摘要

经济学家和一些经济史学家否定了人口主义关于人口增长对欧洲 "价格革命 "负有责任的假设。他们将通货膨胀归咎于美洲发现后白银的流入。根据 1500-1700 年英国的证据，我们表明这种对人口主义立场的否定是不符合证据的。此外，无论过去对人口论立场的辩护有什么弱点，它都可以很容易地建立在合理的经济基础之上。我们还批判性地研究了货币主义对价格革命的解释。这两个论点都很重要，而且相互兼容。

The Controversy over European Inflation in 1500–1700: Precious Metals or Population? The English Evidence

Economists and some economic historians dismiss the populationist hypothesis about responsibility of population growth for the European “Price Revolution”. They attribute the inflation instead to inflow of silver following discovery of the Americas. Based on English evidence in 1500–1700, we show that this dismissal of the populationist position flies in the face of the evidence. Further, whatever the weaknesses of past defenses of the populationist stand, it can be easily framed on a sound economic basis. We also examine critically the monetarist explanation of the Price Revolution. Both theses are jointly important and compatible.
