4. Objetivos de la materia
El objetivo del curso es analizar y discutir las teorías y la evidencia empírica sobre el desempeño
económico de distintos países y regiones en diferentes períodos de la historia económica mundial.
Ello permitirá analizar el desarrollo económico, examinado este último en distintos momentos del
tiempo. Se examinarán experiencias y eventos de la historia económica de Europa, África, Asia
(específicamente China e India) y América. El curso recogerá los recientes desarrollos en historia
económica que incorpora entre otros los descubrimientos arqueológicos y genéticos más actuales al
análisis cuantitativo propio de la economía. Un ejemplo de esto último es un artículo de Ashraf y
Galor (2013) publicado en American Economic Review que con evidencia arqueológica y genética
muestra que los patrones de colonización resultado del éxodo desde África al resto del mundo hace
60 mil años ha tenido un efecto duradero en el desarrollo comparado. Otro ejemplo, es el trabajo de
Alesina, Giuliano y Nathan Nunn (2011) también en AER que muestra la relación negativa el uso
histórico del arado en la agricultura y las menores tasas de fecundidad hoy.

5. Contenido
El curso se divide en cinco partes. La primera es una introducción a la historia económica y a la
relación de esta con los resultados económicos actuales. Se hará énfasis en la discusión sobre las
Instituciones, la geografía y cultura como determinantes fundamentales del desempeño
económico. A su vez, habrá lecturas aplicadas a casos específicos de países relacionando la historia
con los resultados económicos actuales. La segunda parte cubre la literatura más reciente sobre el
surgimiento de la agricultura, el mundo antiguo, la edad media y la transición al mundo moderno y
a la industrialización. La tercera parte cubre los siglos XVI y XI, Edad Moderna Temprana,
presentando los efectos económicos del descubrimiento de América, la colonización, el mercado
trasatlántico, cambios en sistemas políticos en Europa, la estructura agraria en China y Europa y el
mercado de esclavos africanos al Nuevo Mundo. La cuarta parte abarca el período 1700 - 1850,
Edad Moderna Tardía y Revolución Industrial, y cubre los antecedentes a la Revolución Industrial,
Revolución Francesa, la decadencia del Imperio Español y a la Independencia de las colonias
americanas. A su vez presenta la proto-industrialización en Asia, el Imperio Británico en India y el
surgimiento de la agricultura americana. La quinta sección analiza la expansión del capitalismo en
el siglo XIX y proceso de (des)Industrialización en el centro y la periferia y, los orígenes y
consolidación de las diferencias en el desarrollo económico dentro de las Américas.

 6. Metodología
La aproximación a los temas se hará en orden cronológico a partir de lecturas de diversos
historiadores económicos. Las lecturas son de carácter transversal con el fin de realizar
comparaciones entre economías y establecer patrones de convergencia y divergencia. Los textos en
su mayoría son documentos de investigación de gran relevancia internacional que se apoyan en
herramientas econométricas o estadísticas para sustentar sus hipótesis.

7. Competencias
Al finalizar el curso, los estudiantes contarán con una visión global y analítica de los grandes
cambios estructurales que determinaron la historia económica mundial en el periodo de estudio.

8. Criterios de Evaluación (Porcentajes de cada evaluación)

La clase de Historia Económica Mundial 1500-1900 es intensiva en lectura por lo cual la evaluación
se realizará de cuatro maneras:

1. Ensayos cortos (30%): ensayos quincenales basados en las lecturas obligatorias asignadas vistas o no
en clase Los ensayos en responder varias preguntas o desarrollar temáticas - específicas y/o
transversales- con base en las lecturas.
2. Exposiciones (10%): presentación de alguna de las lecturas del programa. La duración es de 30
minutos y debe realizarse en formato Power Point. Cada estudiante deberá llevar a cabo entre una o
dos exposiciones.
3. Parciales (30%): evaluaciones que podrán realizarse en clase o por fuera de clase.
4. Trabajo Final (25%): consiste en la elaboración de un análisis acerca de: a) un episodio en la historia
(ej. Las consecuencias económicas de de las guerras napoleónicas, la política fiscal y la Revolución
Francesa, etc.); b) una política económica en la historia (ej. la llegada del libre comercio a Europa, la
política de migración en América Latina en el siglo XIX y sus consecuencias); o una interpretación
sobre: c) la historia económica de alguna sociedad durante determinado periodo (ej. desarrollo
exportador en Brasil a finales del siglo XIX, la decadencia española en el siglo XVIII, etc.).La nota
del trabajo final se realizará sobre un avance (5%) y sobre el documento definitivo (20%).
5. Asistencia y participación en clase (5%). Se restará un punto porcentual (1%) por cada inasistencia
injustificada (ver reglamento estudiantil artículo 43).

9. Sistema de aproximación de Notas definitivas

La aproximación de la nota final del curso se hará al decimal superior más cercano. Así,
si al computar todas las notas del semestre de un estudiante el valor obtenido es 3.01 se
aproxima a 3.1, si se obtiene 4.24 se aproxima a 4.3, si se obtiene, 4.91, se aproxima a
5.0, etc.

10. Temario y Lecturas
