  • Fertility and Modernity*
    Fertility and Modernity Enrico Spolaore Romain Wacziarg Tufts University and NBER UCLA and NBER May 2021 Abstract We investigate the determinants of the fertility decline in Europe from 1830 to 1970 using a newly constructed dataset of linguistic distances between European regions. We …nd that the fertility decline resulted from a gradual di¤usion of new fertility behavior from French-speaking regions to the rest of Europe. We observe that societies with higher education, lower infant mortality, higher urbanization, and higher population density had lower levels of fertility during the 19th and early 20th century. However, the fertility decline took place earlier and was initially larger in communities that were culturally closer to the French, while the fertility transition spread only later to societies that were more distant from the cultural frontier. This is consistent with a process of social in‡uence, whereby societies that were linguistically and culturally closer to the French faced lower barriers to learning new information and adopting new behavior and attitudes regarding fertility control.

ISSN 1435-9812 i The European Centre for Minority Issues (ECMI) is a non-partisan institution founded in 1996 by the Governments of the Kingdom of Denmark, the Federal Republic of Germany, and the German State of Schleswig-Holstein. ECMI was established in Flensburg, at the heart of the Danish-German border region, in order to draw from the encouraging example of peaceful coexistence between minorities and majorities achieved here. ECMI’s aim is to promote interdisciplinary research on issues related to minorities and majorities in a European perspective and to contribute to the improvement of inter-ethnic relations in those parts of Western and Eastern Europe where ethno- political tension and conflict prevail. ECMI Working Papers are written either by the staff of ECMI or by outside authors commissioned by the Centre. As ECMI does not propagate opinions of its own, the views expressed in any of its publications are the sole responsibility of the author concerned.

  • Country Report: France
    Country Report: France 2020 Update 2020 Update Acknowledgements & Methodology The 2020 update of this report was written by Laurent Delbos and Claire Tripier at Forum réfugiés – Cosi and edited by ECRE. Forum réfugiés-Cosi wishes to thank all those individuals and organisations who shared their expertise to contribute or check the information gathered during the research. Particular thanks are owed to many Forum réfugiés-Cosi colleagues who have shared their practical experience on the right of asylum in France – which have been key to feed concrete reality-checks and observations into this report; to the two lawyers who have taken the time to share their views on the French system; to the staff of France terre d’asile, the Anafé and the UNHCR Paris office for their expert and constructive feedback provided for the initial report and finally to ECRE for its support throughout the drafting process. Forum réfugiés- Cosi would also like to thank the European Asylum, Migration and Integration Fund (AMIF) for co-financing its awareness-raising missions which allowed us to provide additional time to research and draft this report. The findings presented in this report stem from background desk research, interviews with field practitioners and lawyers, as well as feedback from French NGOs and the Paris-based UNHCR office and finally statistics shared by the French authorities. Caveat: In France, asylum policies – including reception procedures – are largely under prefectural execution. This review of practice is mostly based on observations in the departments of Ile de France, Rhône, Puy-de-Dôme, Haute- Garonne and Alpes-Maritimes. However, the conclusions presented in this report on the concrete implementation of asylum policies have been cross-checked and triangulated with observations of these practices in other regions and are supported by findings presented in other reports – be they official or drafted by civil society organisations.

  • The Effects of Land Redistribution: Evidence from the French Revolution
    The Effects of Land Redistribution: Evidence from the French Revolution ∗ Theresa Finley † Raphaël Franck ‡ Noel D. Johnson § Susquehanna University Hebrew University of Jerusalem George Mason University This Version: June 17, 2018 Abstract: This study exploits the confiscation and auctioning off of Church property that occurred during the French Revolution to assess the role played by transaction costs in delaying the reallocation of property rights in the aftermath of fundamental institutional reform. French districts with a greater proportion of land redistributed during the Revolution experienced higher levels of agricultural productivity in 1841 and 1852 as well as more investment in irrigation and more efficient land use. We trace these increases in productivity to an increase in land inequality associated with the Revolutionary auction process. We also show how the benefits associated with the head-start given to districts with more Church land initially, and thus greater land redistribution by auction during the Revolution, dissipated over the course of the nineteenth century as other districts gradually overcame the transaction costs associated with reallocating the property rights associated with the feudal system. Keywords: Institutions, Property Rights, French Revolution, Coase Theorem JEL Codes: N53, O43, P14, D47 ∗We are grateful for comments from Philip Hoffman, Mark Koyama, James Robinson, Jean-Laurent Rosenthal, Nic Ziebarth, and participants in the January 2017 George Mason University Workshop on Economic History and Development as well as seminar participants at Wake Forest University.

  • Collective Action
    Collective Action in Winegrowing Regions: A Comparison of Burgundy and the Midi - David R. Weir July 1976 CRSO Working Paper #I37 Copies available through: The Center for ~esear.chon Social Organization, The University of Michigan, 330 Packard Street 8214 Ann Arbor, MI 48109 .Collective Action in Winegrowing Regions: A Coniparison of Burgundy and the Midi David R. Weir July 1976 Introduction The winegrower's revolt of 1907 is a familiar topic to students of rural rebellion. It has prompted excellent studies of the political characteris- tics of winegrowers in the Midi for the period 1850-1914. This. wealth of scholarly research on one region (the largest in France in terms of quantity of wine produced) has no counterpart for any of the other great winegrowing regions. This paper seeks to fill in a part of that void by examining the political activities of winegrowers in Burgundy in this period. French winegrowers are generally characterized as radical, so the historian might logically expect to find that there were incidents in other regions similar to those in the Midi, if smaller in scale. This expecta- tion turns out to be false for Burgundy, as suggested by the report of the 4 prefect of the Cote dlOr for June of 1907. The events of the Midi dominated political concerns in my department during the month of June, 1907. The people of the Cote dlOr received the news of the troubles in those departments with more surprise and curiosity than sympathy. Our people are too calm, too respectful of the law to let themselves be influenced by the Midi winegrowers .

The story captures the turbulent atmosphere of the period, when ordinary citizens would suddenly find themselves in danger because of their political beliefs. Emilie is a member of the moderate Girondist Party. As the story opens, she has just escaped execution by members of the more radical Jacobin Party, who have seized control of the revolution and believe the Girondists must be put down. milie was not alone in into the narrow passage.

  • Île De France
    Voice of the Mayors Jean Paul Huchon Île-de-France (Paris Region) The First European Metropolis Voice of Jean Paul Huchon the Mayors 1 About Voice of the Mayors Celebrating its thirtieth anniversary, METROPOLIS wishes to leverage the unique experience of its members, represented by the mayors of the major metrop- olises, presidents and governors of metropolitan regions. Too often, the expertise of these high-ranking officials is lost once their term has come to an end. However, at a time when global urban development is quickening its pace, their experience is more beneficial than ever for the new generations of local decision-makers, the entire spectrum of public and private local development stakeholders and partners in the international community. In its capacity as a network of the world’s major metropolises, METROPO- LIS also seeks to make an active contribution to the current international debate concerning the revision of the Millennium Development Goals, negotiations on cli- mate change and the preparations for the United Nations Conference on Housing and Sustainable Urban Development (Habitat III). This is how the idea for Voice of the Mayors came into being, as a wealth of first-hand testimonies from local and regional leaders whose experience de- serves to be recounted and disseminated. Bequeathing this legacy also conveys the willingess of METROPOLIS members to share their experiences and to enhance the exchange of knowledge, a concerted effort to contribute towards shaping sus- tainable urban development worldwide. Upon the creation of METROPOLIS in 1984, the 14 founding members expressed their desire to work together to strengthen their mutual capacities to manage their cities.
