Growth effects of 19th century mass migrations: "Fome Zero" for Brazil
Stolz, Yvonne; Baten, Jörg; Botelho, Tarcísio - 2011
We estimate a long-run trend of Brazilian human capital that extends back to the very beginning of the 18th century. With new data on selective immigration during the era of mass migrations at the end of the 19th century, we show that human capital endowment of international migrants can induce...
