Pitted but not pitied’ or, does smallpox make you small?
The UK dataset of prisoners who were transported to New South Wales, Australia, was collected by Deborah Oxley and her colleagues and analysed in order to answer several questions, including a study on the effects of smallpox. The dataset needs to be carefully studied in terms of potential selectivity, as Oxley (2006) did. The level of regional disaggregation include the larger geographic units of Ireland, London, as well as rural and urban England. The coverage of the data is from the 1750s to the 1820s.
