© Koninklijke Brill NV, Leiden, 2013.At the end of the sixteenth and the beginning of the seventeenth centuries the Celali revolts resulted in wide-scale destruction throughout the entire Anatolian region. While research has been done on the general effects of this destruction, in-depth work investigating the economic consequences of the Celali revolts based on extant economic data has yet to be undertaken. Using archival material it is, however, possible to show the economic effects of these revolts. Taking the fall in tax collected by the state from the population as a result of the Celali revolts, this article aims to show how these revolts affected the economic structure of the state. By comparing the levels of avariz taxes collected before and after the revolts, and by trying to establish the levels of tax set according to the tax unit, the avariz hanes, the article thus sets out the economic impact the revolts had in Anatolia.
