General references
As almost none of the original height variation estimates entered the
data set unchanged, the general reference which should be cited is
Jörg Baten and Matthias Blum, “Anthropometric within-country
Inequality and the Estimation of Skill Premia with Anthropometric
Indicators”, Review of Economics -- Jahrbuch fuer
Wirtschaftswissenschaften 62-2 (2011), pp.107-138.
But as the underlying height data comes from a variety of sources, here
is the complete list:
(we first reported authors and year; then author with first name;
finally title)
Apart from those individual titles, are results are based on the
literature referenced in overview studies such as Floud (1994); Hiernaux
(1968); and recently Schnaitmann (2007). The Hiernaux (1968)
bibliography is excerpted at the end of this list.

In 2010, the Netherlands Organisation for Scientific Research (NWO) awarded a subsidy to the Clio Infra project, of which Jan Luiten van Zanden was the main applicant and which is hosted by the International Institute of Social History (IISH). Clio Infra has set up a number of interconnected databases containing worldwide data on social, economic, and institutional indicators for the past five centuries, with special attention to the past 200 years. These indicators allow research into long-term development of worldwide economic growth and inequality.
Global inequality is one of the key problems of the contemporary world. Some countries have (recently) become wealthy, other countries have remained poor. New theoretical developments in economics - such as new institutional economics, new economic geography, and new growth theory - and the rise of global economic and social history require such processes to be studied on a worldwide scale. Clio Infra provides datasets for the most important indicators. Economic and social historians from around the world have been working together in thematic collaboratories, in order to collect and share their knowledge concerning the relevant indicators of economic performance and its causes. The collected data have been standardized, harmonized, and stored for future use. New indicators to study inequality have been developed. The datasets are accessible through the Clio Infra portal which also offers possibilities for visualization of the data. Clio Infra offers the opportunity to greatly enhance our understanding of the origins, causes and character of the process of global inequality.
