The slow emergence of the rational investor: Grain markets and grain storage of rural estates in western Germany, eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries

The Economic History Review, EarlyView.
Abstract We develop new datasets of monthly grain prices in 14 urban markets and of the storage and marketing of grain by 5 rural estates located in western Germany between the late seventeenth century and c. 1860. We explore whether observed patterns of monthly prices, sales, and storage of grain are consistent with the rational competitive storage ...
