- 요약This dissertation consists of three essays on political economy and economic history. While the settings considered in each chapter are separated in time and space, all three studies are motivated by a shared research interest in the underlying political economy of development in historical perspective. Whether studying the welfare implications of the Russian colonization of indigenous nomadic lands in Central Asia over 1890s-1918 (Chapter 1), productivity and labor market consequences of the feudal pomestie reform in Russia in 15th-16th centuries (Chapter 2), or the political economy of anti-usury ecclesiastical legislation and the consequences of its enforcement on urban development in Europe in 12th-16th centuries (Chapter 3), this dissertation aims to shed light on the role the state, the elites, and various interest groups play in shaping and implementing developmental policies and regulations.In Chapter 1, I study how a sharp exogenous increase in land pressure resulting from massive land expropriations and in-migrations of peasant-settlers organized by the Russian colonial authorities in the late 19th and early 20th century affected social structures and economic activities of indigenous nomadic pastoralists in Central Asia. I assemble a novel household level dataset constructed from two waves of Russian colonial censuses of nomadic population in 1896-1901 and 1908-1913 combined with hand-collected data from archival plot-level annual land expropriation reports that, together with landuse-based expropriation rule, allow me to use fuzzy regression discontinuity design to show that those nomadic households that experienced expropriations between ca. 1897 and ca. 1908 were more likely to partially sedentarize and intensify the use of the most fertile lands they were left with. Within extended households and beyond, an increase in land pressure facilitated the development of more individualized ownership and use rights for land, as well as gave rise to contractual labor market and rental market for land. Such a shift from pastoralism to semi-sedentary mode of production rapidly reduced the importance of top-level clan and tribe institutions traditionally regulating the use of common pastures. Instead, lower level sub-clan self-identification became more salient, households started to invest more in agricultural tools and construction of permanent buildings.Feudalism was the dominant system of land ownership throughout medieval Europe, yet little causal evidence of its effect on agricultural productivity, labor markets, and welfare exists. Chapter 2 of this dissertation attempts to fill this gap by studying one of the largest late medieval land reforms, the feudal pomestie reform in Russia. In 1478, the Grand Prince of Moscow Ivan III annexed the Republic of Novgorod. By ca. 1488, he expropriated most of the landed properties there. More than half of them were eventually granted to several thousand Muscovite military class people as fiefs. Using data from 1478-1500 tax cadasters (called pistsovye knigi), I show that, compared to estates that remained under status quo (allodial or freehold tenure), properties that were feudalized by 1490 and granted to new proprietors experienced a sharp decline in levels of grain productivity and total grain yield by 1500. I also demonstrate that (i) feudalization caused outmigration of tenant households and workers from affected estates, (ii) feudalized estates generated lower per capita incomes by 1576/77, and (iii) had higher incidence of sharecropping and lower levels of commercialized handicrafts by 1790.In Chapter 3, I study whether European cities that hosted merchant-moneylenders collectively known as Lombards grew faster than cities without these financial establishments in Europe between 1100 and 1550. Since the late 12th century, amid massive demographic growth, political consolidation, and increase in intra-European trade, hundreds of Italian merchant-moneylenders migrated across the Alps from Lombardy and Piedmont, creating a network of banking establishments across hundreds of cities and towns in the Kingdom of France, England, and the Holy Roman Empire. In 1274, in response to these rapid changes of financial markets, Pope Gregory X writes and promulgates the Usurarum Voraginem decree which called upon secular lords to expel foreign professional usurers and-for the first time-outlined punishments for hesitant authorities. Using difference-in-differences design and newly collected archival data on nobel concessions, financial contracts, and ecclesiastical legislation referencing anti-usury provisions of the Usurarum Voraginem decree, paired with a high-frequency proxy for local economic activity-hand-collected data on all major city-level construction events in 1100-1550 for 4,035 European cities-I find that cities that hosted Lombard establishments at some point during the study period experienced 6.4-6.7% more construction activity over contemporaneous 25-year-long period. An instrumental variable strategy that leverages local variation in ecclesiastical attitudes towards usury yields estimates of similar magnitude, suggesting that Lombards were not (or weren't able to) strategically selecting faster-growing cities when choosing their main place of residence.
