Abstract

This chapter examines two historical events that shaped the Paraguayan nation: Jesuit missions in the Guaraní region and the War of the Triple Alliance. We revisit the literature on the effects of the religious order on human capital, stressing causal identification strategies, as well as on the conflict’s impact on socioeconomic outcomes and gender norms. In addition, we show novel evidence on the cultural mechanisms of missions and present a new analysis of the marriage market for postwar Paraguay. We conclude and suggest directions for future research, indicating additional events relevant to the making of modern Paraguay.
