Study Scope

Abstract:

This dataset uses the agricultural census of 1898 to reconstruct land inequality (using the measure of gini-coefficient) in the size of agricultural units for each electoral district at two different levels of analysis: the Reichstag constituency level, and the Prussian Chamber of Deputes’ constituency level. The analysis is based on data on the size and number of farms as reported in an agricultural census conducted at the Kreis level of over 5 million agricultural units (Kaiserliches Statistisches Amt. 1898. Statistik des Deutschen Reichs. Bd. 112. Berlin: Verlag des Königlich Preussichen Statistischen Bureaus, pp. 351-413 [Table 9])
