2 1.Introduction This paper examines the Columbian exchange and its impact on economic development in the long run. The Columbian exchange refers to the exchange of diseases,ideas,foodcropsandpopulationbetweenthenewworldandtheoldworld following the voyage to the Americas by Christopher Columbus in 1492 (Nunn and Quian, 2010: p. 163). The Columbian exchange brought new crops to the Old World suchasmaize,potatoes,sweetpotatoes,tomatoes,peanutsorcocoabeans.however, theeffectsofthecolumbianexchangewereevenlargerinthenewworldwherethe pre Columbianagrarianstructurewas,insomecases,entirelytransformed.Afterfive centuries of the discovery of the New World, it remains unclear how the Columbian exchange has affected economic development. This study is a first attempt to investigate the impact of the Columbian exchange on the course of comparative economicdevelopment.todoso,wehavecomputedtheproportionofthetotalarea harvestedofnativecropsinagivenyear.then,wecarryoutacross sectionempirical analysis.

For this reason, we study the long run and exploit the cross section variation in this paper. Figure 1 shows the relationship betweeneconomicdevelopmentandourmainvariable,precolumbiancrops,in1960.

The OLS regressions presented in columns (1) and (5) reveal the unconditional positive relationship between our main variable and economic development, captured as the naturallogofgdppercapitaandfoodsupply(kcal/capita/day).
