Breaking the misery wheel? Fertility control, social mobility, and biological well-being in rural Spain (1835–1959)
Fertility control strategies became widespread in rural Spain through the twentieth century: a significant number of parents decided to reduce their marital fertility once the advantages of control strategies became widely known. This paper explores the impact of those practices on children through a comparative study of the heights and occupations of grandparents, parents, and children. We analyze more than 1,200 individuals from three different…
Distance and durability’
This paper examines the evolution of agricultural trade patterns in Latin America through the lens of food regime (FR) analysis, focusing on the transition from the second FR (1947–1972) to the present. It explores the role of key commodities within the complexes that Friedmann used to define the second FR and their influence on shaping trade dynamics. The focus is on the growing internationalisation of the meat sector, alongside the rise in the …
Live fast, die young, leave a good-looking offspring
One of the most debated evolutionary theories is the trade-off between fertility and longevity. Specifically, women who experience more childbirths may have a shorter lifespan due to reduced opportunities for their bodies to recover from the associated costs. Previous studies have produced varied results, largely due to the challenge of distinguishing evolutionary factors from genetic and environmental influences in human societies. Since both lo…
Can food sovereignty be institutionalised? Insights from the Cuban experience
Cuba stands out among Latin American nations for its efforts to institutionalize food sovereignty (FS) through the promotion of alternative small-scale farming, making it a prime case study for this model. This paper examines the extent to which Cuba has institutionalized FS and the factors driving this process from an agrarian political economy perspective. Public policies, sustainable practices and key actors-including a 'partner state'-have ad…
Occupational mobility and biological well-being
This article analyses the effects of occupational mobility on biological well-being from a long-term perspective. While it is well known that occupation and heights were closely related in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, our analysis shows that variations in the occupational status of parents and social mobility relative to grandparents also help to explain the evolution of biological well-being in subsequent generations. Drawing on…
The agricultural productivity gap
Productivity in agriculture tends to grow slower than in other sectors. This is a stylized fact that has resulted in a persistent productivity gap, generalized over time and across countries. This paper explores the evolution of this gap from an international perspective, identifying patterns in both developed and developing countries. Empirical regularities are discussed in the light of a literature review on the causes of the gap and its socio-…
Twists and turns of land reform in Latin America
Land reform has significantly evolved over time in Latin America. In the early decades of the 20th century, the ‘agrarian question’ involved different national paths of agrarian capitalism and their contributions to industrialization. Later in the century, agriculture played a secondary role, while market‐led reforms were implemented from the early 1990s in the region. The agrarian question is now related to a new range of global and national ine…

Appendix to the article The determinants of world wheattrade, 1963-2010:A gravity equation approach (DOI 10.26882/histagrar.083e05g)
The determinants of world wheat trade, 1963-2010
The international configuration of the world wheat trade has undergone sig-nificant transformations over the past fifty years. The volume of total wheattrade has increased fivefold, new exporting leaders have appeared and a largeimport market has emerged in less developed countries. The aim of this paper is to iden-tify the main drivers of those changing patterns. For that purpose, we estimated a grav-ity equation based on data for bilateral trad…
Past and present land reform in Cuba (1959–2020)
Cuba is a paradigmatic case where the term and concept of the peasantry remains of lived importance. Cuban peasants had a significant role in the past as they did return to the political agenda after the Revolution with particular emphasis under Raul Castro’s administration. However, the Cuban case has not been significantly explored from a long-term perspective that connects the old debates and dimensions of land reforms under developmentalist s…
Did parental care in early life affect height? Evidence from rural Spain (19th-20th centuries)
This article examines the relationship between childhood mortality experienced within families and the height of surviving male children. Sibling mortality, controlled by different socioeconomic and environmental variables, is used as an approximation of the hygienic and epidemiological context and practices within the family. The analysis is based on a sample of 2783 individuals born between 1835 and 1977 in 14 villages in north-eastern Spain. T…
Patterns of world wheat trade, 1945-2010
Food regime analysis is concerned with interpreting possibilities and conflicts inherent to the 21st-century food system in historical terms. This paper summarizes the theoretical discussion of the food regime method, and of the identification of different "food regime periods" throughout modern history. While it is widely accepted that the so-called "second food regime" has already ended, there is much discussion on whether or not it is possible…
Tierra, trabajo y reforma agraria en la Segunda República española (1931-1936)
The brief existence of the Second Republic and its violent end tend to favor the usual negative view of land reform. This article analyzes the perceptions of inefficiency and contradictory effects of the twentieth-century agr icultural reform, in contrast with the thesis of an active and extremely efficient market following the liberal refor ms of the nineteenth century. The second part of the paper focuses on recent historiographical research th…
Los determinantes económicos de la delincuencia
En este artículo se analiza el fenómeno de la delincuencia en Santiago de Chile a lo largo de la última década. En primer lugar, se realiza un análisis descriptivo –composición y tendencias en el nivel de criminalidad, percepción social de la delincuencia y situación de Chile en el mundo– y, a continuación, se efectúa un análisis empírico en el que las categorías de homicidio y robo con fuerza son explicadas a partir de una batería de variables s…
