Domestic markets and international integration
This article scrutinises the role of structural change and foreign trade in the Nordic countries, except Iceland, in industrialization prior to 1914. Sector contribution to GDP as well as the role of the foreign trade is compared across the countries. The comparison uncovers different paths to industrialization that cannot be explained by reference to received views, such as the shock of free trade or open economy forces. Denmark was not only ric…

Swedish Historical National Accounts, 1800–2000
A new set of data and estimates of historical national accounts for Sweden is concluded with the project Structural Change in the Swedish Economy, 1800-1980: Construction and Analysis of National Product Series. This article provides a short overview of earlier efforts, beginning in the 1930s, to construct historical national accounts and an account of the present project. The new estimates resulted in partly new representations of economic growt…
Technological Shifts and Convergence in a European Perspective since 1950
This is a discussion paper on some aspects of OECD and European growth and convergence from 1950 to the early 2000, with some perspectives also on the pre-First World War globalization era. The discussion will address the role of technological shifts (industrial revolutions) and the perspectives of traditional and
Regional wages in industry and labour market integration in Sweden, 1861–1913
This study examines the extent to which wages of industrial workers converged during the period of Sweden's industrial breakthrough, thereby relating to the international discussion on market integration. About 350 local wage series for nine regions in Sweden for the period 1861–1913 are used, deflated by regional cost-of-living indices. The main result is that there was a general wage convergence during the period of study. Wage differentials de…
Internal and external factors in Swedish industrialization
While external factors have been emphasized in »export models« or »globalization models« of Swedish industrialization, this article argues that internal factors were crucial for the Swedish integration into a global economy and in shaping the outcome of that process. From the point of view of a »domestic market model«, internal markets were of key importance in the diffusion of the new impacts and initiatives. In particular, the distribution of i…

Proto-industrialisation and factories
In analyses of the prerequisites of the industrial revolution in Europe, interest during recent times has centred to a large extent upon proto-industrialisation, or the period of industrial growth in agrarian society prior to the modern industrialisation of the nineteenth century. It has been claimed that the development of industry in agrarian society was significant because it created industrial employment, capitalistic social relationships wit…
