Denmarkisation and agricultural growth in the Baltic countries during the interwar period
‘Denmarkisation’ was a policy intended for the economic modernisation of underdeveloped agrarian countries by emulating the success story of Denmark in 1870–1914. Denmark’s example attracted the newly established independent Baltic States of Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania (1918–1940) owing to their belonging to the same region as well as having similar sizes and natural endowments. In Lithuania, the most influential proponent of ‘Denmarkisation’ w…
Why did Lithuania’s economy grow during the great depression of the 1930s
Benchmarking Latvia’s economy: A new estimate of gross domestic product in the 1930s
Reinventing perished “Belgium of the East”: New estimates of GDP for inter-war Latvia (1920–1939)
Regional Gross Domestic Product (RGDP) Disparities in Interwar and Restored Independent Lithuania: A Long-Term Cross-Time Comparison
We provide a pioneering estimation of the regional Gross Domestic Product (rGDP) of the interwar Republic of Lithuania in 1923. This is the only year when a census of the interwar population was conducted, providing data necessary for the application of the Geary-Stark method of indirect estimation of regional output. We also measure productivity disparities across the regions in 1923 and 2001–2020 by Coefficient of Variation (CV), Mean Logarithm…
Demographic Continuity as a Necessary Condition of Performable Post-communist Token Social Restorations
We test the hypothesis that demographic continuity was a necessary condition of performable token post-communist social restorations. Demographic continuity means sufficient overlapping between populations of original and restored systems. Token social restoration refers to restorations where original and restored systems are identical. It is opposed to type restoration where original and restored systems are numerically different instances of th…
The Estonian antebellum paradox: A venture into the comparative anthropometric history of the Baltic countries in the early twentieth century
In this study, we examine the mismatch between the anthropometric and the economic measures of human wellbeing, a fact that has gone unnoticed in the international research on anthropometric history: by 1914, Estonian males were among the tallest in the world despite the country’s economic underdevelopment. We explain the anthropometric overperformance of Estonia considering the early start of the first demographic transition in relation to the s…
New estimation of the gross domestic product in Baltic countries in 1913–1938
From warfare to welfare states? Social and military spending in the Baltic States 1918–1940
This paper provides first broad cross-national quantitative comparison of social transfers and total social spending by the central government in Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania in 1930 and cross-time comparative case study of social and defense spending patterns of these three countries during the entire interwar independence period. To compensate for many gaps in the available historical statistics of national income, the ratio of social to milit…
Social Risks and Class in the Baltic States: Insights for Social Investment Strategy
The understanding of the distribution of social risks according to social classes can ensure more targeted social investment policies. This article aims to analyze the distribution of social risks according to the social classes in the three Baltic States of Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania. The micro data used in this analysis are collected from the European Union Statistics on Income and Living Conditions (EU-SILC) data base of 2015 covering the …
The population size of Lithuania (within contemporary borders) between 1897 and 1914
Historians and historical demographers strongly disagree about the size of the population of Lithuania within contemporary borders in 1914. According to Soviet era sources, it was 2,828,000, while contemporary publications provide a figure of 3,350,500. The main difficulty is incongruity between the limits of administrative units of the Russian empire and the eastern border of independent Lithuania and its many changes between 1918 and 1940. For …
Real Wages of Lithuanian Construction Workers from 1913 to 1939 (Measured in Subsistence and Welfare Ratios) in a Cross-National Comparison
This article provides two comparisons: (1) a cross-time comparison of real wages of skilled and unskilled workers in Kaunas before the First World War and during the interwar period; and (2) a cross-national quantitative comparison of the wages of unskilled workers in Kaunas and the capital cities of most European countries during the same period. For the second comparison, we use the findings of researchers who applied Robert C. Allen’s methodol…
