A Microlevel Analysis of Danish Dairy Cooperatives: Opportunities for Large Data in Business History

Sharp, Paul LU ; Henriques, Sofia LU ; McLaughlin, Eoin ; Tsoukli, Xanthi and Vedel, Christian (2023) In Enterprise and Society p.1-29
Abstract
We contribute to the argument for a “new” business history employing a quantitative approach. We illustrate opportunities for new perspectives from this approach using a novel microlevel longitudinal database comprising 131 variables for 1,419 cooperative creameries in Denmark for the period 1898–1945, which we also document and make available to the scholarly community. We present a number of applications of the data, including investigating regional productivity differences, expenditure on fire insurance, and survivorship and reporting biases.
