摘要

本文利用新的档案资料来研究前工业化时期意大利南部（那不勒斯王国）经济不平等的长期趋势。本文以普利亚地区的社区为样本，重建了1550-1800年间财富不平等的长期趋势，并对该地区的总体不平等水平进行了估计。这些估计值与意大利和欧洲其他地区或州最近公布的估计值进行了比较。本文还重构了18世纪中期的收入分配总量，并对财富和收入不平等进行了比较。总的来说，那不勒斯王国的证据表明，在近代早期，经济不平等的趋势持续增长。由于这段时期主要是沙特经济停滞或衰退的时期，本文为有关经济增长与不平等变化之间长期关系的辩论提供了进一步的见解。

Long-term trends in income and wealth inequality in southern Italy. The Kingdom of Naples (Apulia), sixteenth to eighteenth centuries

This paper uses new archival sources to study the long-term tendencies in economic inequality in preindustrial southern Italy (Kingdom of Naples). The paper reconstructs long-term trends in wealth inequality for the period 1550–1800 for a sample of communities in the region Apulia and produces estimates of overall inequality levels across the region. These estimates are compared with those which have recently been published for other Italian and European regions or states. The article also reconstructs the total income distribution for the mid-eighteenth century, then comparing wealth and income inequality. Overall, the evidence for the Kingdom of Naples suggests a tendency for economic inequality to grow continuously over the early modern period. As this was mostly a period of economic stagnation or decline for the Kingdom, the article provides further insights to the debate on the long-run relationship between economic growth and inequality change.
