The aim of this dissertation will be to study the historical economic factors that have contributed to the development failure of Extremadura, by taking the region as a case study. The relevance of this question is multiple: it addresses not only the thorny issue of Spain's regional divergences, but it does so from the viewpoint of the poorest region to understand how unequal Spanish growth has been. By studying why economic performance affects areas differently within a country, it will offer new insights on the economic integration literature. Furthermore, the conclusions of this research using Extremadura as a case study could be use on broader debates in regional economics, such as the role of industrialisation in regional wealth and the place of local institutions. This proposal assembles a series of characteristics to make a relevant contribution to different branches of economic history literature, from Spanish economic history literature to the larger development literature in general.

本文的目的是通过对埃斯特雷马杜拉地区的个案研究，研究导致该地区发展失败的历史经济因素。这个问题的相关性是多方面的：它不仅解决了西班牙地区差异的棘手问题，而且从最贫穷地区的角度来理解西班牙经济增长的不平等程度。通过研究为什么经济绩效对一个国家内不同地区的影响，它将为经济一体化文献提供新的见解。此外，将埃斯特雷马杜拉作为案例研究的研究结论可以用于区域经济学中更广泛的辩论，例如工业化在区域财富中的作用和地方机构的地位。本文汇集了一系列的特征，对经济史文献的不同分支做出相应的贡献，从西班牙经济史文献到更大的发展文献。
