We use a micro-demographic database for an Italian city (Carmagnola) during the 1630 plague to explore in detail the survival dynamics of the population admitted to the isolation hospital (lazzaretto). We develop a theoretical model of admissions to the lazzaretto, for better interpretation of the observational data. We explore how age and sex shaped the individual risk of death, and we provide a one-of-a-kind study of the impact of socioeconomic status. We report an inversion of the normal mortality gradient by status for those interned at the lazzaretto. The rich enjoyed a greater ability to make decisions about their hospitalization, but this backfired. Instead, the poor sent to the lazzaretto faced a relatively low risk of death because they enjoyed better conditions than they would have experienced outside the hospital.</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--actions"><span class="work-strip-bookmark-button-container"></span><a id="3679486ae27effb7a0389f31553260f5" class="wp-workCard--action" rel="nofollow" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-download" data-download="{"attachment_id":112356113,"asset_id":116145369,"asset_type":"Work","button_location":"profile"}" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/112356113/download_file?st=MTczMjUwNTgzOSw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&s=profile"><span><i class="fa fa-arrow-down"></i></span><span>Download</span></a><span class="wp-workCard--action visible-if-viewed-by-owner inline-block" style="display: none;"><span class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper" data-work-id="116145369"><a class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button" tabindex="0"><span><i class="fa fa-pencil"></i></span><span>Edit</span></a></span></span><span id="work-strip-rankings-button-container"></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--stats"><span><span><span class="js-view-count view-count u-mr2x" data-work-id="116145369"><i class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin"></i></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 116145369; window.Academia.workViewCountsFetcher.queue(workId, function (count) { var description = window.$h.commaizeInt(count) + " " + window.$h.pluralize(count, 'View'); $(".js-view-count[data-work-id=116145369]").text(description); $(".js-view-count[data-work-id=116145369]").attr('title', description).tooltip(); }); });</script></span></span><span><span class="percentile-widget hidden"><span class="u-mr2x work-percentile"></span></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 116145369; window.Academia.workPercentilesFetcher.queue(workId, function (percentileText) { var container = $(".js-work-strip[data-work-id='116145369']"); container.find('.work-percentile').text(percentileText.charAt(0).toUpperCase() + percentileText.slice(1)); container.find('.percentile-widget').show(); container.find('.percentile-widget').removeClass('hidden'); }); });</script></span><span><script>$(function() { new Works.PaperRankView({ workId: 116145369, container: "", }); });</script></span></div><div id="work-strip-premium-row-container"></div></div></div><script> require.config({ waitSeconds: 90 })(["https://a.academia-assets.com/assets/wow_profile-f77ea15d77ce96025a6048a514272ad8becbad23c641fc2b3bd6e24ca6ff1932.js","https://a.academia-assets.com/assets/work_edit-ad038b8c047c1a8d4fa01b402d530ff93c45fee2137a149a4a5398bc8ad67560.js"], function() { // from javascript_helper.rb var dispatcherData = {} if (true){ window.WowProfile.dispatcher = window.WowProfile.dispatcher || _.clone(Backbone.Events); dispatcherData = { dispatcher: window.WowProfile.dispatcher, downloadLinkId: "3679486ae27effb7a0389f31553260f5" } } $('.js-work-strip[data-work-id=116145369]').each(function() { if (!$(this).data('initialized')) { new WowProfile.WorkStripView({ el: this, workJSON: {"id":116145369,"title":"Pandemics and socio-economic status.

It discusses recent encompassing hypotheses about the factors leading to long-run inequality change, highlighting their relative merits and faults, and arguing for the need to pay close attention to the historical context.","internal_url":"https://www.academia.edu/116145224/Inequality_in_history_A_long_run_view","translated_internal_url":"","created_at":"2024-03-12T11:19:27.317-07:00","preview_url":null,"current_user_can_edit":null,"current_user_is_owner":null,"owner_id":32570513,"coauthors_can_edit":true,"document_type":"paper","co_author_tags":[],"downloadable_attachments":[{"id":112356001,"title":"","file_type":"pdf","scribd_thumbnail_url":"https://attachments.academia-assets.com/112356001/thumbnails/1.jpg","file_name":"Alfani_JOES_Inequality_in_history_A_long_run_view.pdf","download_url":"https://www.academia.edu/attachments/112356001/download_file?st=MTczMjUwNTgzOSw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&","bulk_download_file_name":"Inequality_in_history_A_long_run_view.pdf","bulk_download_url":"https://d1wqtxts1xzle7.cloudfront.net/112356001/Alfani_JOES_Inequality_in_history_A_long_run_view-libre.pdf?1710268233=\u0026response-content-disposition=attachment%3B+filename%3DInequality_in_history_A_long_run_view.pdf\u0026Expires=1732509439\u0026Signature=Hy-LSMHKqCMxIIYYTmGrDK7UKaJRJ1qILq~ErE0aA4UsvZEXgyH4m~q5-4yhKIV12BJsREQd9qDJ2pKp4IsJwYvCsGRnd~xAbHrXOyzbEVjQumlEAsg8-X1nwkCe7weIQeEi~rRhSfY78iocS3Xd7efO8-7gDITB1kAXAfclZV~ssgbFYI0jphSkuo-WbVkuWvpVfKRWAlurPaYerS4l9MlVsooJJtA~l6-g4OnyrNW4rv~DtnXFexun-8-Mr6XCjlERMgKw3yMeW-onWAy7lkPj24FfNSlcXeZ5g7iCeZ~qLW~ZRJ48RGLI0iwTbqpFCp-5ZZKbjNeRzA3SCXwYSQ__\u0026Key-Pair-Id=APKAJLOHF5GGSLRBV4ZA"}],"slug":"Inequality_in_history_A_long_run_view","translated_slug":"","page_count":21,"language":"en","content_type":"Work","owner":{"id":32570513,"first_name":"Guido","middle_initials":null,"last_name":"Alfani","page_name":"GuidoAlfani","domain_name":"unibocconi","created_at":"2015-06-26T13:07:09.680-07:00","display_name":"Guido Alfani","url":"https://unibocconi.academia.edu/GuidoAlfani"},"attachments":[{"id":112356001,"title":"","file_type":"pdf","scribd_thumbnail_url":"https://attachments.academia-assets.com/112356001/thumbnails/1.jpg","file_name":"Alfani_JOES_Inequality_in_history_A_long_run_view.pdf","download_url":"https://www.academia.edu/attachments/112356001/download_file?st=MTczMjUwNTgzOSw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&","bulk_download_file_name":"Inequality_in_history_A_long_run_view.pdf","bulk_download_url":"https://d1wqtxts1xzle7.cloudfront.net/112356001/Alfani_JOES_Inequality_in_history_A_long_run_view-libre.pdf?1710268233=\u0026response-content-disposition=attachment%3B+filename%3DInequality_in_history_A_long_run_view.pdf\u0026Expires=1732509439\u0026Signature=Hy-LSMHKqCMxIIYYTmGrDK7UKaJRJ1qILq~ErE0aA4UsvZEXgyH4m~q5-4yhKIV12BJsREQd9qDJ2pKp4IsJwYvCsGRnd~xAbHrXOyzbEVjQumlEAsg8-X1nwkCe7weIQeEi~rRhSfY78iocS3Xd7efO8-7gDITB1kAXAfclZV~ssgbFYI0jphSkuo-WbVkuWvpVfKRWAlurPaYerS4l9MlVsooJJtA~l6-g4OnyrNW4rv~DtnXFexun-8-Mr6XCjlERMgKw3yMeW-onWAy7lkPj24FfNSlcXeZ5g7iCeZ~qLW~ZRJ48RGLI0iwTbqpFCp-5ZZKbjNeRzA3SCXwYSQ__\u0026Key-Pair-Id=APKAJLOHF5GGSLRBV4ZA"}],"research_interests":[{"id":137,"name":"Economic History","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Economic_History"},{"id":17709,"name":"Economic Inequality","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Economic_Inequality"},{"id":20009,"name":"Inequality (Economics)","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Inequality_Economics_"},{"id":25220,"name":"Income Distribution","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Income_Distribution"},{"id":25221,"name":"Wealth Distribution","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Wealth_Distribution"},{"id":49459,"name":"Income inequality","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Income_inequality"},{"id":95088,"name":"Poverty and Inequality","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Poverty_and_Inequality-1"},{"id":156237,"name":"Wealth","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Wealth"}],"urls":[]}, dispatcherData: dispatcherData });

Although the plague itself had only a limited egalitarian impact (if any), it was able to determine a structural break in the way in which some key variables affected inequality.","internal_url":"https://www.academia.edu/87485142/The_determinants_of_wealth_inequality_in_the_Republic_of_Venice_1400_1800_","translated_internal_url":"","created_at":"2022-09-28T05:34:09.077-07:00","preview_url":null,"current_user_can_edit":null,"current_user_is_owner":null,"owner_id":32570513,"coauthors_can_edit":true,"document_type":"paper","co_author_tags":[],"downloadable_attachments":[],"slug":"The_determinants_of_wealth_inequality_in_the_Republic_of_Venice_1400_1800_","translated_slug":"","page_count":null,"language":"en","content_type":"Work","owner":{"id":32570513,"first_name":"Guido","middle_initials":null,"last_name":"Alfani","page_name":"GuidoAlfani","domain_name":"unibocconi","created_at":"2015-06-26T13:07:09.680-07:00","display_name":"Guido Alfani","url":"https://unibocconi.academia.edu/GuidoAlfani"},"attachments":[],"research_interests":[{"id":261,"name":"Geography","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Geography"},{"id":724,"name":"Economics","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Economics"},{"id":1366,"name":"Late Middle Ages","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Late_Middle_Ages"},{"id":2808,"name":"Poverty","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Poverty"},{"id":16923,"name":"Early Modern Italy","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Early_Modern_Italy"},{"id":17709,"name":"Economic Inequality","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Economic_Inequality"},{"id":46788,"name":"Black Death","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Black_Death"},{"id":60091,"name":"Republic of Venice","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Republic_of_Venice"},{"id":91070,"name":"Inequality","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Inequality"},{"id":94247,"name":"Early Modern Period","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Early_Modern_Period"},{"id":153220,"name":"Plague","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Plague"},{"id":2420973,"name":"Concentration of Wealth","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Concentration_of_Wealth"}],"urls":[]}, dispatcherData: dispatcherData });

However, we do not know much about how economic actors created new social ties deliberately in order to pursue their objectives. This article analyses the way in which merchants and entrepreneurs used specific rituals to establish formal social ties, with the intent of protecting their business relationships. It focuses on relational instruments that until now had been neglected, particularly godparenthood and marriage witnessing. It shows that formalization, ritualization, and publicity of ties were used by entrepreneurs to establish trust with their business associates, for example when information was asymmetric or when institutions were perceived as inefficient in guaranteeing mutual good behaviour.The analysis covers a long period, from the late middle ages to today. It pays particular attention to the consequences of the Reformation in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries and of the industrial revolution in the nineteenth. Contrary to the received wisdom, it suggests that formal social ties such as godparenthood continued to play an important role in economic activity during and after the industrial revolution. New databases on early modern Italy and nineteenth-century France are used. R ecent developments in network analysis, applied to history, are leading to a new way of considering how social and economic actors interacted in the past. In particular, a new focus on the 'social tie' has led to increased interest in relational instruments, which were not taken into much consideration when the focus was on 'families' or 'kinship groups'. A number of new characters have appeared on the scene: godparents, marriage witnesses, neighbours, and even friends are being studied from a different perspective. It is useful to think of all these 'new' ties as weaker ties compared to the more frequently studied relationships established by kinship or marriage alliance. 2 It is important to put in a clear","publication_date":{"day":null,"month":null,"year":2011,"errors":{}},"publication_name":"The Economic History Review","grobid_abstract_attachment_id":88273182},"translated_abstract":null,"internal_url":"https://www.academia.edu/82628938/Entrepreneurs_formalization_of_social_ties_and_trustbuilding_in_Europe_fourteenth_to_twentieth_centuries_1","translated_internal_url":"","created_at":"2022-07-05T05:04:49.758-07:00","preview_url":null,"current_user_can_edit":null,"current_user_is_owner":null,"owner_id":32570513,"coauthors_can_edit":true,"document_type":"paper","co_author_tags":[],"downloadable_attachments":[{"id":88273182,"title":"","file_type":"pdf","scribd_thumbnail_url":"https://attachments.academia-assets.com/88273182/thumbnails/1.jpg","file_name":"j.1468-0289.2011.00614.x20220705-1-1sdpqzn.pdf","download_url":"https://www.academia.edu/attachments/88273182/download_file?st=MTczMjUwNTgzOSw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&","bulk_download_file_name":"Entrepreneurs_formalization_of_social_ti.pdf","bulk_download_url":"https://d1wqtxts1xzle7.cloudfront.net/88273182/j.1468-0289.2011.00614.x20220705-1-1sdpqzn-libre.pdf?1657028438=\u0026response-content-disposition=attachment%3B+filename%3DEntrepreneurs_formalization_of_social_ti.pdf\u0026Expires=1732509439\u0026Signature=UDAZaMIgJ9XglUHQfH4wNWxv0wPOunsG54X2KUgl-O8gZp8jg0ITlJLZGQ5LzS2UpEszE3pk9s4Rw46i0vvrzkHELASZJ7mWIYW5PuGhB~7l1C1UlHN4ZP~ai4F5gMYBVpfhDNqZPzdIItP9lE5y6mnqzswG-XVj6ZRSSUvpaad~-jQhCCKxDWViWgQKaf4HbCaXIaVxxGNeYeQams3PvrLeFzZuX957PBu8EQWLNz7GQHruAq141qox9KzeqJ2i9AjhUCUmynLrSWor4~4EukQFhDeorOo002yGRou8nV1Z~i7MEQ5jBDaTCcO5R63zVrLTBIuKYQf2DTmuxRW63A__\u0026Key-Pair-Id=APKAJLOHF5GGSLRBV4ZA"}],"slug":"Entrepreneurs_formalization_of_social_ties_and_trustbuilding_in_Europe_fourteenth_to_twentieth_centuries_1","translated_slug":"","page_count":24,"language":"en","content_type":"Work","owner":{"id":32570513,"first_name":"Guido","middle_initials":null,"last_name":"Alfani","page_name":"GuidoAlfani","domain_name":"unibocconi","created_at":"2015-06-26T13:07:09.680-07:00","display_name":"Guido Alfani","url":"https://unibocconi.academia.edu/GuidoAlfani"},"attachments":[{"id":88273182,"title":"","file_type":"pdf","scribd_thumbnail_url":"https://attachments.academia-assets.com/88273182/thumbnails/1.jpg","file_name":"j.1468-0289.2011.00614.x20220705-1-1sdpqzn.pdf","download_url":"https://www.academia.edu/attachments/88273182/download_file?st=MTczMjUwNTgzOSw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&","bulk_download_file_name":"Entrepreneurs_formalization_of_social_ti.pdf","bulk_download_url":"https://d1wqtxts1xzle7.cloudfront.net/88273182/j.1468-0289.2011.00614.x20220705-1-1sdpqzn-libre.pdf?1657028438=\u0026response-content-disposition=attachment%3B+filename%3DEntrepreneurs_formalization_of_social_ti.pdf\u0026Expires=1732509439\u0026Signature=UDAZaMIgJ9XglUHQfH4wNWxv0wPOunsG54X2KUgl-O8gZp8jg0ITlJLZGQ5LzS2UpEszE3pk9s4Rw46i0vvrzkHELASZJ7mWIYW5PuGhB~7l1C1UlHN4ZP~ai4F5gMYBVpfhDNqZPzdIItP9lE5y6mnqzswG-XVj6ZRSSUvpaad~-jQhCCKxDWViWgQKaf4HbCaXIaVxxGNeYeQams3PvrLeFzZuX957PBu8EQWLNz7GQHruAq141qox9KzeqJ2i9AjhUCUmynLrSWor4~4EukQFhDeorOo002yGRou8nV1Z~i7MEQ5jBDaTCcO5R63zVrLTBIuKYQf2DTmuxRW63A__\u0026Key-Pair-Id=APKAJLOHF5GGSLRBV4ZA"}],"research_interests":[{"id":184,"name":"Sociology","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Sociology"},{"id":27659,"name":"Applied Economics","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Applied_Economics"},{"id":73149,"name":"Business and Management","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Business_and_Management"},{"id":976170,"name":"Social Ties","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Social_Ties"}],"urls":[]}, dispatcherData: dispatcherData });

As a consequence, there is a need for research aiming at reducing boar taint caused by androstenone and skatole. Skatole is metabolized by cytochrome P450 enzymes (CYP450) in the liver. Skatole hepatic clearance is believed to be hindered by androstenone. Diet ingredients may modify skatole metabolism. Therefore, we tested the effect of hydrolysable tannins. We fed 51 young boars with 1-3 % chestnut wood extract as supplementary diet. After slaughter, the tissues were collected to assess androstenone and skatole accumulation in fat and to measure CYP450 activities, gene, and protein expression in the liver and intestine. Protein expression of two enzymes involved in androstenone metabolism, 3-beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (3β-HSD) and sulfotransferase family 2A member 1 (SULT2A1), was assessed, and feces collected to evaluate skatole production. Results show that intestinal skatole production in boars supplemented with 3 % of chestnut wood extract was more than halved. The intestinal catalytic activities of CYP450 were tenfold lower than hepatic and were mainly unaffected by tannins. Findings indicate a potential effect of tannins on steroidogenesis, which in the absence of effect on 3β-HSD and SULT2A1 expression suggests lower synthesis of androstenone due to tannins.","publication_date":{"day":null,"month":null,"year":2016,"errors":{}},"publication_name":"Cliometrica","grobid_abstract_attachment_id":85045167},"translated_abstract":null,"internal_url":"https://www.academia.edu/77766823/The_rich_in_historical_perspective_evidence_for_preindustrial_Europe_ca_1300_1800_","translated_internal_url":"","created_at":"2022-04-27T03:43:50.540-07:00","preview_url":null,"current_user_can_edit":null,"current_user_is_owner":null,"owner_id":32570513,"coauthors_can_edit":true,"document_type":"paper","co_author_tags":[],"downloadable_attachments":[{"id":85045167,"title":"","file_type":"pdf","scribd_thumbnail_url":"https://attachments.academia-assets.com/85045167/thumbnails/1.jpg","file_name":"s13593-016-0399-1.pdf","download_url":"https://www.academia.edu/attachments/85045167/download_file?st=MTczMjUwNTgzOSw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&","bulk_download_file_name":"The_rich_in_historical_perspective_evide.pdf","bulk_download_url":"https://d1wqtxts1xzle7.cloudfront.net/85045167/s13593-016-0399-1-libre.pdf?1651056698=\u0026response-content-disposition=attachment%3B+filename%3DThe_rich_in_historical_perspective_evide.pdf\u0026Expires=1732509439\u0026Signature=Q6NWlxA~eO3jkkirJYIvEOy41b-P~NOA90BF-HyOJyWAEU1l4~rSpEi3PerJmCmsArwasW1DwNRrX6cylPDiEEU3R83jN3xMjlSM9VLBrmmYB-28MDVlh1bYwtsBzKIQezLtTuTBXdMCGRZOcGLil3SEUjWKuT7A0ruVzZmcjMSUTozuzFroPHj81VBnMWaj49ggLULgvYkEgitWFl2ZhjtXAYRErodP2QGP06koBDxBdY32zsWH-n3T4yqB0z~c~EK7XZKSg2q4vKtLuEOxYvpUgPUo-I~F2XqgDrqpACGGZjGWDShIzpLGoqD2My~rUQ4bCke9Sk2Utg5Dh7JKbA__\u0026Key-Pair-Id=APKAJLOHF5GGSLRBV4ZA"}],"slug":"The_rich_in_historical_perspective_evidence_for_preindustrial_Europe_ca_1300_1800_","translated_slug":"","page_count":9,"language":"en","content_type":"Work","owner":{"id":32570513,"first_name":"Guido","middle_initials":null,"last_name":"Alfani","page_name":"GuidoAlfani","domain_name":"unibocconi","created_at":"2015-06-26T13:07:09.680-07:00","display_name":"Guido

Based on new archival material, we reconstruct regional estimates of economic inequality during 1500-1800 and use them to assess the role of economic growth, socialdemographic variables, proletarianization, and institutions. We argue that different explanations should be invoked to understand the early modern growth of inequality throughout Europe since several factors conspired to make for a society in which it was much easier for inequality to rise than to fall. Although long-term trends in economic inequality were apparently similar across the continent, divergence occurred in terms of inequality extraction ratios.","publication_date":{"day":null,"month":null,"year":2016,"errors":{}},"publication_name":"Explorations in Economic History","grobid_abstract_attachment_id":85045163},"translated_abstract":null,"internal_url":"https://www.academia.edu/77766822/Growing_apart_in_early_modern_Europe_A_comparison_of_inequality_trends_in_Italy_and_the_Low_Countries_1500_1800","translated_internal_url":"","created_at":"2022-04-27T03:43:50.390-07:00","preview_url":null,"current_user_can_edit":null,"current_user_is_owner":null,"owner_id":32570513,"coauthors_can_edit":true,"document_type":"paper","co_author_tags":[],"downloadable_attachments":[{"id":85045163,"title":"","file_type":"pdf","scribd_thumbnail_url":"https://attachments.academia-assets.com/85045163/thumbnails/1.jpg","file_name":"AlfaniRyckbosch2016.pdf","download_url":"https://www.academia.edu/attachments/85045163/download_file?st=MTczMjUwNTgzOSw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&","bulk_download_file_name":"Growing_apart_in_early_modern_Europe_A_c.pdf","bulk_download_url":"https://d1wqtxts1xzle7.cloudfront.net/85045163/AlfaniRyckbosch2016-libre.pdf?1651056697=\u0026response-content-disposition=attachment%3B+filename%3DGrowing_apart_in_early_modern_Europe_A_c.pdf\u0026Expires=1732509439\u0026Signature=WRRn1SLfVMp-1Z0qNJ7lZNaLt86mDkyWiKuSUyHEXXqulBY4D8vIhApp59GeMBs6LxLsNpKbHxlYS4yR6DGE1AUsmgZnhEhU8hUNwZvqjm3xTubxqds93saMTR2mNuz79ty4CsJ0NunxW9QO7E5t0M-Ewx5aoCiMgwVGVxxFNx0CWu7D8VH57hG7vvtSHok40OAIvLUjEINMew-XKeGzqXZBfVApelUw71xZQslmM9Z9ebzKVe2GSFiI8aF1tCMhvmdbw1cz4isZUwEOtC4bHp8zcB4s4DtIaj50771xWMD9o2jtEE-ufJNLSw5EKpNDxCZ2Yf4X0vtfWZevocpyOg__\u0026Key-Pair-Id=APKAJLOHF5GGSLRBV4ZA"}],"slug":"Growing_apart_in_early_modern_Europe_A_comparison_of_inequality_trends_in_Italy_and_the_Low_Countries_1500_1800","translated_slug":"","page_count":9,"language":"en","content_type":"Work","owner":{"id":32570513,"first_name":"Guido","middle_initials":null,"last_name":"Alfani","page_name":"GuidoAlfani","domain_name":"unibocconi","created_at":"2015-06-26T13:07:09.680-07:00","display_name":"Guido Alfani","url":"https://unibocconi.academia.edu/GuidoAlfani"},"attachments":[{"id":85045163,"title":"","file_type":"pdf","scribd_thumbnail_url":"https://attachments.academia-assets.com/85045163/thumbnails/1.jpg","file_name":"AlfaniRyckbosch2016.pdf","download_url":"https://www.academia.edu/attachments/85045163/download_file?st=MTczMjUwNTgzOSw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&","bulk_download_file_name":"Growing_apart_in_early_modern_Europe_A_c.pdf","bulk_download_url":"https://d1wqtxts1xzle7.cloudfront.net/85045163/AlfaniRyckbosch2016-libre.pdf?1651056697=\u0026response-content-disposition=attachment%3B+filename%3DGrowing_apart_in_early_modern_Europe_A_c.pdf\u0026Expires=1732509439\u0026Signature=WRRn1SLfVMp-1Z0qNJ7lZNaLt86mDkyWiKuSUyHEXXqulBY4D8vIhApp59GeMBs6LxLsNpKbHxlYS4yR6DGE1AUsmgZnhEhU8hUNwZvqjm3xTubxqds93saMTR2mNuz79ty4CsJ0NunxW9QO7E5t0M-Ewx5aoCiMgwVGVxxFNx0CWu7D8VH57hG7vvtSHok40OAIvLUjEINMew-XKeGzqXZBfVApelUw71xZQslmM9Z9ebzKVe2GSFiI8aF1tCMhvmdbw1cz4isZUwEOtC4bHp8zcB4s4DtIaj50771xWMD9o2jtEE-ufJNLSw5EKpNDxCZ2Yf4X0vtfWZevocpyOg__\u0026Key-Pair-Id=APKAJLOHF5GGSLRBV4ZA"}],"research_interests":[{"id":724,"name":"Economics","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Economics"},{"id":27659,"name":"Applied Economics","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Applied_Economics"}],"urls":[]}, dispatcherData: dispatcherData }); $(this).data('initialized', true); } }); $a.trackClickSource(".js-work-strip-work-link", "profile_work_strip") }); </script> <div class="js-work-strip profile--work_container" data-work-id="77766821"><div class="profile--work_thumbnail hidden-xs"><a class="js-work-strip-work-link" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-thumbnail" href="https://www.academia.edu/77766821/Calamities_and_the_Economy_in_Renaissance_Italy"><img alt="Research paper thumbnail of Calamities and the Economy in Renaissance Italy" class="work-thumbnail" src="https://a.academia-assets.com/images/blank-paper.jpg" /></a></div><div class="wp-workCard wp-workCard_itemContainer"><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--title"><a class="js-work-strip-work-link text-gray-darker" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-title" href="https://www.academia.edu/77766821/Calamities_and_the_Economy_in_Renaissance_Italy">Calamities and the Economy in Renaissance Italy</a></div><div class="wp-workCard_item"><span class="js-work-more-abstract-truncated">Italy faced a number of catastrophes in the long sixteenth century.

This overall picture of the economic conditions of Italy in the late Renaissance challenges the received wisdom that suggests, at the beginning of the seventeenth century, the Italian economy was still healthy, innovating and dynamic.","internal_url":"https://www.academia.edu/77766821/Calamities_and_the_Economy_in_Renaissance_Italy","translated_internal_url":"","created_at":"2022-04-27T03:43:50.224-07:00","preview_url":null,"current_user_can_edit":null,"current_user_is_owner":null,"owner_id":32570513,"coauthors_can_edit":true,"document_type":"paper","co_author_tags":[],"downloadable_attachments":[],"slug":"Calamities_and_the_Economy_in_Renaissance_Italy","translated_slug":"","page_count":null,"language":"en","content_type":"Work","owner":{"id":32570513,"first_name":"Guido","middle_initials":null,"last_name":"Alfani","page_name":"GuidoAlfani","domain_name":"unibocconi","created_at":"2015-06-26T13:07:09.680-07:00","display_name":"Guido Alfani","url":"https://unibocconi.academia.edu/GuidoAlfani"},"attachments":[],"research_interests":[{"id":128,"name":"History","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/History"},{"id":137,"name":"Economic History","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Economic_History"},{"id":1727,"name":"Early Modern History","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Early_Modern_History"},{"id":1744,"name":"Italian (European History)","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Italian_European_History_"},{"id":2987,"name":"Renaissance Studies","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Renaissance_Studies"}],"urls":[]}, dispatcherData: dispatcherData }); $(this).data('initialized', true); } }); $a.trackClickSource(".js-work-strip-work-link", "profile_work_strip") }); </script> <div class="js-work-strip profile--work_container" data-work-id="77766712"><div class="profile--work_thumbnail hidden-xs"><a class="js-work-strip-work-link" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-thumbnail" href="https://www.academia.edu/77766712/Social_Customs_and_Demographic_Change_The_Case_of_Godparenthood_in_Catholic_Europe"><img alt="Research paper thumbnail of Social Customs and Demographic Change: The Case of Godparenthood in Catholic Europe" class="work-thumbnail" src="https://a.academia-assets.com/images/blank-paper.jpg" /></a></div><div class="wp-workCard wp-workCard_itemContainer"><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--title"><a class="js-work-strip-work-link text-gray-darker" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-title" href="https://www.academia.edu/77766712/Social_Customs_and_Demographic_Change_The_Case_of_Godparenthood_in_Catholic_Europe">Social Customs and Demographic Change: The Case of Godparenthood in Catholic Europe</a></div><div class="wp-workCard_item"><span>Journal for the Scientific Study of Religion</span><span>, 2012</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item"><span class="js-work-more-abstract-truncated">This article analyzes social norms regulating selection of godparents in Italy and France and how...</span><a class="js-work-more-abstract" data-broccoli-component="work_strip.more_abstract" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-more-abstract" href="javascript:;"><span> more </span><span><i class="fa fa-caret-down"></i></span></a><span class="js-work-more-abstract-untruncated hidden">This article analyzes social norms regulating selection of godparents in Italy and France and how they will be affected by demographic change.

Of its many sides, the economic one is obviously among the most prominent, because the condition of poverty intuitively references inadequate access to resources. It is not surprising, then, that many economic historians have dedicated at least some attention to poverty and the poor – although rarely with a systematic, let alone a comparative, approach. This is because the economic side of poverty remains one among many, and when we intend to explore those aspects that could be expected to be dearest to economic historians, for example measuring the intensity and the prevalence of poverty across time and in different societies, the subject matter immediately becomes very complicated and somewhat disconcerting.

The main aim of the project is to investigate long-term trends in economic inequality in Italy and in Europe. Here we compare previously published data for Piedmont with some early findings for Lombardy and Veneto, in order to provide a broad picture of northern Italian inequality. The period we cover is particularly long (13 th-early 19 th centuries) for Piedmont, while for Lombardy and Veneto a somewhat shorter period is considered (15 th-18 th centuries). We provide an in-depth analysis of the archival sources usable to study long-term changes in economic inequality in northern Italy, and we provide some key measures of inequality over time (Gini indexes, top percentiles). We find evidence of a tendency for Italian inequality to increase almost everywhere and almost continuously over time, since about 1400 or 1450, confirming what has been suggested by previous studies that focused on Piedmont and Tuscany.","publication_date":{"day":1,"month":2,"year":2015,"errors":{}},"grobid_abstract_attachment_id":73951101},"translated_abstract":null,"internal_url":"https://www.academia.edu/60560602/Dinamiche_di_lungo_periodo_della_disugualianza_in_Italia_settentrionale_una_nota_di_ricerca","translated_internal_url":"","created_at":"2021-10-31T08:25:03.585-07:00","preview_url":null,"current_user_can_edit":null,"current_user_is_owner":null,"owner_id":32570513,"coauthors_can_edit":true,"document_type":"paper","co_author_tags":[],"downloadable_attachments":[{"id":73951101,"title":"","file_type":"pdf","scribd_thumbnail_url":"https://attachments.academia-assets.com/73951101/thumbnails/1.jpg","file_name":"Dinamiche_di_lungo_periodo_della_disugua20211031-6619-w4awdp.pdf","download_url":"https://www.academia.edu/attachments/73951101/download_file?st=MTczMjUwNTg0MCw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&","bulk_download_file_name":"Dinamiche_di_lungo_periodo_della_disugua.pdf","bulk_download_url":"https://d1wqtxts1xzle7.cloudfront.net/73951101/Dinamiche_di_lungo_periodo_della_disugua20211031-6619-w4awdp.pdf?1635693969=\u0026response-content-disposition=attachment%3B+filename%3DDinamiche_di_lungo_periodo_della_disugua.pdf\u0026Expires=1732509440\u0026Signature=CWMn8zGAsBtvd1d4xzzhLPnyg2Atb-PYlfgZ5fGpqfCysLOLnUXu7sBqySOpkcKf32-b1L0txgkwti0cQvLHRevPdjRasRIk63CfeI7q36xU2TCI50K784bo1fDCCTr1ykWmRbNaeOC5IO0ZC1skRwawnUGZ4yOlPGaBBMUIIq6Phao8wB61qbySP0Q3vHDr4JAxk6H4WP2iyveVqsoVlhDO5PQvKjbsbJ8XuZKuVHkhsXFM8YI67M-sFt73yxULsY2pbZqFRpyRxmZI3-AN~37tJejCkRN9Gy3ZVJieGieCddkywGWZQo-1IXK29E3Z4dyfuYBJGdrKWdwSc7xhEw__\u0026Key-Pair-Id=APKAJLOHF5GGSLRBV4ZA"}],"slug":"Dinamiche_di_lungo_periodo_della_disugualianza_in_Italia_settentrionale_una_nota_di_ricerca","translated_slug":"","page_count":32,"language":"it","content_type":"Work","owner":{"id":32570513,"first_name":"Guido","middle_initials":null,"last_name":"Alfani","page_name":"GuidoAlfani","domain_name":"unibocconi","created_at":"2015-06-26T13:07:09.680-07:00","display_name":"Guido Alfani","url":"https://unibocconi.academia.edu/GuidoAlfani"},"attachments":[{"id":73951101,"title":"","file_type":"pdf","scribd_thumbnail_url":"https://attachments.academia-assets.com/73951101/thumbnails/1.jpg","file_name":"Dinamiche_di_lungo_periodo_della_disugua20211031-6619-w4awdp.pdf","download_url":"https://www.academia.edu/attachments/73951101/download_file?st=MTczMjUwNTg0MCw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&","bulk_download_file_name":"Dinamiche_di_lungo_periodo_della_disugua.pdf","bulk_download_url":"https://d1wqtxts1xzle7.cloudfront.net/73951101/Dinamiche_di_lungo_periodo_della_disugua20211031-6619-w4awdp.pdf?1635693969=\u0026response-content-disposition=attachment%3B+filename%3DDinamiche_di_lungo_periodo_della_disugua.pdf\u0026Expires=1732509440\u0026Signature=CWMn8zGAsBtvd1d4xzzhLPnyg2Atb-PYlfgZ5fGpqfCysLOLnUXu7sBqySOpkcKf32-b1L0txgkwti0cQvLHRevPdjRasRIk63CfeI7q36xU2TCI50K784bo1fDCCTr1ykWmRbNaeOC5IO0ZC1skRwawnUGZ4yOlPGaBBMUIIq6Phao8wB61qbySP0Q3vHDr4JAxk6H4WP2iyveVqsoVlhDO5PQvKjbsbJ8XuZKuVHkhsXFM8YI67M-sFt73yxULsY2pbZqFRpyRxmZI3-AN~37tJejCkRN9Gy3ZVJieGieCddkywGWZQo-1IXK29E3Z4dyfuYBJGdrKWdwSc7xhEw__\u0026Key-Pair-Id=APKAJLOHF5GGSLRBV4ZA"}],"research_interests":[{"id":137,"name":"Economic History","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Economic_History"},{"id":1727,"name":"Early Modern History","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Early_Modern_History"},{"id":15588,"name":"Social History","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Social_History"},{"id":33481,"name":"Social Mobility","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Social_Mobility"},{"id":298490,"name":"Inequality Economics","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Inequality_Economics"}],"urls":[]}, dispatcherData: dispatcherData });

We develop a theoretical model of admissions to the lazzaretto, for better interpretation of the observational data. We explore how age and sex shaped the individual risk of death, and we provide a one-of-a-kind study of the impact of socioeconomic status. We report an inversion of the normal mortality gradient by status for those interned at the lazzaretto. The rich enjoyed a greater ability to make decisions about their hospitalization, but this backfired.

It discusses recent encompassing hypotheses about the factors leading to long-run inequality change, highlighting their relative merits and faults, and arguing for the need to pay close attention to the historical context.","internal_url":"https://www.academia.edu/116145224/Inequality_in_history_A_long_run_view","translated_internal_url":"","created_at":"2024-03-12T11:19:27.317-07:00","preview_url":null,"current_user_can_edit":null,"current_user_is_owner":null,"owner_id":32570513,"coauthors_can_edit":true,"document_type":"paper","co_author_tags":[],"downloadable_attachments":[{"id":112356001,"title":"","file_type":"pdf","scribd_thumbnail_url":"https://attachments.academia-assets.com/112356001/thumbnails/1.jpg","file_name":"Alfani_JOES_Inequality_in_history_A_long_run_view.pdf","download_url":"https://www.academia.edu/attachments/112356001/download_file?st=MTczMjUwNTg0MCw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&st=MTczMjUwNTgzOSw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&","bulk_download_file_name":"Inequality_in_history_A_long_run_view.pdf","bulk_download_url":"https://d1wqtxts1xzle7.cloudfront.net/112356001/Alfani_JOES_Inequality_in_history_A_long_run_view-libre.pdf?1710268233=\u0026response-content-disposition=attachment%3B+filename%3DInequality_in_history_A_long_run_view.pdf\u0026Expires=1732509439\u0026Signature=Hy-LSMHKqCMxIIYYTmGrDK7UKaJRJ1qILq~ErE0aA4UsvZEXgyH4m~q5-4yhKIV12BJsREQd9qDJ2pKp4IsJwYvCsGRnd~xAbHrXOyzbEVjQumlEAsg8-X1nwkCe7weIQeEi~rRhSfY78iocS3Xd7efO8-7gDITB1kAXAfclZV~ssgbFYI0jphSkuo-WbVkuWvpVfKRWAlurPaYerS4l9MlVsooJJtA~l6-g4OnyrNW4rv~DtnXFexun-8-Mr6XCjlERMgKw3yMeW-onWAy7lkPj24FfNSlcXeZ5g7iCeZ~qLW~ZRJ48RGLI0iwTbqpFCp-5ZZKbjNeRzA3SCXwYSQ__\u0026Key-Pair-Id=APKAJLOHF5GGSLRBV4ZA"}],"slug":"Inequality_in_history_A_long_run_view","translated_slug":"","page_count":21,"language":"en","content_type":"Work","owner":{"id":32570513,"first_name":"Guido","middle_initials":null,"last_name":"Alfani","page_name":"GuidoAlfani","domain_name":"unibocconi","created_at":"2015-06-26T13:07:09.680-07:00","display_name":"Guido Alfani","url":"https://unibocconi.academia.edu/GuidoAlfani"},"attachments":[{"id":112356001,"title":"","file_type":"pdf","scribd_thumbnail_url":"https://attachments.academia-assets.com/112356001/thumbnails/1.jpg","file_name":"Alfani_JOES_Inequality_in_history_A_long_run_view.pdf","download_url":"https://www.academia.edu/attachments/112356001/download_file?st=MTczMjUwNTg0MCw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&st=MTczMjUwNTgzOSw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&","bulk_download_file_name":"Inequality_in_history_A_long_run_view.pdf","bulk_download_url":"https://d1wqtxts1xzle7.cloudfront.net/112356001/Alfani_JOES_Inequality_in_history_A_long_run_view-libre.pdf?1710268233=\u0026response-content-disposition=attachment%3B+filename%3DInequality_in_history_A_long_run_view.pdf\u0026Expires=1732509439\u0026Signature=Hy-LSMHKqCMxIIYYTmGrDK7UKaJRJ1qILq~ErE0aA4UsvZEXgyH4m~q5-4yhKIV12BJsREQd9qDJ2pKp4IsJwYvCsGRnd~xAbHrXOyzbEVjQumlEAsg8-X1nwkCe7weIQeEi~rRhSfY78iocS3Xd7efO8-7gDITB1kAXAfclZV~ssgbFYI0jphSkuo-WbVkuWvpVfKRWAlurPaYerS4l9MlVsooJJtA~l6-g4OnyrNW4rv~DtnXFexun-8-Mr6XCjlERMgKw3yMeW-onWAy7lkPj24FfNSlcXeZ5g7iCeZ~qLW~ZRJ48RGLI0iwTbqpFCp-5ZZKbjNeRzA3SCXwYSQ__\u0026Key-Pair-Id=APKAJLOHF5GGSLRBV4ZA"}],"research_interests":[{"id":137,"name":"Economic History","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Economic_History"},{"id":17709,"name":"Economic Inequality","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Economic_Inequality"},{"id":20009,"name":"Inequality (Economics)","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Inequality_Economics_"},{"id":25220,"name":"Income Distribution","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Income_Distribution"},{"id":25221,"name":"Wealth Distribution","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Wealth_Distribution"},{"id":49459,"name":"Income inequality","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Income_inequality"},{"id":95088,"name":"Poverty and Inequality","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Poverty_and_Inequality-1"},{"id":156237,"name":"Wealth","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Wealth"}],"urls":[]}, dispatcherData: dispatcherData });

First, we explore the ability of economic development, population and the intensity of regressive taxation to explain overall inequality trends in the long run, arguing for a particularly strong impact of regressive taxation. Then, to explain inequality variation between communities, we introduce a full set of geo-morphological variables. Finally we explore the impact of the terrible 1630 plague, which killed 40% of the inhabitants of this area. Although the plague itself had only a limited egalitarian impact (if any), it was able to determine a structural break in the way in which some key variables affected inequality.","internal_url":"https://www.academia.edu/87485142/The_determinants_of_wealth_inequality_in_the_Republic_of_Venice_1400_1800_","translated_internal_url":"","created_at":"2022-09-28T05:34:09.077-07:00","preview_url":null,"current_user_can_edit":null,"current_user_is_owner":null,"owner_id":32570513,"coauthors_can_edit":true,"document_type":"paper","co_author_tags":[],"downloadable_attachments":[],"slug":"The_determinants_of_wealth_inequality_in_the_Republic_of_Venice_1400_1800_","translated_slug":"","page_count":null,"language":"en","content_type":"Work","owner":{"id":32570513,"first_name":"Guido","middle_initials":null,"last_name":"Alfani","page_name":"GuidoAlfani","domain_name":"unibocconi","created_at":"2015-06-26T13:07:09.680-07:00","display_name":"Guido Alfani","url":"https://unibocconi.academia.edu/GuidoAlfani"},"attachments":[],"research_interests":[{"id":261,"name":"Geography","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Geography"},{"id":724,"name":"Economics","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Economics"},{"id":1366,"name":"Late Middle Ages","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Late_Middle_Ages"},{"id":2808,"name":"Poverty","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Poverty"},{"id":16923,"name":"Early Modern Italy","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Early_Modern_Italy"},{"id":17709,"name":"Economic Inequality","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Economic_Inequality"},{"id":46788,"name":"Black Death","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Black_Death"},{"id":60091,"name":"Republic of Venice","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Republic_of_Venice"},{"id":91070,"name":"Inequality","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Inequality"},{"id":94247,"name":"Early Modern Period","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Early_Modern_Period"},{"id":153220,"name":"Plague","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Plague"},{"id":2420973,"name":"Concentration of Wealth","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Concentration_of_Wealth"}],"urls":[]}, dispatcherData: dispatcherData });

However, we do not know much about how economic actors created new social ties deliberately in order to pursue their objectives. This article analyses the way in which merchants and entrepreneurs used specific rituals to establish formal social ties, with the intent of protecting their business relationships. It focuses on relational instruments that until now had been neglected, particularly godparenthood and marriage witnessing. It shows that formalization, ritualization, and publicity of ties were used by entrepreneurs to establish trust with their business associates, for example when information was asymmetric or when institutions were perceived as inefficient in guaranteeing mutual good behaviour.The analysis covers a long period, from the late middle ages to today. It pays particular attention to the consequences of the Reformation in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries and of the industrial revolution in the nineteenth. Contrary to the received wisdom, it suggests that formal social ties such as godparenthood continued to play an important role in economic activity during and after the industrial revolution. New databases on early modern Italy and nineteenth-century France are used. R ecent developments in network analysis, applied to history, are leading to a new way of considering how social and economic actors interacted in the past. In particular, a new focus on the 'social tie' has led to increased interest in relational instruments, which were not taken into much consideration when the focus was on 'families' or 'kinship groups'. A number of new characters have appeared on the scene: godparents, marriage witnesses, neighbours, and even friends are being studied from a different perspective. It is useful to think of all these 'new' ties as weaker ties compared to the more frequently studied relationships established by kinship or marriage alliance. 2 It is important to put in a clear","publication_date":{"day":null,"month":null,"year":2011,"errors":{}},"publication_name":"The Economic History Review","grobid_abstract_attachment_id":88273182},"translated_abstract":null,"internal_url":"https://www.academia.edu/82628938/Entrepreneurs_formalization_of_social_ties_and_trustbuilding_in_Europe_fourteenth_to_twentieth_centuries_1","translated_internal_url":"","created_at":"2022-07-05T05:04:49.758-07:00","preview_url":null,"current_user_can_edit":null,"current_user_is_owner":null,"owner_id":32570513,"coauthors_can_edit":true,"document_type":"paper","co_author_tags":[],"downloadable_attachments":[{"id":88273182,"title":"","file_type":"pdf","scribd_thumbnail_url":"https://attachments.academia-assets.com/88273182/thumbnails/1.jpg","file_name":"j.1468-0289.2011.00614.x20220705-1-1sdpqzn.pdf","download_url":"https://www.academia.edu/attachments/88273182/download_file?st=MTczMjUwNTg0MCw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&st=MTczMjUwNTgzOSw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&","bulk_download_file_name":"Entrepreneurs_formalization_of_social_ti.pdf","bulk_download_url":"https://d1wqtxts1xzle7.cloudfront.net/88273182/j.1468-0289.2011.00614.x20220705-1-1sdpqzn-libre.pdf?1657028438=\u0026response-content-disposition=attachment%3B+filename%3DEntrepreneurs_formalization_of_social_ti.pdf\u0026Expires=1732509439\u0026Signature=UDAZaMIgJ9XglUHQfH4wNWxv0wPOunsG54X2KUgl-O8gZp8jg0ITlJLZGQ5LzS2UpEszE3pk9s4Rw46i0vvrzkHELASZJ7mWIYW5PuGhB~7l1C1UlHN4ZP~ai4F5gMYBVpfhDNqZPzdIItP9lE5y6mnqzswG-XVj6ZRSSUvpaad~-jQhCCKxDWViWgQKaf4HbCaXIaVxxGNeYeQams3PvrLeFzZuX957PBu8EQWLNz7GQHruAq141qox9KzeqJ2i9AjhUCUmynLrSWor4~4EukQFhDeorOo002yGRou8nV1Z~i7MEQ5jBDaTCcO5R63zVrLTBIuKYQf2DTmuxRW63A__\u0026Key-Pair-Id=APKAJLOHF5GGSLRBV4ZA"}],"slug":"Entrepreneurs_formalization_of_social_ties_and_trustbuilding_in_Europe_fourteenth_to_twentieth_centuries_1","translated_slug":"","page_count":24,"language":"en","content_type":"Work","owner":{"id":32570513,"first_name":"Guido","middle_initials":null,"last_name":"Alfani","page_name":"GuidoAlfani","domain_name":"unibocconi","created_at":"2015-06-26T13:07:09.680-07:00","display_name":"Guido Alfani","url":"https://unibocconi.academia.edu/GuidoAlfani"},"attachments":[{"id":88273182,"title":"","file_type":"pdf","scribd_thumbnail_url":"https://attachments.academia-assets.com/88273182/thumbnails/1.jpg","file_name":"j.1468-0289.2011.00614.x20220705-1-1sdpqzn.pdf","download_url":"https://www.academia.edu/attachments/88273182/download_file?st=MTczMjUwNTg0MCw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&st=MTczMjUwNTgzOSw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&","bulk_download_file_name":"Entrepreneurs_formalization_of_social_ti.pdf","bulk_download_url":"https://d1wqtxts1xzle7.cloudfront.net/88273182/j.1468-0289.2011.00614.x20220705-1-1sdpqzn-libre.pdf?1657028438=\u0026response-content-disposition=attachment%3B+filename%3DEntrepreneurs_formalization_of_social_ti.pdf\u0026Expires=1732509439\u0026Signature=UDAZaMIgJ9XglUHQfH4wNWxv0wPOunsG54X2KUgl-O8gZp8jg0ITlJLZGQ5LzS2UpEszE3pk9s4Rw46i0vvrzkHELASZJ7mWIYW5PuGhB~7l1C1UlHN4ZP~ai4F5gMYBVpfhDNqZPzdIItP9lE5y6mnqzswG-XVj6ZRSSUvpaad~-jQhCCKxDWViWgQKaf4HbCaXIaVxxGNeYeQams3PvrLeFzZuX957PBu8EQWLNz7GQHruAq141qox9KzeqJ2i9AjhUCUmynLrSWor4~4EukQFhDeorOo002yGRou8nV1Z~i7MEQ5jBDaTCcO5R63zVrLTBIuKYQf2DTmuxRW63A__\u0026Key-Pair-Id=APKAJLOHF5GGSLRBV4ZA"}],"research_interests":[{"id":184,"name":"Sociology","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Sociology"},{"id":27659,"name":"Applied Economics","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Applied_Economics"},{"id":73149,"name":"Business and Management","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Business_and_Management"},{"id":976170,"name":"Social Ties","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Social_Ties"}],"urls":[]}, dispatcherData: dispatcherData });

As a consequence, there is a need for research aiming at reducing boar taint caused by androstenone and skatole. Skatole is metabolized by cytochrome P450 enzymes (CYP450) in the liver. Skatole hepatic clearance is believed to be hindered by androstenone. Diet ingredients may modify skatole metabolism. Therefore, we tested the effect of hydrolysable tannins. We fed 51 young boars with 1-3 % chestnut wood extract as supplementary diet. After slaughter, the tissues were collected to assess androstenone and skatole accumulation in fat and to measure CYP450 activities, gene, and protein expression in the liver and intestine. Protein expression of two enzymes involved in androstenone metabolism, 3-beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (3β-HSD) and sulfotransferase family 2A member 1 (SULT2A1), was assessed, and feces collected to evaluate skatole production. Results show that intestinal skatole production in boars supplemented with 3 % of chestnut wood extract was more than halved. The intestinal catalytic activities of CYP450 were tenfold lower than hepatic and were mainly unaffected by tannins. Findings indicate a potential effect of tannins on steroidogenesis, which in the absence of effect on 3β-HSD and SULT2A1 expression suggests lower synthesis of androstenone due to tannins.","publication_date":{"day":null,"month":null,"year":2016,"errors":{}},"publication_name":"Cliometrica","grobid_abstract_attachment_id":85045167},"translated_abstract":null,"internal_url":"https://www.academia.edu/77766823/The_rich_in_historical_perspective_evidence_for_preindustrial_Europe_ca_1300_1800_","translated_internal_url":"","created_at":"2022-04-27T03:43:50.540-07:00","preview_url":null,"current_user_can_edit":null,"current_user_is_owner":null,"owner_id":32570513,"coauthors_can_edit":true,"document_type":"paper","co_author_tags":[],"downloadable_attachments":[{"id":85045167,"title":"","file_type":"pdf","scribd_thumbnail_url":"https://attachments.academia-assets.com/85045167/thumbnails/1.jpg","file_name":"s13593-016-0399-1.pdf","download_url":"https://www.academia.edu/attachments/85045167/download_file?st=MTczMjUwNTg0MCw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&st=MTczMjUwNTgzOSw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&","bulk_download_file_name":"The_rich_in_historical_perspective_evide.pdf","bulk_download_url":"https://d1wqtxts1xzle7.cloudfront.net/85045167/s13593-016-0399-1-libre.pdf?1651056698=\u0026response-content-disposition=attachment%3B+filename%3DThe_rich_in_historical_perspective_evide.pdf\u0026Expires=1732509439\u0026Signature=Q6NWlxA~eO3jkkirJYIvEOy41b-P~NOA90BF-HyOJyWAEU1l4~rSpEi3PerJmCmsArwasW1DwNRrX6cylPDiEEU3R83jN3xMjlSM9VLBrmmYB-28MDVlh1bYwtsBzKIQezLtTuTBXdMCGRZOcGLil3SEUjWKuT7A0ruVzZmcjMSUTozuzFroPHj81VBnMWaj49ggLULgvYkEgitWFl2ZhjtXAYRErodP2QGP06koBDxBdY32zsWH-n3T4yqB0z~c~EK7XZKSg2q4vKtLuEOxYvpUgPUo-I~F2XqgDrqpACGGZjGWDShIzpLGoqD2My~rUQ4bCke9Sk2Utg5Dh7JKbA__\u0026Key-Pair-Id=APKAJLOHF5GGSLRBV4ZA"}],"slug":"The_rich_in_historical_perspective_evidence_for_preindustrial_Europe_ca_1300_1800_","translated_slug":"","page_count":9,"language":"en","content_type":"Work","owner":{"id":32570513,"first_name":"Guido","middle_initials":null,"last_name":"Alfani","page_name":"GuidoAlfani","domain_name":"unibocconi","created_at":"2015-06-26T13:07:09.680-07:00","display_name":"Guido

Based on new archival material, we reconstruct regional estimates of economic inequality during 1500-1800 and use them to assess the role of economic growth, socialdemographic variables, proletarianization, and institutions. We argue that different explanations should be invoked to understand the early modern growth of inequality throughout Europe since several factors conspired to make for a society in which it was much easier for inequality to rise than to fall. Although long-term trends in economic inequality were apparently similar across the continent, divergence occurred in terms of inequality extraction ratios.","publication_date":{"day":null,"month":null,"year":2016,"errors":{}},"publication_name":"Explorations in Economic History","grobid_abstract_attachment_id":85045163},"translated_abstract":null,"internal_url":"https://www.academia.edu/77766822/Growing_apart_in_early_modern_Europe_A_comparison_of_inequality_trends_in_Italy_and_the_Low_Countries_1500_1800","translated_internal_url":"","created_at":"2022-04-27T03:43:50.390-07:00","preview_url":null,"current_user_can_edit":null,"current_user_is_owner":null,"owner_id":32570513,"coauthors_can_edit":true,"document_type":"paper","co_author_tags":[],"downloadable_attachments":[{"id":85045163,"title":"","file_type":"pdf","scribd_thumbnail_url":"https://attachments.academia-assets.com/85045163/thumbnails/1.jpg","file_name":"AlfaniRyckbosch2016.pdf","download_url":"https://www.academia.edu/attachments/85045163/download_file?st=MTczMjUwNTg0MCw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&st=MTczMjUwNTgzOSw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&","bulk_download_file_name":"Growing_apart_in_early_modern_Europe_A_c.pdf","bulk_download_url":"https://d1wqtxts1xzle7.cloudfront.net/85045163/AlfaniRyckbosch2016-libre.pdf?1651056697=\u0026response-content-disposition=attachment%3B+filename%3DGrowing_apart_in_early_modern_Europe_A_c.pdf\u0026Expires=1732509439\u0026Signature=WRRn1SLfVMp-1Z0qNJ7lZNaLt86mDkyWiKuSUyHEXXqulBY4D8vIhApp59GeMBs6LxLsNpKbHxlYS4yR6DGE1AUsmgZnhEhU8hUNwZvqjm3xTubxqds93saMTR2mNuz79ty4CsJ0NunxW9QO7E5t0M-Ewx5aoCiMgwVGVxxFNx0CWu7D8VH57hG7vvtSHok40OAIvLUjEINMew-XKeGzqXZBfVApelUw71xZQslmM9Z9ebzKVe2GSFiI8aF1tCMhvmdbw1cz4isZUwEOtC4bHp8zcB4s4DtIaj50771xWMD9o2jtEE-ufJNLSw5EKpNDxCZ2Yf4X0vtfWZevocpyOg__\u0026Key-Pair-Id=APKAJLOHF5GGSLRBV4ZA"}],"slug":"Growing_apart_in_early_modern_Europe_A_comparison_of_inequality_trends_in_Italy_and_the_Low_Countries_1500_1800","translated_slug":"","page_count":9,"language":"en","content_type":"Work","owner":{"id":32570513,"first_name":"Guido","middle_initials":null,"last_name":"Alfani","page_name":"GuidoAlfani","domain_name":"unibocconi","created_at":"2015-06-26T13:07:09.680-07:00","display_name":"Guido Alfani","url":"https://unibocconi.academia.edu/GuidoAlfani"},"attachments":[{"id":85045163,"title":"","file_type":"pdf","scribd_thumbnail_url":"https://attachments.academia-assets.com/85045163/thumbnails/1.jpg","file_name":"AlfaniRyckbosch2016.pdf","download_url":"https://www.academia.edu/attachments/85045163/download_file?st=MTczMjUwNTg0MCw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&st=MTczMjUwNTgzOSw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&","bulk_download_file_name":"Growing_apart_in_early_modern_Europe_A_c.pdf","bulk_download_url":"https://d1wqtxts1xzle7.cloudfront.net/85045163/AlfaniRyckbosch2016-libre.pdf?1651056697=\u0026response-content-disposition=attachment%3B+filename%3DGrowing_apart_in_early_modern_Europe_A_c.pdf\u0026Expires=1732509439\u0026Signature=WRRn1SLfVMp-1Z0qNJ7lZNaLt86mDkyWiKuSUyHEXXqulBY4D8vIhApp59GeMBs6LxLsNpKbHxlYS4yR6DGE1AUsmgZnhEhU8hUNwZvqjm3xTubxqds93saMTR2mNuz79ty4CsJ0NunxW9QO7E5t0M-Ewx5aoCiMgwVGVxxFNx0CWu7D8VH57hG7vvtSHok40OAIvLUjEINMew-XKeGzqXZBfVApelUw71xZQslmM9Z9ebzKVe2GSFiI8aF1tCMhvmdbw1cz4isZUwEOtC4bHp8zcB4s4DtIaj50771xWMD9o2jtEE-ufJNLSw5EKpNDxCZ2Yf4X0vtfWZevocpyOg__\u0026Key-Pair-Id=APKAJLOHF5GGSLRBV4ZA"}],"research_interests":[{"id":724,"name":"Economics","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Economics"},{"id":27659,"name":"Applied Economics","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Applied_Economics"}],"urls":[]}, dispatcherData: dispatcherData }); $(this).data('initialized', true); } }); $a.trackClickSource(".js-work-strip-work-link", "profile_work_strip") }); </script> <div class="js-work-strip profile--work_container" data-work-id="77766821"><div class="profile--work_thumbnail hidden-xs"><a class="js-work-strip-work-link" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-thumbnail" href="https://www.academia.edu/77766821/Calamities_and_the_Economy_in_Renaissance_Italy"><img alt="Research paper thumbnail of Calamities and the Economy in Renaissance Italy" class="work-thumbnail" src="https://a.academia-assets.com/images/blank-paper.jpg" /></a></div><div class="wp-workCard wp-workCard_itemContainer"><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--title"><a class="js-work-strip-work-link text-gray-darker" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-title" href="https://www.academia.edu/77766821/Calamities_and_the_Economy_in_Renaissance_Italy">Calamities and the Economy in Renaissance Italy</a></div><div class="wp-workCard_item"><span class="js-work-more-abstract-truncated">Italy faced a number of catastrophes in the long sixteenth century.

The main aim of the project is to investigate long-term trends in economic inequality in Italy and in Europe. Here we compare previously published data for Piedmont with some early findings for Lombardy and Veneto, in order to provide a broad picture of northern Italian inequality. The period we cover is particularly long (13 th-early 19 th centuries) for Piedmont, while for Lombardy and Veneto a somewhat shorter period is considered (15 th-18 th centuries). We provide an in-depth analysis of the archival sources usable to study long-term changes in economic inequality in northern Italy, and we provide some key measures of inequality over time (Gini indexes, top percentiles). We find evidence of a tendency for Italian inequality to increase almost everywhere and almost continuously over time, since about 1400 or 1450, confirming what has been suggested by previous studies that focused on Piedmont and Tuscany.","publication_date":{"day":1,"month":2,"year":2015,"errors":{}},"grobid_abstract_attachment_id":73951101},"translated_abstract":null,"internal_url":"https://www.academia.edu/60560602/Dinamiche_di_lungo_periodo_della_disugualianza_in_Italia_settentrionale_una_nota_di_ricerca","translated_internal_url":"","created_at":"2021-10-31T08:25:03.585-07:00","preview_url":null,"current_user_can_edit":null,"current_user_is_owner":null,"owner_id":32570513,"coauthors_can_edit":true,"document_type":"paper","co_author_tags":[],"downloadable_attachments":[{"id":73951101,"title":"","file_type":"pdf","scribd_thumbnail_url":"https://attachments.academia-assets.com/73951101/thumbnails/1.jpg","file_name":"Dinamiche_di_lungo_periodo_della_disugua20211031-6619-w4awdp.pdf","download_url":"https://www.academia.edu/attachments/73951101/download_file?st=MTczMjUwNTg0MCw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&st=MTczMjUwNTg0MCw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&","bulk_download_file_name":"Dinamiche_di_lungo_periodo_della_disugua.pdf","bulk_download_url":"https://d1wqtxts1xzle7.cloudfront.net/73951101/Dinamiche_di_lungo_periodo_della_disugua20211031-6619-w4awdp.pdf?1635693969=\u0026response-content-disposition=attachment%3B+filename%3DDinamiche_di_lungo_periodo_della_disugua.pdf\u0026Expires=1732509440\u0026Signature=CWMn8zGAsBtvd1d4xzzhLPnyg2Atb-PYlfgZ5fGpqfCysLOLnUXu7sBqySOpkcKf32-b1L0txgkwti0cQvLHRevPdjRasRIk63CfeI7q36xU2TCI50K784bo1fDCCTr1ykWmRbNaeOC5IO0ZC1skRwawnUGZ4yOlPGaBBMUIIq6Phao8wB61qbySP0Q3vHDr4JAxk6H4WP2iyveVqsoVlhDO5PQvKjbsbJ8XuZKuVHkhsXFM8YI67M-sFt73yxULsY2pbZqFRpyRxmZI3-AN~37tJejCkRN9Gy3ZVJieGieCddkywGWZQo-1IXK29E3Z4dyfuYBJGdrKWdwSc7xhEw__\u0026Key-Pair-Id=APKAJLOHF5GGSLRBV4ZA"}],"slug":"Dinamiche_di_lungo_periodo_della_disugualianza_in_Italia_settentrionale_una_nota_di_ricerca","translated_slug":"","page_count":32,"language":"it","content_type":"Work","owner":{"id":32570513,"first_name":"Guido","middle_initials":null,"last_name":"Alfani","page_name":"GuidoAlfani","domain_name":"unibocconi","created_at":"2015-06-26T13:07:09.680-07:00","display_name":"Guido Alfani","url":"https://unibocconi.academia.edu/GuidoAlfani"},"attachments":[{"id":73951101,"title":"","file_type":"pdf","scribd_thumbnail_url":"https://attachments.academia-assets.com/73951101/thumbnails/1.jpg","file_name":"Dinamiche_di_lungo_periodo_della_disugua20211031-6619-w4awdp.pdf","download_url":"https://www.academia.edu/attachments/73951101/download_file?st=MTczMjUwNTg0MCw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&st=MTczMjUwNTg0MCw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&","bulk_download_file_name":"Dinamiche_di_lungo_periodo_della_disugua.pdf","bulk_download_url":"https://d1wqtxts1xzle7.cloudfront.net/73951101/Dinamiche_di_lungo_periodo_della_disugua20211031-6619-w4awdp.pdf?1635693969=\u0026response-content-disposition=attachment%3B+filename%3DDinamiche_di_lungo_periodo_della_disugua.pdf\u0026Expires=1732509440\u0026Signature=CWMn8zGAsBtvd1d4xzzhLPnyg2Atb-PYlfgZ5fGpqfCysLOLnUXu7sBqySOpkcKf32-b1L0txgkwti0cQvLHRevPdjRasRIk63CfeI7q36xU2TCI50K784bo1fDCCTr1ykWmRbNaeOC5IO0ZC1skRwawnUGZ4yOlPGaBBMUIIq6Phao8wB61qbySP0Q3vHDr4JAxk6H4WP2iyveVqsoVlhDO5PQvKjbsbJ8XuZKuVHkhsXFM8YI67M-sFt73yxULsY2pbZqFRpyRxmZI3-AN~37tJejCkRN9Gy3ZVJieGieCddkywGWZQo-1IXK29E3Z4dyfuYBJGdrKWdwSc7xhEw__\u0026Key-Pair-Id=APKAJLOHF5GGSLRBV4ZA"}],"research_interests":[{"id":137,"name":"Economic History","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Economic_History"},{"id":1727,"name":"Early Modern History","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Early_Modern_History"},{"id":15588,"name":"Social History","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Social_History"},{"id":33481,"name":"Social Mobility","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Social_Mobility"},{"id":298490,"name":"Inequality Economics","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Inequality_Economics"}],"urls":[]}, dispatcherData: dispatcherData });

The fourteenth-century Black Death, which is usually believed to have led to a significant reduction in economic inequality, has attracted the greatest attention. However, the picture becomes much more complex if other epidemics are considered. This article covers the worst epidemics of preindustrial times, from Justinian’s Plague of 540-41 to the last great European plagues of the seventeenth century, as well as the cholera waves of the nineteenth.

It covers four pre-unification Italian states (Sabaudian State, Florentine State, Kingdom of Naples and Republic of Venice) as well as other areas of Europe (Low Countries, Catalonia) during the period 1300-1800. Three different kinds of indicators are measured systematically and combined in the analysis: headcount indexes, the share of the top rich, and richness indexes. Taken together, they suggest that overall, during the entirety of the early modern period the rich tended to become both more prevalent and more distanced from the other strata of society. The only period during which the opposite process took place was the late Middle Ages, following the Black Death epidemic of the mid-fourteenth century. In the period from ca. 1300 to 1800, the prevalence of the rich doubled. In the Sabaudian State, the Florentine State and the Kingdom of Naples, for which reconstructions of regional wealth distributions exist, in about the same period the share of the top 10% grew from 45-55% to 70-80% - reaching almost exactly the same level which has recently been suggested as the European average at 1810. Consequently, the time series presented here might be used to add about five centuries of wealth inequality trends to current debates on very long-term changes in the relative position of the rich.</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--actions"><span class="work-strip-bookmark-button-container"></span><a id="ac5216fd90ef2125284f3ba3be8add8f" class="wp-workCard--action" rel="nofollow" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-download" data-download="{"attachment_id":43618441,"asset_id":23125015,"asset_type":"Work","button_location":"profile"}" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/43618441/download_file?st=MTczMjUwNTg0MCw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&s=profile"><span><i class="fa fa-arrow-down"></i></span><span>Download</span></a><span class="wp-workCard--action visible-if-viewed-by-owner inline-block" style="display: none;"><span class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper" data-work-id="23125015"><a class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button" tabindex="0"><span><i class="fa fa-pencil"></i></span><span>Edit</span></a></span></span><span id="work-strip-rankings-button-container"></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--stats"><span><span><span class="js-view-count view-count u-mr2x" data-work-id="23125015"><i class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin"></i></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 23125015; window.Academia.workViewCountsFetcher.queue(workId, function (count) { var description = window.$h.commaizeInt(count) + " " + window.$h.pluralize(count, 'View'); $(".js-view-count[data-work-id=23125015]").text(description); $(".js-view-count[data-work-id=23125015]").attr('title', description).tooltip(); }); });</script></span></span><span><span class="percentile-widget hidden"><span class="u-mr2x work-percentile"></span></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 23125015; window.Academia.workPercentilesFetcher.queue(workId, function (percentileText) { var container = $(".js-work-strip[data-work-id='23125015']"); container.find('.work-percentile').text(percentileText.charAt(0).toUpperCase() + percentileText.slice(1)); container.find('.percentile-widget').show(); container.find('.percentile-widget').removeClass('hidden'); }); });</script></span><span><script>$(function() { new Works.PaperRankView({ workId: 23125015, container: "", }); });</script></span></div><div id="work-strip-premium-row-container"></div></div></div><script> require.config({ waitSeconds: 90 })(["https://a.academia-assets.com/assets/wow_profile-f77ea15d77ce96025a6048a514272ad8becbad23c641fc2b3bd6e24ca6ff1932.js","https://a.academia-assets.com/assets/work_edit-ad038b8c047c1a8d4fa01b402d530ff93c45fee2137a149a4a5398bc8ad67560.js"], function() { // from javascript_helper.rb var dispatcherData = {} if (true){ window.WowProfile.dispatcher = window.WowProfile.dispatcher || _.clone(Backbone.Events); dispatcherData = { dispatcher: window.WowProfile.dispatcher, downloadLinkId: "ac5216fd90ef2125284f3ba3be8add8f" } } $('.js-work-strip[data-work-id=23125015]').each(function() { if (!$(this).data('initialized')) { new WowProfile.WorkStripView({ el: this, workJSON: {"id":23125015,"title":"The rich in historical perspective.

This paper relates to one of these research projects, the ERC-funded EINITE - Economic Inequality across Italy and Europe 1300-1800, but adopts a different perspective. In fact, recent findings about long-term trends in inequality showing that important changes occurred well before the Industrial Revolution, lead to wonder if, and how, also perception of inequality modified in time in relation to changes in inequality levels. This is still mostly unchartered territory for economic historians, and this paper intends to start exploring it. <br />On the grounds of available databases of medieval manuscripts and early modern printed treatises (such as Manuscripta Mediaevalia; Manus Online; In principio; Incunabula ISTC; Edit16; SBN; and others), the paper analyzes the occurrence of keywords in titles to produce quantitative analyses of the emergence of inequality/equality as a topic considered worthy of specific reflection. The considered keywords related to the notion of inequality include aequalitas; aequitas; distributio; inaequalitas; utilitas; and others. Subsequently, the paper analyzes in greater detail key treatises to show how the notions of inequality/equality slowly became keywords for authors, both lay and clergy, interested in economic matters. <br />The paper shows that indeed the perception of economic inequality as a matter worthy of specific analysis and reflection could be related to a long-term tendency to the increase in overall levels of economic inequality, a tendency that, if the tentative conclusions reached by the EINITE research project will be confirmed by its ongoing archival research, would date back to at least the time of the Black Death in the fourteenth century. The paper shows how the notions of equality and inequality (aequalitas and inaequalitas) appeared first in scholarly fields far from economic concerns, such as arithmetic (“omnis inaequalitas ex aequalitate procedit”), theology (equality between persons of the Trinity) or medicine (equality among bodily humors), and only slowly became charged with economic meanings. In fact, it is in the eighteenth century that we find a quick expansion in the use of such concepts, applied to the new social-political conditions of the European continent. Significantly, this process characterizes the decades immediately preceding the French Revolution of 1789, which, by adopting "égalité" as one of its signature ideals, greatly contributed to enrooting "inequality" as a keyword of Western culture, including of Western economics.</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--actions"><span class="work-strip-bookmark-button-container"></span><span class="wp-workCard--action visible-if-viewed-by-owner inline-block" style="display: none;"><span class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper" data-work-id="2156823"><a class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button" tabindex="0"><span><i class="fa fa-pencil"></i></span><span>Edit</span></a></span></span><span id="work-strip-rankings-button-container"></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--stats"><span><span><span class="js-view-count view-count u-mr2x" data-work-id="2156823"><i class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin"></i></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 2156823; window.Academia.workViewCountsFetcher.queue(workId, function (count) { var description = window.$h.commaizeInt(count) + " " + window.$h.pluralize(count, 'View'); $(".js-view-count[data-work-id=2156823]").text(description); $(".js-view-count[data-work-id=2156823]").attr('title', description).tooltip(); }); });</script></span></span><span><span class="percentile-widget hidden"><span class="u-mr2x work-percentile"></span></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 2156823; window.Academia.workPercentilesFetcher.queue(workId, function (percentileText) { var container = $(".js-work-strip[data-work-id='2156823']"); container.find('.work-percentile').text(percentileText.charAt(0).toUpperCase() + percentileText.slice(1)); container.find('.percentile-widget').show(); container.find('.percentile-widget').removeClass('hidden'); }); });</script></span><span><script>$(function() { new Works.PaperRankView({ workId: 2156823, container: "", }); });</script></span></div><div id="work-strip-premium-row-container"></div></div></div><script> require.config({ waitSeconds: 90 })(["https://a.academia-assets.com/assets/wow_profile-f77ea15d77ce96025a6048a514272ad8becbad23c641fc2b3bd6e24ca6ff1932.js","https://a.academia-assets.com/assets/work_edit-ad038b8c047c1a8d4fa01b402d530ff93c45fee2137a149a4a5398bc8ad67560.js"], function() { // from javascript_helper.rb var dispatcherData = {} if (false){ window.WowProfile.dispatcher = window.WowProfile.dispatcher || _.clone(Backbone.Events); dispatcherData = { dispatcher: window.WowProfile.dispatcher, downloadLinkId: "-1" } } $('.js-work-strip[data-work-id=2156823]').each(function() { if (!$(this).data('initialized')) { new WowProfile.WorkStripView({ el: this, workJSON: {"id":2156823,"title":"Inequality (un)perceived: the emergence of a discourse on economic inequality from the Middle Ages to the Age of Revolutions","translated_title":"","metadata":{"abstract":"Long-term developments of economic inequality in preindustrial societies are attracting a growing interest from economic historians worldwide, many of whom are also very active in collecting new archival data and in producing reliable measures of inequality.

This paper relates to one of these research projects, the ERC-funded EINITE - Economic Inequality across Italy and Europe 1300-1800, but adopts a different perspective. In fact, recent findings about long-term trends in inequality showing that important changes occurred well before the Industrial Revolution, lead to wonder if, and how, also perception of inequality modified in time in relation to changes in inequality levels. This is still mostly unchartered territory for economic historians, and this paper intends to start exploring it.\r\nOn the grounds of available databases of medieval manuscripts and early modern printed treatises (such as Manuscripta Mediaevalia; Manus Online; In principio; Incunabula ISTC; Edit16; SBN; and others), the paper analyzes the occurrence of keywords in titles to produce quantitative analyses of the emergence of inequality/equality as a topic considered worthy of specific reflection. The considered keywords related to the notion of inequality include aequalitas; aequitas; distributio; inaequalitas; utilitas; and others. Subsequently, the paper analyzes in greater detail key treatises to show how the notions of inequality/equality slowly became keywords for authors, both lay and clergy, interested in economic matters.\r\nThe paper shows that indeed the perception of economic inequality as a matter worthy of specific analysis and reflection could be related to a long-term tendency to the increase in overall levels of economic inequality, a tendency that, if the tentative conclusions reached by the EINITE research project will be confirmed by its ongoing archival research, would date back to at least the time of the Black Death in the fourteenth century.
