“…For Seville, González-Mariscal (2013) shows that housing was by far the most rapidly growing item in the CPI: it grew from 6.5 per cent of total expenditure in 1521-1550 to 15.5 per cent in 1551-1600, and to 17.4 per cent in 1601-1650. According to Drelichman and González-Agudo (2012), in 16 th -century Toledo, rent represented 9.5 per cent of total expenditures and evolved differently to other items. In spite of this, an appropriate consideration of housing costs reduces the welfare gap between Toledo and Antwerp and Amsterdam by 9.5 and 4 per cent, respectively.…”

This paper attempts to establish a debate between alternative views of living standards in Spanish America during the viceregal period. Since 2009, a growing literature has shared a «common language» based on a similar, though not identical, methodology.

“…Likewise, Gray (2015) uses the newspaper announcements to extract housing rents for New York City in 1880 to 1910, geocode the observations, and compute a quality-adjusted rental index. There are also several studies on historical rents and house prices in European countries: Clark (2002), Carmona et al (2014), Devaney (2009), and Drelichman and González Agudo (2014).…”

The analysis shows a rent decline (particularly for cheap dwellings) during the first half of the war, followed by a moderate increase. In 1917, given a dramatic overall price increase, real rents lost half of their value. Thus, regulatory policy did not emerge as a result of market failure but rather the fear of rapid rent increases as a consequence of the supply stagnation despite growing housing demand.

“…For an illustration of how this could happen with similar leases in a 16th-century Spanish context see Drelichman and Gonzalez-Agudo (2014). For a similar point about the flexibility of emphyteutic leases in 17th century Portugal see Amorim (1997) and Neto (2012).…”
