Main AuthorHypothesis
Leavitt, Gregory C.Controlling for simple societies, incest taboo extension is negatively associated with military, transportation, and communication technology as well as economic differentiation, settlement size, and trade (116, 119, 124).
O'Brian, RobinThe gender of weaver will be associated with trade (33).
Pryor, Frederic L.An association between extensive trade and money is more likely to be found in external commercial transactions than in internal commercial transactions (407).
Naroll, Raoul"We found trade to be more frequent in more peaceful decades than in less peaceful ones. So too we found the exchanges of culturally influential elites such as visiting teachers, students, missionaries, royal brides, entertainers, or hostages to be more frequent in the peaceful decades"
Naroll, Raoul"Territorial gain proved unrelated to one-sided benefits [subsidy, women or honors conferred by one state on its rival] or trade. However . . . there may be a relationship between cultural exchange and territorial gain" (339-340)
Naroll, RaoulAn intercorrelation of the independent variables revealed the following "communication cluster". Civil war was correlated significantly with intense diplomacy; and capital city located near the frontier was correlated significantly with the following variables: absence of natural barriers, trade, and cultural exchange (341, 342)
Bowden, Edgar"Traits [loading above .5 on] rotated factor Index of Social Development [are]: permanency of residence, group life, agriculture, use of grain for food, constancy of food supply, domesticated animals other than herded, mining and smelting of metals, metals obtained from outside, pottery, weaving, money or other standard medium of exchange, trade, private property in land, power vested in a chief, codified laws, authority of judges, plutocracy, and organized priesthood" (456)
McNett, Charles W., Jr.Findings: A factor analysis of traits used to develop a settlement pattern scale of cultural complexity yielded three important factors. Factor 6, "Economic" (oblique rotation), loaded heavily and positively on property, trade, and status variables (245)
Korotayev, Andrey V.The importance of trade will be related to warfare frequency (42)
Rudmin, Floyd WebsterCertain characteristics of societies will be significantly correlated in the same direction with both Simmons' (137) and Murdock's (1967) measures of private property ownership.
Dickens, Andrew Post-1500 ethnic groups residing in land with high-productive variation will have increased inter-ethnic trade for subsistence and food.
Osafo-Kwaako, PhilipPolitical centralization will be predicted by population density, frequency of being attacked, and trade in the worldwide sample, but not in the Africa sub-sample.
