- In this paper, I test whether there is any evidence of price convergence on inter-continental commodity markets prior to the 19th century. I gather price data on eleven commodity markets important to early modern inter-continental trade. The main conclusion is that many of the commodity markets do show signs of price convergence even prior to the 19th century. The question of an early globalisation can thus not be dismissed as easily as often has been done so far.
