Wolfgang Keller (Uni Colorado): Elite Strategies for Big Shocks: The Case of the Fall of the Ming

We study the impact of the fall of the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644) on couples and their descendants (treatment of people). Local Ming elites suffered a decline in influence in the short run, but in the long-run their descendants recovered and tightened their grip on power in their role as the elites of the new Qing Dynasty (1644-1911). In contrast, the fall of Ming had a more negative impact on the regions that historically were most strongly negatively affected by the shock (treatment of regions)

This is a RFBerlin Applied Economics Seminar. The series brings leading researchers to Berlin to share their latest work and engage with our community.

Wolfgang Keller is Professor at the University of Colorado Boulder and Director of the McGuire Center for International Economics. His research spans international trade, innovation and growth, and the economics of gender, with a particular focus on developments in economic history as well as international trade and regional economics. He is member of both NBER and CEPR, and his research has been published in the American Economic Review, the Journal of Political Economy, as well as other journals.
