The price of sugar in Sweden : Data, source & methods
This paper presents a new price series for sugar in Sweden, or more exactly Stockholm, in a long-term perspective (1624–1900). Prior to this, no price data has been available from Sweden for this commodity. The paper is devoted to presenting source-related and technical aspects of the price series, as well as the price series as such. Analysis of the development of prices will be conducted in other papers.<p>
