In response to this, national collections of historical statistics began to make their appearance from the late 1940s onwards. Towards the end of the 1960s, it seemed that the time was ripe for gathering together the main statistical series for a" major countries of the world, and a beginning was made with those of Europe, for which there was more material available than for most others. 1 This was followed by the first edition of the present work2 , which did not include Oceania, and International Historical Statistics: The Americas and Australasia.3 The objective of these books has been to provide economists and historians with a wide range of statistical data without the difficulty of identifying sources, of obtaining access to them, and the often considerable labour of extracting the figures from many different places and, one hopes, ensuring that sometimes variously defined figures are transformed until they form part of comparable series. In a" these continent-wide compilations, the sources relied on have been, for the most part, official national and international abstracts of statistics, rather than detailed publications. As a result, there are more breaks in continuity than are strictly necessary, since compilers of abstracts are continually trying to improve coverage and presentation; and whilst older, long-running series may often still be put together from detailed sources, the process is time-consuming and sometimes requires access to publications which are not readily available outside their country of origin. However, I am assured by many who have used the earlier editions that these breaks are not often of as much importance as they seem to be to the compiler. Even more irritating, to the compiler at any rate, are the gaps which sometimes appear in series, especially when he knows that they are not the result of a failure on the part of officials to collect and publish the data, but of his own failure to find them. However, there are sharply diminishing returns to search effort after a time, and it has always seemed to me to be best to publish the material that has been collected when it probably comes to something like 99 per cent of a" of that which is, in principle, available. I shall, of course, be as grateful for any help which users of this work can give me in improving the coverage for the future as I am for that which has improved the present edition. Whilst for the countries of Europe-and even some in the Americas-there is a variety of statistical material going back into the eighteenth century, if not earlier, it is only for India, Indonesia, Japan and Australia in the continents with which this volume is concerned that there is anything of much use before the middle of the nineteenth century.4 On the other hand, the number of countries for which statistics had been published by the 1960s or 1970s had become very much larger in Asia and, especially, Africa, than in other continents. Some of these countries are very sma", and in order to keep the volume to a manageable size, it has been decided to leave these out of most tables. The main exceptions have been the table showing overall populations, and those tables in sections C and 0 for which some sma" country has been a significant world producer or exporter. The basic criterion of smallness for this purpose has been a population around 1970 of less than a million. A large part of the former Soviet Union lies in the continent of Asia and should, logica"y, be included in this volume. It has, however, already been included in the European volume and repetition did not seem desirable. Clearly in future the former Soviet republics in Asia will have to be included here. Another anomaly is Hawaii, which became one of the United States in 1960. It has been included in this volume up to that date wherever its statistics justify, but not subsequently. It should not need to be said that there are pitfalls for the unwary user of statistics, and this is scarcely the place to attempt to summarise those traps of which any introductory textbook will warn. However, there are certain problems which are of particular prominence in historical statistics, to which attention may properly be drawn.

  • Report on Entrepreneurship: Niger Catalystas
    Report on Entrepreneurship: Niger Catalystas Commissioned by the Netherlands Enterprise Agency RVO Scoping Mission Report on Entrepreneurship: Niger (August 2019 | Amsterdam, the Netherlands) The following report was prepared by Catalystas Consulting, an intersectional feminist international development consulting firm. The report aims to provide a snapshot and an overview of the programs, stakeholders, and opportunities related to youth entrepreneurship (18-35 years old) in Niger. This report is based on a two-week field mission undertaken by Catalystas in June 2019 as part of a broader mission to provide insight into the needs and opportunities of youth employment and entrepreneurship in Niger, Mali, and Burkina Faso. The purpose of this mission and this report is to help the Dutch government to support existing structures and/or develop initiatives to be put in place by other local or international actors. Special attention was paid to young women in the areas of productivity and agricultural value chains. The main objective in undertaking this country-by-country entrepreneurial evaluation and in writing this report is to highlight the programs and initiatives which could be extended in the secondary cities of Maradi and Tahoua, two of the target cities in Niger for Dutch policy. The following report consists of a narrative of approximately 25 pages and five appendices that will provide readers with sufficient insight into the various challenges and opportunities of the target areas and the country. The report is also a first step in informing policymakers and embassy staff of the many opportunities and challenges that need to be considered for effective intervention in the Nigerien entrepreneurial context.

  • Income Inequality in French West Africa: Building Social Tables for Pre- Independence Senegal and Ivory Coast
    Col.lecció d’Economia E19/396 Income Inequality in French West Africa: Building Social Tables for Pre- Independence Senegal and Ivory Coast Guido Alfani Federico Tadei UB Economics Working Papers 2019/396 Income Inequality in French West Africa: Building Social Tables for Pre-Independence Senegal and Ivory Coast Abstract: Sub-Saharan Africa is home today to some of the most unequal countries in the world, in Southern and Central Africa, as well as others that are close to the world average, in Western Africa. Yet, there is no consensus regarding the historical factors that led to such a situation. Given limited data on income distribution during colonial times, we do not know whether present-day inequality patterns can be traced back to the colonial period and which role was played by colonial institutions. Most of our knowledge comes from information on British colonies, while territories subjected to other colonial powers are much less well known. To address this gap, we analyze trends in income inequality for colonies in French West Africa, building social tables for Senegal and Ivory Coast during the last decades of colonial rule. We find that income inequality was high during the colonial period, because of the huge income differential between Africans and European settlers (especially in Senegal) and of high inequality within the African population (especially in the Ivory Coast). Nevertheless, it tended to reduce during colonial rule – but the trend inverted after independence. Our findings cast in a new light the connection between colonialism, extractive institutions, high inequality and inequality extraction ratios. JEL Codes: N17, O43.

References in publications to Discussion Papers should be cleared with the author to protect the tentative character of these papers. Since the end of the nineteenth century the economic fortunes of the Ivory Coast have depended on a succession of export crops. As along other areas of the West African Coast the most important exports in 1900 were palm oil and kernals. While exports of these products remained roughly constant until World Har II, at which time they declined as the result of competition in supply from more profitable exports, the impetus l for growth came from other sources.
