The Total Product of Barbados, 1664–1701
利用贸易统计和海关账簿数据,估算了1665-1666年和1699-1701年巴巴多斯的总产品与人均产品,发现其人均产品比英格兰和威尔士高出三分之一到三分之二。
Estimates of total and per capita product for Barbados are derived for 1665 and 1666 and 1699 to 1701 from trade statistics and new data on the distribution and composition of produce entered into the customs books of the island. The share of exports in total product–central to the estimate of total product–is linked to the share of the labor force in the export sector. Per capita Barbados product is estimated to have been one- to two-thirds higher than in England and Wales, and per capita exports are estimated well above those of their Chesapeake counterparts.
