Jewish Persecutions and Weather Shocks: 1100–1800. Anderson, R. W., Johnson, N. D., & Koyama, M. The Economic Journal, 127(602):924–958, June, 2017. ![Jewish Persecutions and Weather Shocks: 1100–1800 [link]](https://bibbase.org/img/filetypes/link.svg "link")
Paper doi abstract bibtex What factors caused the persecution of minorities in pre-modern Europe? Using panel data consisting of 1,366 persecutions of Jews from 936 European cities between 1100 and 1800, we test whether persecutions were more likely following colder growing seasons. A one standard deviation decrease in growing season temperature in the previous five-year period increased the probability of a persecution by between 1 and 1.5 percentage points (relative to a baseline of 2%). This effect was strongest in weak states and with poor quality soil. The long-run decline in persecutions was partly attributable to greater market integration and state capacity.
