The 1760s Eastern European school dataset covers a number of Eastern European countries (see Komlos 1986). It is a dataset based on data from military boarding schools. The type of selectivity present is not absolutely clear, but in general, the parents of the students were probably more often in the military, government activities, and other middle and upper class occupations. The data considers birth years from the 1730s to the 1810s (Komlos 1986). The measurements were taken in Austrian feet and inches. There is no occupational data available. The regional information was collected for all observations in 16 regions: Moravia, which is the eastern part of today’s Czech Republic; Bohemia, which lies in the western Czech Republic; Silesia, which is today mainly in Poland as well as the northern Czech Republic and eastern Germany; Steiermark, which is in today’s south-eastern Austria; Hungary; Upper Austria; Lower Austria; Carinthia, which lies in Austria, Italy and Germany; Saxony, in eastern Germany; France; Tyrol, which lies partly in today’s northern Italy and partly in today’s western Austria; Transylvania, which is in today’s east-central Romania; Croatia and a further “other” category.
