“…Some studies found no relationship between these variables (Malenbaum, 1953;Fisher and Temin, 1970;Cooley and DeCanio, 1977), where some others found such relationship (Harley, 1978). Harley (1978) claimed that the reason for the failure of the previous studies to find such relationship was because there was no attention to spatial distribution of prices in these studies.…”

This study analyses the effect of farmers' price responsiveness and railroad development on acreage decisions in the late 19th century. A potential simultaneity between these determinants was mentioned in some earlier studies, but never examined. This study sheds some light on these relationships by employing a simultaneous equations model. The results show that acreage, prices and railroad mileage were jointly determined in the late nineteenth century. Furthermore, farmers were very responsive to wheat prices in their wheat acreage decisions in the eastern and northeastern regions when endogeneity effect is considered. In the western and southern regions, however, farmers were not responsive to wheat prices in their wheat acreage decisions. On the other hand, they were very responsive to corn and animal prices in their corn acreage decisions. Railroads were one important determinant that affected farmers' acreage decisions positively in every region.

Recientemente, G. Tortella ha, recordado el acierto del llamado enfoque geográfico-ecológico de la escuela histórica francesa, en general, y de F. Braudel en particular '. Según el profesor Tortella, si queremos comprender el problema del atraso económico de la España contemporánea, es necesario que entronquemos este caso particular dentro del más general de la región mediterránea y no estudiarlo como un fenómeno aislado .El objetivo de este artículo es, en primer lugar, ofrecer una visión de la crisis sufrida por la economía agraria de una provincia andaluza a finales del siglo XIX, concretándonos en los tres cultivos mediterráneos -cereal, olivar y vid-que, tal vez, protagonizaron de modo más destacado dicha crisis. En segundo lugar, el presente trabajo ha buscado un enfoque geográfico provincial que, en el caso de Málaga, permite observar características generales de una economía mediterránea y, a la vez, presenta particularidades conocidas, como la depresión vitivinícola def último veintenio del siglo xix. Por último, se intenta proporcionar una imagen cuantitativa de la agricultura malagueña, en los tres cultivos mencionados, con datos de superficie y rendimientos.

“…However, in nearly all European countries wheat consumption began to grow significantly from the mid-1850s onwards. Data from Malembaum's seminal study on the world wheat economy (Malembaum, 1953) clearly shows that this trend lasted until World War II in most European economies, although the tendency leveled off in the most advanced countries over the interwar period. In order to explain why wheat displaced other staples to become the overwhelmingly preferred grain in Europe, Collins provided several reasons.…”

Why wheat? International patterns of wheat demand, 1939–2010

Almost half the calories consumed globally today derive directly from grain; of this, about a quarter comes from wheat. Thanks to international trade, wheat is widely consumed in places where its production is virtually impossible, thus making the functioning of wheat markets unique in its importance for world food security. Yet it was not always like that: in historical terms, the globalization of wheat consumption has been a relatively new phenomenon. The aim of this work is twofold. First, it identifies major trends in wheat consumption across different groups of countries from 1939 to 2010. Second, it offers an informed explanation of those trends.
