摘要

本文分析了1500-1650年间印度实际工资的演变。它认为，印度和西北欧之间的大分化早在16世纪初就已经可见了，这是通过使用一个新的数据集，该数据集包含2710个独立的观察结果，反映了印度西部9个地区的76000多份已支付工资。这些工资被大米价格和一篮子商品压低了这意味着16世纪到17世纪早期的生活水平很低。与欧洲相比，这些实际工资代表着相对较低的生活水平，比日本高不了多少。

After da Gama: real wages in Western India, c. 1500–c. 1650

The article analyses the evolution of Indian real wages for the period 1500–1650. It argues that the Great Divergence between India and north-western Europe was already visible by the early 1500s by making use of a new dataset of 2,710 separate observations, reflecting over 76,000 paid-out wages, for nine locations in Western India. These wages were deflated by rice prices and a basket of goods and imply low and declining standards of living over the sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries. In comparison with Europe, these real wages represent comparatively low living standards, and they were not much above those in Japan.
