The reconstruction of geographic granular evidence in historical perspective is a significant issue affecting several relevant streams of literature. Reconstructing homogenous statistical units at the municipal level allows for a deeper understanding of local dynamics, at least for population, which is the immediate economic proxy to untangling long-run development patterns, as population movements are tightly linked to economic events and could lead as a result to the development of agglomeration effects in the long run. However, numerous political and administrative changes have affected territories, their inhabitants and, inevitably, the historical sources on which we historians draw to reconstruct population figures. Therefore, strategies are necessary to confront these changes and the problems they represent both when obtaining data from historical sources and when carrying out historical analyses based on it. In this regard, we can say that this type of research often involves reconciling the irreconcilable.
Thus, this workshop proposal aims at bringing together scholars from various disciplines interested in reconstructing historical figures of population and, when available, measures on other socio-economic aspects of society (such as employment or literacy) for European countries by introducing the pseudomunicipalities or constant borders approach that would allow for the use of such data from an intertemporal perspective. We believe that this could be a promising starting point for constructing a network devoted to the fine-grained reconstruction of European local population in the long run. Contributions that focus on methods or empirical applications regarding all European countries, regions and time periods are encouraged.
Keynote lectures will be delivered by Diego Puga, Professor of Economics at CEMFI, and David S. Reher, Universidad Complutense de Madrid.
There is no workshop fee. The organization will provide accommodation for one presenting author per paper. Meals are included, and there will be food and refreshments available during the breaks. Travel expenses cannot be covered.
Deadline for submission: May 17, 2024

The Department of Economic History would be pleased to consider applications for the ESRC Postdoctoral Fellowship (2024).

The economic history of Eastern Europe is sometimes written as that of an isolated, peripheral region. In this workshop, we want to emphasise the historical connections between Eastern and Western Europe, as well as to other regions of the world. By reassessing the transnational circulation of people, goods, ideas, techniques, diseases, institutions and other factors, this workshop aims to highlight innovative work that uses new archival data, advanced microdata, or techniques of causal analysis to offer a truly integrated East-West perspective. We also celebrate research that integrates insights and research techniques from multiple disciplines to redefine our understanding of Europe’s complex shared economic, industrial, ideological, and political past.
The aim of this conference is to explore the varied origins and practices about planning in a European context since 1945. We understand ‘planning’ in broad terms as attempts to coordinate economic policies and organise ex ante the economic development of a given jurisdiction (state or group of states). We also understand ‘European context’ in a broad sense, including not only the European Economic Community/European Union but also initiatives that aimed beyond its borders.
There are lively debates in both economic history and contemporary debates about the continued or new relevance of planning (Monnet, 2022). Similarly, the historiography of European integration is a very dynamic field that explored the issue of planning in different contexts (Christian, Kott and Matejka, 2018). What this conference intends to focus on is not only the development of ideas about planning but also importantly on the practices of planning in an international context.
What do national experiences in Europe and their comparison tell us about the
nature and practice of planning? What phenomena of transnational circulation of ideas and imitation between national experiences occurred after 1945 and how did they condition the ascending and descending phases of the planning age? To what extent was planning part of the development of the European Economic Community? What were the obstacles to planning in the EEC/EU? What role did Economic and Monetary Union (EMU) play in the debates on planning? How was the idea of planning/programming abandoned in the 1980s, both at national and international level?
Topics of papers presented at the conference may include, but are not limited to:
- Proposals and initiatives to develop planning/programming in a European context, both at national and transnational level
The conference - organized by the Alcide De Gasperi Research Centre - will take place on 16-17 September 2024 at the European University Institute in Florence.
Eligibility and how to apply:
PhD students, early career researchers, and established researchers are invited to submit proposals.
Applicants should submit an abstract of no more than 500 words outlining their proposal, and a short CV by 15 May 2024 to Miriam Curci, Miriam.Curci@
Please note that should your institution be unable to do so, conference funds are available to support your accommodation and travel expenses.
For further information please contact Miriam Curci, Miriam.Curci@eui.eu.

The recent Nobel Prize awarded to prof. Claudia Goldin highlights the importance of understanding the evolution and drivers of gender differences in our societies. The journal Investigaciones de Historia Económica – Economic History Research (IHE-EHR) is preparing a special issue to honour the work of prof. Goldin and present novel research on the causes and consequences of gender disparities. The editors invite contributions on a wide array of topics that may include (among others) some of the following themes:
- The long-run evolution and drivers of female labour outcomes (e.g. wages, labor force participation, labor conditions), demographic outcomes (e.g. fertility, nuptiality, morbidity, mortality) or educational outcomes (e.g. enrolment, years of schooling).
- The consequences of gender disparities for living standards, household economic strategies, etc.
- Female entrepreneurship.
- The political consequences of female political representation.
- The gendered impacts of welfare states and tax systems.
- The interaction of gender with class, race and other factors in generating unequal outcomes.
