摘要

摘要本文首次计算了1825年开普殖民地移民农民的农场小麦产量。我们可以这样做，因为我们现在可以获得当年的完整的税务普查记录。虽然整个殖民地的小麦产量有一些差异，可能是不同环境因素的结果，但我们发现地区内的差异要大得多。我们进行了各种测试来解释这种巨大的差异。令人惊讶的是，我们发现奴隶劳动没有解释力。然而，农活有助于根据生产率区分农民。

Wheat productivity in the Cape Colony in 1825: evidence from newly transcribed tax censuses

ABSTRACT We calculate, for the first time, farm-level wheat productivity for Cape Colony settler farmers in 1825. We can do so because we now have access to a fully transcribed tax census for that year. Although there is some variation in wheat productivity across the Colony, probably a result of the varying environmental factors, we find much larger variation within districts. We perform various tests to explain this large variation. We find, surprisingly, that slave labour has no explanatory power. Khoe labour, however, helps to differentiate farmers according to their productivity.
