DESCRIPTION:Resulting from work initiated by Sir John Sinclair\, the Stati
 stical Accounts of Scotland were undertaken during 1791-99 and 1834-45\, a
 nd covers the whole of Scotland at a parish level. They include a range of
  quantitative and qualitative information\, including demographic and occu
 pation figures\, prices\, wages and land rents\, but have hitherto not bee
 n subject to systematic empirical analysis. This seminar will focus on the
  background of the Accounts and the empirical data that may be extracted f
 rom them\, before a brief discussion of the spatial economic analysis I ha
 ve proposed to undertake as part of a PhD in economics.
