{"title":"Responsibility, trust and gender in the economic decision-making of peasant households: enclosure in Southwest Finland 1760–1820","authors":"Kirsi Laine","doi":"10.1080/03585522.2021.1931430","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/03585522.2021.1931430","url":null,"abstract":"ABSTRACT This article studies gender roles in the economic decision-making of peasant farms in Southwest Finland in the late eighteenth century and the early nineteenth century. This is a new perspective on enclosure and a new context to study gender roles in economic matters. Decisions concerning enclosure were primarily made by male household heads. Exceptions to the decision-making norm open up a perspective onto a more detailed picture of gendered responsibility in economic matters in peasant households. The results show that the responsibility of a male head of a household for making decisions regarding the land was binding. Whereas men used representatives in extremely exceptional circumstances only, a half of the female household heads used a representative at least at some point. Both men and women primarily trusted the younger generation when it came to choosing representatives. Women attended enclosure meetings rarely, but when they did, their participation was not questioned. Women acted just like other stakeholders at the meeting.","PeriodicalId":43624,"journal":{"name":"SCANDINAVIAN ECONOMIC HISTORY REVIEW","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2021-08-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48003485","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is definitely worth reading for economic and political historians. It was first published in 2015 and came online in 2020. The editors clearly state in their introduction that Norway historically has been a trading economy, with international trade as an important factor for the economic, regional and cultural development, as a way of living. They also stress that openness when it comes to trade is part of its national identity. Despite public announcements of a high degree of political agreement in international trade questions, the editors argue that this politics contains considerable disagreements and conflicts of interests. This, in fact, represents the red thread of the book. The book holds a successful inter-disciplinary exercise with emphasis on economics, history and political science. It discusses political conditions for trade policy and economic consequences, all in a historical perspective. WTO is central as it stresses differences between multilateral and bilateral trade agreements. It is meant as both an academic analysis of the past and an input for future debate on trade policy. The editors’ departure is that classical conflicts of interests within trade policy often exist between offensive and defensive interests. The first ones have strong competitive power, and thus, prefer a liberal trade policy with open borders, when defensive industries with weak competitive power fear competition, and thus, demand protection of domestic markets. Since the 1970s, the Norwegian both the industrial and industrial policy developments have made fish and fish farming one of the ‘offensive’ actors, when agriculture and textile industries represent ‘defensive’ actor. Other offensive industries are oil and gas and maritime and marine services, which, however, are less impacted by trade policy. Here one could have elaborated more on the development of fisheries from being a defensive to an offensive industry.","PeriodicalId":43624,"journal":{"name":"SCANDINAVIAN ECONOMIC HISTORY REVIEW","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2021-08-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42250978","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Nils Karsson, for his part, examines the views of the Swedish economist Erik Dahmén (1906–2005) and the way Dahmén emphasised the importance of empirical research in the discussion of economic theory. In the last method-oriented chapter,Håkan Lindgren examines the distribution of household wealth and the importance of including negative wealth in the calculation. None of these chapters focus solely on methodological issues; instead, they emphasise reflection on method and research trends. For the most part, these perspectives are related to sources for and perspectives on historical research. The following five chapters are qualitative case studies with empirical contributions to specific discussions. First,Martin Jes Iversen looks at the networking of shipping companies during the first globalisation. According to him, networks were important means of operating in international trade before formal institutions for cross-border trade. Bengt Åke Berg examines the Swedish sales cooperative’s fight against producer cartels. As a result, the co-op expanded its operations to the manufacturing of margarine, rubber products and flour, becoming a cooperative conglomerate. Jari Ojala, by contrast, examines the problems of export shipping and changes in the logic of Finnish shipping. According to him, Finnish paper industry exports moved to the modern industrial shipping model in the 1970s. This meant that transportation specialised in certain products, such as paper, largely abandoning the traditional mindset of maritime transportation. Jan Ottosson looks at interlocking directorates and boards between companies. In particular, he examines the activities of banks’ representatives in corporate governance. In the last article, Paloma Fernández Pérez and Aurelia Hernández discuss the role of legislation and taxation in the generational change of Spanish family businesses. According to them, taxation has a long-term impact on family-owned companies of different sizes. The peer-reviewed chapters are of high quality and represent good state-of-the-art research in their respective areas. Despite their strengths, these chapters are individual research papers and do not specifically seek to compile the latest trends or outline future directions for research. Together, however, they offer a rather interesting cross-section of current research themes. In my opinion, the book is interesting precisely because I became familiar with a rather wide range of different topics, while also finding some new perspectives related to my own interests. The book, which includes several very different types of chapters, is especially suitable for a reader who wants to remain aware of Nordic research currents. In this respect, it will certainly be of interest to many of the Scandinavian Economic History Review’s readers. On the whole, the book leaves the reader with a good-natured, somewhat optimistic and even downright encouraging ","PeriodicalId":43624,"journal":{"name":"SCANDINAVIAN ECONOMIC HISTORY REVIEW","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2021-08-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43174023","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We investigate the labour market performance of internal migrants in Sweden around the turn of the last century; a period of industrialisation and increasing migration. We add to the literature in two ways: first by focusing on earnings instead of occupational attainment; second by extending the scope beyond the prevailing focus on men by also considering women. To assess how migrants fared compared to locals, we use detailed matched firm-individual data covering three manufacturing industries which varied in terms of production, organisation, and composition of the workforce. We find that migrants, irrespective of gender, performed well in that their earnings were higher than those of locals in general and of co-workers in the same firm. These premia are consistent with a Roy model in which migrants’ sort into locations where returns to skills match individual ability. An increase in both hours worked and effort further explains the observed earnings premium among female migrants.","PeriodicalId":43624,"journal":{"name":"SCANDINAVIAN ECONOMIC HISTORY REVIEW","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2021-08-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43031797","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
