Italian Industrialization and the Gerschenkronian “Great Spurt”: A Regional Analysis
从区域视角分析1896-1908年意大利工业化，发现存在三种区域模式，挑战了以往基于全国总量的格申克龙“大冲刺”观点。
Since the appearance of Gerschenkron's 1955 paper, economic historians have discussed extensively the industrial transformation of Italy from 1896 to 1908, which Gerschenkron claimed was the period of Italy's first big or great “spurt.” Those discussions, however, have been in terms of national aggregates. This article attempts to create instead a regional view of Italian industrialization for this period. My analysis of regional output for two benchmark years suggests there were three regional patterns of industrialization.
