- W2187284848 abstract "Demographic responses to economic hardship are important indicators of the robustness of a society, and the efficiency of its institutions. Considerable attention has been devoted to the impact of grain price fluctuations on mortality in preindustrial society. Often, prices are assumed to be a proxy for harvest outcome, and even though this might be a reasonable assumption at very high levels of aggregation it is clearly not as reasonable when looking at local communities. In this paper we study the mortality response to short-term fluctuations in local grain output, and focus special attention on the impact of harvest failures in different farming region using panel data for 274 localities in southern Sweden between 1750 and 1860. The outcomes are measured by the age-specific mortality rates, and local grain production is assessed using data from a recently assembled production database covering more than 2,000 farms (about 80,000 observations). The findings show a clear mortality response to harvest fluctuations in general, and to harvest failures in particular. The response differed greatly between different farming areas, being strongest in the areas most dependent on grain production. The response also diminished during the agricultural transformation, showing the increasing efficiency of the local economy. At the same time vulnerability to fluctuations in market prices remained high and was also quite similar across different farming regions. This shows that prices and output serve as independent indicators of the economic conditions that faced people in preindustrial society." @default.
