1 ECON Modern European Economic History John Lovett Code Name: Part 1: (70.5 points. Answer on this paper. 2.5 pts each unless noted.) 1. Is the time period from 1500 to 1699 modernity by the criteria described in this class? a. Yes b. No c to 1599 is not to 1699 is. 2. A growth rate of Real GDP/Capita of 1% is significant because: a. income roughly doubles in a lifetime. Living standard changes are easily noticeable to humans. b. people can reproduce at or near the maximum biological rate without reducing living standards. c. nation-states can steadily increase their tax revenues without driving living standards back to subsistence levels. d. low income nations will converge on high income nations from below if both groups have a growth rate of Real GDP/Capita at or near 1%/year. 3. Smithian Growth is growth resulting from: a. a cascading cycle of technological changes. One change in technology leads to another and so on. Smithian growth has been called the nuclear fission of economic growth. b. increased specialization and division of labor but NOT due to significant changes in technology. c. healthy competition between states to have the best infrastructure and economic system. d. limiting population growth by changing social norms. Examples include people waiting until their late 20 s to get married. 4. Today, Nicaragua s Real GDP/Capita is $2,200. What will Nicaragua s GDP/capita be in 12 years if it grows at 2%/year? Write a numerical formula below. You do NOT have to solve it. 5. Today, Honduras s Real GDP/Capita is $4,000. What will Honduras s GDP/capita be in 40 years if it grows at 3.5%/year? Use a rule of thumb to approximate the answer. 6. How well does Smithian Growth explain changes in living standards over the past 250 years? a. By itself, Smithian Growth is limited. Most of the growth over the last 250 years is not well-described by Smithian Growth. b. Smithian Growth describes the experience of rich nations very well. It does not, however, describe the experience of poor nations well. c. Smithian Growth describes the experience of highly capitalist very well. It does not, however, describe the experience of nations with lots of government planning well. d. Most of the changes in living standards and technology over the past 250 years are easily characterized as Smithian Growth. 1

2 ECON Modern European Economic History John Lovett 7. According to our readings and lecture, what was true of living standards in rich versus poor nations around the year 1400? a. The relative difference between rich and poor nations was slightly larger in 1400 than today (ex. 16:1 back then versus 8:1 today). b. The relative difference between rich and poor was much smaller (ex. 3:1) in It was only in the last 200 years or so that the gap between rich and poor greatly increased (ex. 25:1). c. The relative difference between rich and poor 1400 was roughly the same as it is today. The gap between rich and poor opened up around the year 0 CE and has been roughly the same ever since. 8. Leadernam s GDP/capita ($35,000) is 5x that of Followerstan ($7,000). Then, starting in 2021, Followerstan adopts a legal, educational, and political system very similar to that of Leadernam. What Leadern's GDP/Capita does economic theory predict will happen to the ratio of over the next few decades? Followers' GDP/Capita a. It decreases (ex. 2:1) b. It remains roughly the same (5:1) c. It increases (ex. 8:1) 9. Below are four graphs. One of them plots the actual (estimated) World Income per Capita and World Population between 500 BCE and Each small dot is one century with some of the dots being labelled. Based on what was taught in class, which is the correct graph? a. c. c. b. d. d. 10. What, in the context of this course, is meant by Enclosure : a. Running short of land for each person because of very high population growth.. b. The Ottoman Empire s attempt to monopolize the trade between Europe and India by controlling the Middle East. c. Restricting a nation s ability to access markets through blockade and military force. d. The privatization of lands that were previously farmed using communal labor. 2

3 11. What is the putting out system? It is a system in which a. governments decide what will be produced (ex. military goods). The actual production of the goods, however, are done by the private sector. b. feudal lords would retain title to a piece of land, but make it available to peasants (i.e. put it out ) in exchange for approximately half the crop c. an entrepreneur distributes or puts out goods to many homes. In the homes the goods are processed. The individual workers then return the good to the entrepreneur. d. feudal lords would rent or put out their peasants to other lords 12. (2 pt) The putting out system illustrates that: a. commercial advances were possible under feudalism. Feudalism was not inherently anti-commercial. b. high levels of specialization are possible without production being centralized in factories. c. differences in land ownership explain much of why some countries became rich and others did not. 13. At right is a graph showing the GDP/capita of the country of Alphastan over a 50 year period. Betanam s GDP/capita for the starting year is shown, but the rest of the Betanam data is not. Prior to year 0, Alphastan and Betanam had many differences. Beginning in year 0, however, Alphastan becomes very much like Betanam. Starting in year 0, Alphastan and Betanam have the same savings rate, same rate of population growth, access to the same technology, and very similar laws and institutions. Draw a curve showing Betanam s GDP/capita according to the Solow Growth Model (according to our readings and lecture). Real GDP/Capita $30,000 $25,000 $20,000 $15,000 $10,000 $5,000 $0 0 Betanam s starting Real GDP/capita Alphastan 30 Years from Start Roughly when did nation-states first arise (according to our readings and lecture)? a. 55 BCE 300 CE b CE c CE d CE e CE f CE 15.

Europe s colonization was a symptom of her developmental superiority but did not actually cause the Europe/Asia divergence. c. European colonizers destroyed good native institutions and replaced them with very corrupt institutions. Because of this, European colonization was a major cause of the Europe/Asia divergence. 29. (2 pt) According to lecture, what, is the major significance of the Agricultural Revolution that preceded the Industrial Revolution was? a. Feudalism finally began to break up. Small farmers could now make enough money they did not need help from a large landowner. b. Most of the agricultural machines that were invented directly led to machines that were used in other industries. For example, the seed drill evolved into the textile industry s power loom. c. Labor was freed up for other purposes. A nation could now have lots of workers in industry instead of agriculture without having them starve.

6 Part 2: Answer 1 of the following 2 essays (30 points) 1. Describe Europe s Agricultural Revolution which preceded the Industrial Revolution. In particular: Indicate the approximate dates of this Agricultural Revolution. Tell the reader why the Agricultural Revolution is of importance, especially to someone studying the Industrial Revolution. Describe the major institutional changes that took place over this time period. What happened and how did these institutional changes affect agricultural productivity? Describe some of the technical changes (new techniques, equipment, etc.) that occurred over this time period. How and why did each change affect productivity? 2. In the given time, write an essay on how European colonization was related to the Great Divergence. Given that you only have 20 to 25 or so minutes to write this essay do not try to cover all the ways European colonization may have affected the Great Divergence. A brief overview of the basic position may be in order. Do not, however, try to cover everything in depth. Instead, pick a point of view that covers at least two of the theories discussed in class. Describe your position, and the reasoning and evidence behind it. Make sure you include some historical examples to support your position.
