Inferring Yields from Probate Inventories
改进了Mark Overton从遗嘱认证清单计算作物产量的方法，明确计入收获成本并剔除生产成本估值。应用于牛津郡样本后，所得产量高于Overton对东盎格利亚的研究，支持早期现代英格兰产量增长主要发生在17世纪而非18世纪的观点。
An improvement on Mark Overton's method of computing crop yields from probate inventories is proposed. Harvesting costs are explicitly allowed for and a new procedure for eliminating cost-of-production valuations is offered. Applying these methods to a sample of Oxfordshire probate inventories generates higher yields than Overton's investigation of East Anglian inventories. The finding lends support to the view that most of the yield increase in early modern England occurred in the seventeenth century rather than the eighteenth.
