Abstract

This thesis looks at the academic landscape from the 16th to the 18th century, and more specifically at the interactions between Protestant and Jesuit universities in Europe. We will analyse this problematic through the lens of economic principles such as spatial competition and human capital and how these influenced each other during this period. This thesis aims to highlight the effect that the proximity between these two institutions of different religious movements had on their level of written publications.
