Abstract

Settler economies (Argentina, Australia, Canada, Chile, New Zealand, South Africa and Uruguay) benefited from the consequences of the Second Industrial Revolution as their temperate climate and fertile soils were suitable for the production of agrarian commodities. The main domestic contribution was the incorporation of “new” land into the economic relationships of the first expansion of the world capitalism. The aim of Chapter 17 is to understand this process in the long term (1830–1950) using the land frontier expansion as a central concept. We present a Ricardian analytical model to explain the process in terms of extensive and intensive margins. Our evidence supports the predominance of the extensive margin in Argentina, Uruguay and New Zealand, and the intensive margin in the first two and Chile, but not in the other countries.

Fußnoten
1
Here we paraphrase Alvarez et al. (2007).
 
2
We assume a country where a half of the land corresponds to high quality and the rest distributes equally between medium and low quality. We suppose a constant addition of land of 10 percentage points year by year.
 
3
We assume that the increases of high-, medium- and low-quality indicators are equivalent to 10, 5 and 2.5 percentage points to represent a higher dynamism corresponding to high-quality land.
 
4
We assume an initial moment where η h and η ml coincide and where the first decreases 20 per cent each period and the second only 5 per cent.
 
5
A critique to our proposal is that it constitutes a static approach. The transformation of one type of land to another—typically from forest to grassland, steppe or savannah—is perfectly feasible and we do not capture this process. We will pay attention to this point in next steps of our research.
