11 Historical Overview The Revolution and its Effect on Europe War between France and Prussia/Austria starts in France borders were expanded during the following years. By 1795, Rhineland is controlled by France Plenty of little states and cities were merged to form a string of buffer states on French northeastern frontier.

26 Data Kopsidis and Bromley (2016) Acemoglu et al. admit serfdom was already abolished in practice, so why do they give such a weight in the index to that reform? According to them, half of the entries in Table 1 have incorrect dates. Recomputing the index with those elements, there are no more clear difference between the three groups of polities 17 / 28

31 Reduced-Form Evidence Sectoral composition of employment Data for 64 districts for 1849, 1882, 1895 and 1907 Advantage : sectoral shares closely captures the move out of agricultural activities => good check on previous results based on u jt Disadvantage : cannot check for pretrends before 1800 Cross-sectional regressions: y jt = d t + α t I j + ɛ jt 22 / 28
