Manorial Estates as Business Firms: The Relevance of Economic Rent in Determining Crop Choices in London's Hinterland, c.1300 (2008)
This paper addresses the claim made by some scholars that production decisions on the part of manorial estates in the London region c. 1300 conformed to the logic of a model advanced by the German agricultural economist Johann von Thunen. The claim is tested by calculating the economic rent of four major grains and the results are contrasted with actual cropping patterns, revealing certain discrepancies. In the end, an alternative interpretation is offered questioning the relevance of von Thunens model. Bibliographic Information(back to top)
