Dear Sakari:

There was a dissertation done in the late 80s/early 90s at the Baptist 
Seminary
in Lexington, KY, with a title, An Analysis of Power in the Jerusalem 
Church...
which deals with economics and famine conditions therein.  I do not know the
person who wrote it.  If you are referring to the Famine of 48, you might also
look at an article I published in Paradigms 1989 regarding that famine and
conditions in Jerusalem, entitled, "Famine in the Land and Dishonesty Among 
the
Faithful: The Story of Ananias and Sapphira in Sociological Perspective",
Paradigms 5/1 (1989): 32-4p.  There is a bibliography there.  If you can't get
it, I might be able to scan it and send it to you as a PDF file.
