Such data may be very interesting because the production and accumulation of \"books\" can be used as a proxy of the production and accumulation of ideas. Also, the demand for books will to a large extent be determined by the level of literacy in a given society, although other variables will also play a role. In short, the production of books is linked to a number of variables that are used in new growth theory, such as human capital and knowledge production. The numbers of manuscript and printed books produced in a given society are, in brief, complex measures of economic performance and of societal capabilities, and therefore a valuable guide to the study of long-term economic change. \nThe final goal, which is the quantification of global \"book\" production over time in this database Global Historical Bibliometrics makes it possible to address some of the big debates in the (economic) history of the world. \n\nThe database Global Historical Bibliometrics and its contents are freely accessible for research purposes to people from over the world by means of the World Wide Web.","descriptionType":"Abstract"}],"geoLocations":[{"geoLocationPlace":"Europe"}],"fundingReferences":[],"xml":"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
