"Historical warfare in Europe inflicted numerous costs on rural populations. To reduce\r\nsuch costs, rural populations relocated behind the relative safety of urban fortifications.\r\nWe argue that war-related urbanization had positive consequences for long-run regional\r\neconomic development. We geocode the locations of more than 600 conflicts in early\r\nmodern Europe. We find a positive and significant relationship between historical conflict\r\nexposure and regional economic development today. Our results are robust to a wide\r\nrange of econometric techniques, alternative samples, and economic outcomes. Human\r\ncapital accumulation stands out as one channel through which war-related urbanization\r\ntranslated into regional economic development. Our results highlight the military origins\r\nof Europe’s wealthy urban belt"^^ . "2015-07" . . "6" . . "IMT Institute for Advanced Studies Lucca"^^ . . . . . . . . . . . . "Massimiliano Gaetano"^^ .
