چکیده
This paper examines the relationship between household emigration and short-term crisis in a mid-19 century rural, Tuscan community. Based on a detailed reconstruction of individual and household life-histories, this study demonstrates the strong association between household emigration and different kinds of short-term stress, whether economic, epidemiologic, or household related. Despite some variations in response in relation to socioeconomic status (SES) with the poorest strata of society more exposed to price changes and mortality crisis the death of the household head is revealed as one of the most powerful overriding factors of household emigration. 1 Department of Economics, University of Sassari, e-mail: [email protected]. 2 Department of Genetics, Anthropology Evolution, University of Parma, e-mail: [email protected]. 3 Department of Economics and Statistics, University of Udine, e-mail: [email protected].
