Résumé
Climatic Change and its Impact upon Long-Term Fluctuations of Grain Prices in Europe (16th to 20th Century) The significance of meteorological variables for grain price formation in Central Europe was tested for the period between the mid-sixteenth century and the coming of the railway. The model was based upon monthly estimated measurements of temperature and precipitation. The comparison with the fluctuations of grain prices allowed distinguishing between weather and non-weather impacts. Subsistence crises were touched off by meteorological constellations that included a cold spring and a rainy mid-summer. The contrasts of impact levels in the long run did bear on the intensity and duration of trade cycles, in particular on the price revolution in the sixteenth century.
