“…If, for example, it was common practice in a region to divide the land among the beneficiaries into real terms (equal partition), the resulting small lots created an incentive to shift economic activity from agriculture toward some type of craft business, maybe at first as a secondary occupation that later became the main source of income. This is an often-heard explanation for the emergence of an economic structure characterized by relatively many small firms in some regions of South Germany (Hunning and Wahl, 2021). Such a shift in economic activity would not have been so likely to occur if the land was cohesively transferred to one beneficiary only (primogeniture), as was the case in other regions (Bartels et al, 2020).…”

“…Making things even more complex certain informal and formal institutions may emerge because of location fundamentals. Hunning and Wahl (2021), for example, show that the emergence of the dominant regional mode of inheritance can be partly explained by soil quality. According to their results, the inheritance practice of equal partition is more likely in areas with better soil quality and lower elevation.…”

Entrepreneurship in the Long-Run: Empirical Evidence and Historical Mechanisms

We review and discuss research on the development of regional entrepreneurship over time. A particular focus is on the long-term persistence of regional levels of entrepreneurship, its explanation, and its meaning for economic development. What is the state of empirical research in this field, and what can explain the empirical findings? How are long-term trends of entrepreneurial activity linked to regional performance in terms of employment, gross domestic product (GDP), and innovative activity? Based on our assessments we derive conclusions for theory, policy implications, and avenues for further research.

“…explore these hypotheses in detail. 9 Huning and Wahl (2021) provide historical details on Baden-Württemberg's agricultural history. 10 Nationwide, expellees did not exhibit notably different religious characteristics from natives', although variation sometimes occurred at local levels (Braun and Dwenger 2020).…”

Community Size and Electoral Preferences: Evidence From Post-Second World War Baden-Württemberg

We examine whether electoral preferences depend on a community's population size by studying post-Second World War Baden-Württemberg in Southwest Germany. Our identification strategy exploits the fact that the French administration zone prohibited German expellees from entering, contrary to the contiguous American zone. Population size positively predicts voting for the Social Democrats (the party advocating substantial government involvement in practically all domains) and negatively for the Christian Democrats (the small-government party advocating free-market policies). Results are neither driven by pre-existing voting patterns, religious compositions, and location- and time-specific unobservables, nor other measurable cultural, demographic, economic, or political characteristics. Alternative explanations pertaining to expellee voting behaviour or a backlash of natives against expellees appear unlikely – population size prevails as a predominant voting predictor.

“…The sustainability dimension consists of economic sustainability, community social life, and ecology in the watershed. However, empirically it is still rarely done so that practical actions appear in land management through efforts to realise sustainable agriculture [GONZALEZ-REDIN et al 2018;HUNING, WAHL 2021]. The research objective is to obtain critical land management to realise a sustainable agricultural model in the Welang watershed area.…”

According to many experts, the water crisis will be one of the most important challenges in the coming years on the planet. Watershed management is one of the most effective ways to conserve rainwater and develop water resources. The purpose of the study was to obtain a model of critical land management in the Welang watershed area. This study uses a dynamic systems approach based on a causal philosophy (cause and effect) through a deep understanding of how a system works. The parameters used are based on sustainable agriculture in terms of physical sustainability aspects/critical land from erosion factor indicators. Model validation is done by comparing the behaviour of the model with a natural system (quantitive behaviour pattern comparison), namely the Mean Absolute Percentage Error (MAPE) Middle-Value Test. Modelling is supported by Powersim Studio Express Software ver. 10. The results show that the physical sustainability model/critical land using a simulation scenario of 25% erosion control funds shows a trend of increasing production land area and tackled land area followed by a decrease in annual erosion weight. The economic sustainability model obtained results at the end of the projected year showing farm revenues IDR 63,591,396 (USD1 ≈ IDR14.27 thous. in average in 2021). This means that the higher the acceptance value, the farming can provide economic welfare for farmers.
