Economic and cultural historians explore productivity trends in various shipping regimes mostly in early modern and modern Europe, and sources of productivity growth. Among the topics are evidence from freight rates 1550-1800 for productivity changes in shipping in the Dutch Republic, the strange tale of the decline of Spanish shipping, Portuguese ships and their cargoes on the Macau-Nagasaki route 1570-1640, why shipping declined in China from the Middle Ages to the 19th century, ship design and energy use 1350-1875, total factor productivity for the Royal Navy from victory at Texel in 1653 to triumph at Trafalgar in 1805, and characterizing technological change in the shipping industry 1350-1800. Most of the studies are from an April 2007 conference in Lagos, Portugal. Annotation ©2011 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
