DESCRIPTION:This paper uses Japanese village censuses\, 1637-1872\, to meas
 ure inequality in landownership. Surprisingly\, inequality was low and stab
 le unlike Europe where it was high and increasing. To explain this\, I stud
 y inter-generational land transmissions. I find Japanese households adopte
 d male heirs when reproduction failed\, thereby keeping lands in the family
 . In contrast\, elite English male lines failed 25\\% of the time leading t
 o unequal redistributions of their lands via will or marriage of heiresses.
  Finally\, the institutional differences in adoption had roots in 4th centu
 ry church policy and this may partially explain why Europe was more unequal
  by 1800.Discussion : François Gipouloux (EHESS\, CECMC)\\n\\nContact: Jea
