GECEM Project Database: a digital humanities solution to analyse complex historical realities in early modern China and Europe
(Oxford University Press, 2022-08-12) Díaz Ordoñez, Manuel; Pérez García, Manuel; Economía Aplicada
The GECEM Project Database stands out as a new Digital Humanities solution to accurately order and analyse the new historical Big Data gathered in Chinese and European historical archives. Traditional challenges such as capture, storage, analysis, data curation, searching, sharing, transfer, visualization, querying, updating, and information privacy are being tackled and solved within the design of this new multirelational database. The implementation of this database has as its main innovative elements the capability of coding and cross-referring historical data in Chinese and Western languages. Thus, we present a new database as a digital solution to solve the long-lasting problemin historical research: themaximization and optimization of data collection when analysing historical sources and how tomake use of a large amount of registers and information when developing case studies and work hypotheses for historical research. In this paper, we present a solution for data collection and analysis of probate inventories and trade records which is a relevant source when determining changes in patterns of consumption and global trade through the introduction of Chinese goods into Europe and vice versa during the earlymodern period.

Testing the “trickle‑down” theory through GECEM database: consumer behaviour, Chinese goods, and trade networks in the Western Mediterranean, 1730–1808
(Springer , 2022-09-01) Pérez García, Manuel; Economía Aplicada
Economic historians have used GDP and its backwards projections to quantify economic growth and the process of early globalisation from year 1 CE to the present day. This has generated a lively debate concerning which methodologies are the most accurate for quantitative history and which data are most reliable. In addition, whilst an overwhelming amount of scholarship has emerged on the supply side, the demand side and family economic changes have been less popular in economic history. In this article, I present a concrete case study to analyse consumer behaviour: the circulation of Chinese goods in western Mediterranean markets during the eighteenth century. In so doing, I test the “trickle-down” theory with new archival data using GECEM Project Database, and apply the OLS and SNA to measure the social distribution of these goods through trade networks’ intermediation. The main result is that the agency of middle social groups—mainly merchants—was changing consumers’ behaviour in western Mediterranean markets, and not local oligarchies and nobility as the “trickle-down” theory has conventionally assessed.

Global goods, silver and market integration: consumption of wine, silk and porcelain through The Grill Company via Macao-Canton and Marseille-Seville trade nodes, 18th Century
(Cambridge University Press, 2019-09-23) Pérez García, Manuel; Economía aplicada
New global history studies have provided theoretical models related to different paths of economic growth and consumer behaviour between East Asia (mainly China and Japan) and Europe during the period of the first industrialisation. However, more research challenging the Eurocentric views of the origins of globalisation is needed. In this article, I examine the exchanges of Chinese silks and porcelains and European wines and liquors for American silver through the Swedish Grill Company. This company had extensive business activities in Canton and Macao establishing strategic links and intermediation with other relevant companies from China, Manila, Seville and Marseille. On the global level, such exchanges played a crucial role for the accumulation of American silver in China during the Qing dynasty, and the outflows of Chinese goods to the Americas and Europe fostered market integration and globalisation that occurred earlier than 1820.
