Transportation Costs and International Trade in the Second Era of Globalization

When did globalisation begin
TL;DR: McNeill et al. as mentioned in this paper show that there is no evidence supporting the view that the world economy was globally integrated prior to the 1490s; there is also no evidence that this decade had the trading impact that world historians assign to it; but there is abundant evidence that a very big globalisation bang took place in the 1820s.
Journal ArticleDOI
The European grain invasion, 1870-1913
TL;DR: In this article, the authors quantified the impact of cheap grain on the European economy in the late nineteenth century and found that falling transport costs led to dramatic declines in Anglo-American grain price gaps, but price convergence was less impressive between the U.S. and other European economies, and within Europe.
