Distinct within North America: living standards in French Canada, 1688–1775

I use a novel dataset of prices and wages from the French colony of Quebec (Canada’s second largest province today) to measure colonial-era living standards. Following Allen’s (Explor Econ Hist 38(4):411–447, 2001; The British industrial revolution in global perspective, Cambridge University, Cambridge, 2009; Econ Hist Rev 68(1):1–22, 2015) welfare-ratios approach, I find that Quebec was poorer than the American colonies and London, but somewhat richer than Paris and Southern England. The Quebec–Paris comparison is sensitive to changes in the basket used to compare wages. Shifting from a bare bones basket to a respectable basket, Quebec loses its advantage over Paris, but remains poorer than the American colonies and London.

在北美地区与众不同:1688年至1775年加拿大法属生活水平

我使用来自法国魁北克殖民地(今天是加拿大第二大省)的价格和工资的新数据集来衡量殖民时代的生活水平。遵循艾伦(Explor Econ Hist 38(4):411-447,2001;全球视角下的英国工业革命,剑桥大学,剑桥,2009; Econ Hist Rev 68(1):1-22,2015)福利比率法,我发现魁北克比美国殖民地和伦敦穷,但比巴黎和英格兰南部富裕。魁北克和巴黎的比较对用来比较工资的篮子的变化很敏感。魁北克从光秃秃的篮子转移到一个可敬的篮子,失去了与巴黎相比的优势,但仍然比美国殖民地和伦敦穷。
