DESCRIPTION:*England’s demographic pressure in the late 1200s and early 1
 600s was strikingly similar\, yet the outcomes diverged sharply: the former
  produced famine and Malthusian checks\, while the latter inaugurated the A
 gricultural Revolution and the path to industrialization. This paper ration
 alizes this puzzle through a general equilibrium model of preindustrial Eng
 land estimated on novel microdata on scholars affiliated with Oxford\, Camb
 ridge\, and Gresham College. Agents are heterogeneous in land and human cap
 ital — positively correlated within the landlord class — linking the la
 nd and human capital markets through differential fertility: higher land re
 nts raise landlord fertility\,channeling non-heir children into the scholar
  class and replenishing the knowledge stock. Before the printing press\, kn
 owledge depreciates rapidly and must be re-accumulated each generation\, ma
 king scholarly investment countercyclically dependent on land scarcity. The
  printing press\, modeled as a permanent reduction in knowledge depreciatio
 n\, transforms knowledge into a durable stock\, severs this dependence\, an
 d shifts the economy toward a self-reinforcing Boserupian regime in which k
 nowledge accumulation raises the return to scholarly activity procyclically
  — resolving why identical demographic conditions produced opposite histo
 rical trajectories. Estimation via simulated method of moments will match h
 istorical series on wages\, land rents\, urbanization\, and academic output
 .**This chapter examines the persistent legacy of Roman integration in curr
 ent trade linkages across Western Europe. Using a sample of 16\,256 region 
 pairs\, it provides evidence that regions jointly integrated for a longer p
 eriod within the Roman states trade significantly more with each other toda
 y. Part of this influence reflects subsequent political history\, the curre
 nt transport networks\, which sometimes follow past Roman roads\, as well a
 s geographic features that may have induced trade without the Roman interve
 ntion\, such as resource differences and geographic connectivity. However\,
  a remaining sizable part of the estimated net effect of the Roman rule is 
 attributable to cultural convergence measured by preference and linguistic 
 similarities. These findings highlight a long-lasting influence of past pol
 itical and network (infra)structures on the European market integration.\\n
