My new paper with Romola Davenport (Cambridge) revisits this question using 18th-century data from Sweden and Iceland—and challenges the long-held belief that smallpox CFRs were 20–30%.

Really cool to see Jordan describing how the medieval economy worked! He covers interesting questions like: What is a peasant? How market oriented were medieval people? And what role did horses play in the medieval economy?
