本文探讨了19世纪普鲁士的地租和农业生产率模式，以获得对欧洲地区之间“小分歧”原因的新见解。我们认为，农业对城市和工业的发展作出反应，而不是塑造它。在约翰·冯·图南和恩斯特·恩格尔的精神，我们开发了一个理论模型来测试如何进入城市的需求影响农业发展。我们发现，城市需求的影响是因果关系，这是在十九世纪普鲁士的区域间市场一体化程度有限的最新研究结果。
This article explores the pattern of land rents and agricultural productivity across nineteenth-century Prussia to gain new insights on the causes of the “Little Divergence” between European regions. We argue that agriculture reacted to urban and industrial development rather than shaping it. In the spirit of Johann von Thünen and Ernst Engel, we develop a theoretical model to test how access to urban demand affected agricultural development. We show that the effect of urban demand is causal and that it is in line with recent findings on a limited degree of interregional market integration in nineteenth-century Prussia.
