Colonial agricultural estates and rural development in twentieth-century Mexico
This study documents that municipalities in central Mexico closer in the past to an agricultural estate (hacienda) are associated with higher literacy and lower poverty throughout the twentieth century than municipalities similar in other respects but farther from a hacienda. The results are robust to various specifications, neighbour matching analyses, and a placebo-type test. The complementarities between late-colonial haciendas in central Mexi…
The Legacy of Civil War Dynamics
This article studies the legacy of local dynamics of the War of Independence in local state building in Mexico. The analysis shows that municipalities where local militias were organized have a higher number of public servants and a larger budget per capita in the early 1900s than municipalities with an insurgent legacy, relative to those with no conflict. The results hold when restricting the sample to neighbors and controlling for geographic an…
Legados de la guerra de Independencia y la Revolución sobre la violencia criminal en México
Este trabajo se enfoca en las conexiones históricas de la violencia criminal contemporánea en México. Investiga si la guerra de independencia y la revolución muestran alguna línea de continuidad con la actual oleada de violencia criminal. Encontramos que la violencia criminal se concentra principalmente en municipios que tuvieron presencia rebelde durante el periodo revolucionario. Además, los municipios en los que se crearon milicias realistas d…
Indigenous Origins of Colonial Institutions
What are the origins of colonial forced labor? While extensive research investigates the effects of colonial forced labor on contemporary political and economic development, little is known about the origins of colonial forced labor. Based on historical accounts, we offer a simple formal model that emphasizes constraints facing profit-maximizing colonists. The model provides a novel explanation for colonial forced labor by demonstrating that loca…
Building Fiscal Capacity in Colonial Mexico
The success of fiscal centralization and military buildup in colonial Mexico contrasts with failed similar attempts elsewhere. Why did powerful elites comply with fiscal-military reforms in eighteenth-century Mexico? I argue that the Seven Years' War provided incentives for the Crown to centralize and elites to comply by accentuating the free rider problems inherent in the provision of military defense under fiscal fragmentation. Fiscal data and …
