1. Maize to the people! : cultivation, consumption and trade in the north-eastern Mediterranean (sixteenth-nineteenth century)2020, scientific monograph Abstract: This volume is a first attempt at examining one of the most important and yet little-studied aspects of the Colombian exchange: the introduction and diffusion of maize in some countries of Southern Europe. While the potato and its impact on European history have been examined in quite some detail, thanks to a large number of articles and monographs, the same cannot be said for maize - despite the incontrovertible importance this crop has achieved as a foodstuff in many rural areas of the Mediterranean region, as is probably most true of Italy. But even in the case of Italy, after the seminal work of Messedaglia (1927), we can mostly find only short contributions or a few insightful syntheses. However, much the same may be said with regard to other Mediterranean regions and countries since the historiographical 'state of the art' regarding maize is quite similar if not even more scarce. Apart from the generally unsatisfying number of specific regional studies on maize in the earlier stages of its diffusion, one thing is certainly even more true: we lack a comprehensive vision and a comparative perspective on this process that would embrace the whole of Southern Europe.

4. Essays in Comparative Institutional EconomicsPeter Grajžl, 2005, doctoral dissertation Abstract: This dissertation examines how decentralized institutional structures and organizational forms evolve and affect economic development under different politico-economic and legal arrangements. Organized legal professions are typically viewed by economists as rent-seeking interest groups - even though they have been central in institutional development in countries with the highest quality institutions. Chapter 1 develops a model that identifies the link between the role of organized legal professions and the quality of reform. Delaying institutional reform through deliberation, the profession's participation discounts the expected benefit from welfare-inferior reform proposal for rent-seeking interest groups. Professional review serves as a screening mechanism ameliorating the self-interested government's adverse selection problem. The model's predictions cast new light on the Glorious and the French revolutions, post-communist transition, why and when civil law and common law systems ...
