REAL WAGES AND STANDARDS OF LIVING IN THE OTTOMAN EMPIRE, 1489–1914
利用大量档案资料，首次建立了15世纪下半叶至一战期间伊斯坦布尔及其他奥斯曼城市熟练与非熟练建筑工人的实际工资长期趋势，并构建了详细的消费者价格指数和名义工资指数。
Utilizing a large volume of archival documents, this study establishes for the first time the long-term trends in real wages of skilled and unskilled construction workers in Istanbul and other Ottoman cities in southeastern Europe and the Middle East, from the second half of the fifteenth century until World War I. A detailed consumer price index and nominal wage indices are constructed for the city of Istanbul for this purpose. These price and wage series are then inserted into a larger framework of price and wage trends in European cities during the same period.
