  • Title: Was there an urban height penalty in Spain, 1840-1913?
    Author: Martínez-Carrión JM, Moreno-Lázaro J.
    Journal: Econ Hum Biol; 2007 Mar; 5(1):144-64. PubMed ID: 17182293.
    Abstract:
    We explore whether there was an urban height penalty in Spain during the period of early industrialization from 1840 to 1913, using data from Spain's Southeastern coast and from Castile-Leon. Our results indicate that in the Mediterranean Coast of Southeastern Spain urban heights were well above rural ones for most of the period considered. In Castile-Leon, however, urban and rural heights were about the same until 1870 but urban heights were intermittently above rural ones thereafter. Hence, in Spain urban heights were not always below rural ones in stark contrast to the pattern obtained in other parts of Europe and North America.
