"This paper uses a simple economic model of contract choice to
explain the growth of sharecropping in sixteenth - and seventeenth -
century France— a topic that figures in much of the social and economic
history of the period. The theory turns out to fit both qualitative
and quantitative evidence, and although the results are as yet only
preliminary, the theory does provide a better account of the spread of
sharecropping than the explanations early modern historians have
tended to rely upon." |
