Family law, property rights and women's wealth (Milan, Italy, 19th century)
No full textThe work aims at analising the way the legal context shaped female wealth holding in Mediterranean settings. In particular, it focuses on propertied women who lived in Milan in the first decades after the Unification. Probate records reveal that notwithstanding legal provisions assuring women equal rights to property than men, they were by far poorer. And this was mainly because culture and custum kept women away from the financial and economic arena and parents privileged male sons in their inheritance practices as well
How effective is the EU Entry Price System for Fresh Fruits and Vegetables?
No full textThe EU protects EU growers of 15 kinds of fresh fruits and vegetables against international competition not only by the means of ad valorem tariffs of up to 20%, but also by the EU entry-price system (EPS), which is designed to restrict imports below the product-specific, politically designated entry price level. This study investigates the influence of the EPS on import prices of fruits and vegetables per product and country of origin. We utilise a unique data set comprising about 60,000 observations of daily synthetic import prices. We develop two indicators for the effectiveness of the EPS, which serve as variables in a cluster analysis identifying four classes differing in the relevance of the EPS. Results suggest that the relevance of the EPS is heterogeneous among products as well as countries of origin for most fruits and vegetables. Thus, an adequate assessment of the importance of the EPS requires not only a product-specific but also a country-specific analysis. Overall, our results indicate that the effectiveness of the EPS is highest for the import of artichokes, courgettes, cucumbers, lemons, plums and tomatoes. The influence of the EPS on apples, clementines and pears is significantly lower, and of least relevance for EU imports of apricots, mandarins, oranges, peaches and nectarines and table grapes. The EPS has the greatest effect on countries which neighbour the EU, whereas it is of minor importance for exports from far-away countries with the exception of China and South Africa.threshold cointegration, spatial price transmission, vector error correction model, Agricultural and Food Policy, Demand and Price Analysis,
Quality Standards for Food Products - A Particular Burden for Small Producers in Developing Countries?
No full textThis paper develops an analytical framework which structures the problem of whether, how and to what extent small producers in developing countries are disadvantaged by the increasing prevalence of food quality standards. Based on a literature review, the empirical evidence is structured and research gaps are identified. The paper finds that small and medium producers rarely comply without support from downstream actors. In case of well-educated and relatively wealthy farmers, forward integration is also found. No empirical support exists for the intuitively appealing hypothesis of a lower cost of compliance per unit of output for large producers. Zusammenfassung In diesem Papier wird ein Analyserahmen entwickelt, um die Möglichkeit und das Ausmaß der Benachteiligung von Kleinlandwirten in Entwicklungsländern durch die zunehmende Verbreitung von Qualitätsstandards für Produkte der Agrar- und Ernährungsindustrie zu strukturieren. In einer Literaturübersicht werden die Ergebnisse empirischer Studien ausgewertet und Forschungslücken identifiziert. Es wird gezeigt, dass Kleinlandwirte aufwändige Prozessstandards selten ohne die Unterstützung von Unternehmen auf nachgelagerten Stufen der Wertschöpfungskette implementieren. Die einleuchtende und weit verbreitete Hypothese, dass die Cost of Compliance per Produkteinheit für große Produzenten niedriger als für kleine Produzenten seien, wurde bisher empirisch nicht bestätigt.Quality Standards, International Trade, EUREPGAP, Certification, Small Farmers, Developing Countries, Cost of Compliance, Agribusiness, International Relations/Trade,

Træk af kvindernes musik i den danske renæssance
No full textMusik spillede en ikke ubetydelig rolle for kvinder i den danske renæssance. Musik blev brugt aktivt i dagligdagen som adspredelse og som tidsfordriv, ligesom musik var en kulturel kapital, der kunne signalere velstand, social status, dannelse og god smag. For kvinder i visse sociale kredse var det vigtigt at identificere sig med musik, enten som udøvende selv eller som velyndere af andres kunst. Artiklen viser på den ene side, at de kvindelige medlemmer af det danske kongehus tiltrak sig opmærksomhed fra musikere, der ønskede at satte sig i forbindelse med samfundets sociale top. Dernæst redegøres der på den anden side for, hvordan kvinderne her blev vigtige aktører som kulturambassadører, der drog fordel af deres position til at understøtte hofmusikken – såvel til deres egen som til hoffets generelle fordel. Disse kvinder blev aktive i tidens fremtrædende musikmiljøer uden selv nødvendigvis at indtage rollen som udøvende. For andre var musik en integreret del af den almindelige dagligdag. Kvinder musicerede i den private sfære som adspredelse for deres egen skyld eller som en social begivenhed i selskab med andre. Det forventedes, at kvinder deltog i menighedssangen, ligesom de som led i en from tilværelse sang åndelige viser for at akkompagnere deres daglige gøremål. Musik var også genstand for interesse i en lærd sammenhæng, hvor det i mindre grad var musikkens sociale værdi eller performative sider, som var i fokus. Her var musik og sang i form af noder og tekster et samlerobjekt for lærde kvinder, der interesserede sig for historie eller sprog. Hen mod periodens slutning åbnede der sig nye muligheder for kvinders offentlige deltagelse i musikalske opførelser. Man ser tendenser, der peger mod et skifte i kvindernes opfattelse af sig selv som udøvende: Fra at have varet et privat anliggende, blev rollen som performer nu offentlig, og kvinder begyndte at agere for et publikum. Denne tendens, som har kunnet spores i andre europæiske sammenhænge langt tidligere, satte ind i hoffets kredse i Danmark fra midten af 1600-tallet
