The skill premium and the ‘Great Divergence’ by Jan Luiten van Zanden (IISG/University of Utrecht) The paper studies the long-term development of the skill premium of construction workers in Europe in a global perspective. It shows that this price of human capital declined sharply between ca 1350 and 1450, and, in particular in the North Sea region, remained on a relatively low level since. It is also demonstrated that in other parts of Eurasia – with the possible exception of parts of China – the skill premium was much higher than in Europe.

First, the German Empire before 1914 was a poorly integrated economy. Second, this internal fragmentation resulted from cultural heterogeneity, from administrative borders within Germany, and from geographical barriers that divided Germany along natural trade routes into eastern and western parts. Third, internal integration improved, while external integration worsened after World War I and again with the Great Depression.
