Catalonia’s eighteenth-century economic growth and the Bourbon State Authors David Ferré Gispets Universitat Pompeu Fabra DOI: 10.2436/20.1000.01.212 DOI: 10.2436/20.1000.01.217 Keywords: Catalonia, economic growth, state, eighteenth century, Bourbon Abstract The influence of the state and institutions in economic growth is a field of study that has burgeoned in recent years. Below we will survey the influence that certain reforms undertaken by the governments of Bourbon Spain had on the economic growth that Catalonia experienced in the eighteenth century. To do so, we will compare the existing studies on the state’s spheres of action in Catalonia’s fiscal and productive apparatus. Likewise, in order to assess the real scope of their impact, we will describe the more far-reaching underpinnings and determinants of Catalonia’s economic transformation during that period.
