This book deals with the economics of establishing a frontier by
conquest or by peaceful settlement, the costs involved, and the
optimum extension of the territory. The opening chapters discuss
the most relevant literature about frontiers - conceptual,
theoretical and empirical - and introduce the fundamental
theoretical model for extending frontiers which is drawn on
throughout the book. The authors use this theoretical apparatus by
applying it to a number of historical cases. These include the
division of the European territory between the Byzantine Empire,
Islam and Western Europe, the creation and expansion of the Mongol
Empire, the impact of the Black Death, the European discovery of
the New World, the staples trade from 1870-1914, and the rise and
fall of banditry in Brazil. The Economics of the Frontier brings
together a collection of essays which explore how economically
optimal frontiers were founded from sixth-century Europe through to
twentieth-century Brazil.
