To this end, we build a database with quantitative indicators to construct a spatial Historical Gender Gap Index. We find that after a period of stagnation, Sweden made significant progress in closing the gender gap from the 1940s onward to reach the high level of gender equality that it i…
Can the historical gender gap index deepen our understanding of economic development
Knowledge of the long relationship between gender equality and economic growth is hampered by the lack of information and resources on the various dimensions of gender equality.

Exploiting a unique census-based dataset of 86 French counties in the mid-nineteenth century, I construct a historical g…

Une lecture cliométrique du développement de l’instruction primaire en France au XIXe siècle
L’objectif de cet article est d’étudier les liens entre le financement de l’instruction primaire, la scolarisation et la croissance économique en France au XIXe siècle.

Pour mener notre analyse, nous procédons en deux étapes. Tout d’abord, nous analysons l’évolution des différents types d…
