BUSCADOR RECOLECTA

This dataset in an Excel file compares the wave of globalization before the outbreak of the Great Recession in 2007 with its alleged historical antecedent before the outbreak of World War One. We describe trends in trade and openness, estimate the gains from trade and investigate the proximate causes of the growth of openness. We argue that the conventional wisdom has to be revised. The first wave of globalization started around 1820 and culminated around 1870. In the next century, trade continued to grow, with the exception of the Great Depression, but openness and gains fluctuated widely. Growth resumed in the early 1970s. By 2007, the world was more open than a century earlier and its inhabitants gained from trade substantially more than their ancestors did. The current wave of globalization, in spite of some similarities with previous trends, has no historical antecedents.

This dataset is supporting information to the paper pubished in the Working papers in Economic History series, n. 16-01., This dataset in an Excel file presents our data-base on world trade from 1800 to 1938. We have collected or estimated series of imports and exports, at current and constant (1913) prices and at current and at constant (1913) borders, for 149 polities. After a short review of the available series, we describe the methods for the construction of the data-base. We then deal with the criteria for the inclusion of polities, the representativeness of our series, the main types of sources, the procedures of deflation and, when necessary, of adjustments to 1913 borders. We discuss the details of the estimation of our polity series in Appendix B. Following Feinstein and Thomas (2001), we assess the reliability of our polity estimates. In the last two sections we present our trade series at current and 1913 borders and compare them with other available series.

This dataset compiles information obtained during the cruise RETRO-BMC. A companion dataset includes additional information obtained using high-frequency profiling floats and a high-resolution microstructure profiler. The "readme file" contains a description of the different folders and archives, The RETRO-BMC oceanographic cruise was designed to characterize the spatial structures and variability of the Brazil-Malvinas Confluence (BMC) region. The cruise was carried in April 2017 on board the R/V Hespérides, departing from Ushuaia (Argentina) and arriving to Santos (Brazil). There were a total of 33 hydrographic stations, carried out between 13 and 25 April 2017. All stations were offshore from the continental platform and within 42ºS-36ºS and 58ºW-52ºW. Conductivity-temperature-depth (CTD) data were obtained with a SeaBird 911 Plus multi-parametric probe, with redundant salinity and temperature sensors, and additional dissolved oxygen (SBE-43) and fluorescence and turbidity (Wetlabs AFL-NTU-RTD) sensors. Water velocity data was obtained at the stations with a lowered acoustic Doppler current profiler (LADCP) and along the ship’s track with the vessel-mounted ADCP (VADCP). During the entire ship’s track inside the study region, the VADCP gathered velocity data in low-range mode (one velocity profile every 2 min between about 20 and 800 m at 8-m depth bins) and a thermosalinograph gathered salinity and temperature data (every 5 s at a depth of 5 m). The LADCP was attached, together with the CTD, to a 12-liters 24-Niskin-bottle rosette that was used to gather water samples at discrete depths, which were frozen and later analyzed to determine the concentration of inorganic nutrients. In addition, two high-resolution three-dimensional surveys were carried out at the Confluence front with a SeaSoar covering the area between 40.6-39.0°S and 55.6°W-53.8°W. The first transect was completed between the 16 and 17 April, 46 hours covering 620 km, while the second sampled 751 km between the 19 and 21 April 2017, during 52 hours. The SeaSoar was equipped with a SeaBird 911 CTD with the same sensors as in the hydrographic stations, and recorded data in a sawtooth pattern between 5 and 360 m, with a horizontal spacing between apogees of 4 km. Finally, five subsurface drifters, dragged at 100 m, were launched early in the cruise. The cruise was supported by the Spanish Ministerio de Economía y Competitividad through project “Retroflexiones de frontera oeste: conexiones en transportes latitudinales y recirculation de giro en el Océano Atlántico” (VA‐DE‐RETRO, reference number CTM2014‐56987‐P), The cruise was supported by the Spanish Ministerio de Economía y Competitividad through project “Retroflexiones de frontera oeste: conexiones en transportes latitudinales y recirculation de giro en el Océano Atlántico” (VA‐DE‐RETRO, reference number CTM2014‐56987‐P), Peer reviewed
