Engineering and labor specialization during the industrial revolutionCliometrica - Tập 8 - Trang 173-200 - 2013
Darrell J. Glaser, Ahmed S. Rahman
This paper explores how technological changes affected labor allocations within the U.S. Navy. During the latter nineteenth century, the officer corps was highly specialized, split between groups of line and staff officers. Developments in general purpose technologies created a dilemma for the organization, as it balanced between the benefits of a specialized workforce implementing increasingly co...... hiện toàn bộ

In this article, I investigate the long run relationship between education, industrialisation and growth. I evaluate the impact of primary schooling on the economic development of France between the 1830s and 1914. To do so, I rely on very precise data on education at the level of municipalities. I instrument educational achievements, namely enrolment rates and schooling years, by the proximity of...... hiện toàn bộ

Equilibrium and adjustment of exchange rates in the Chinese silver standard economy, 1928–1935Cliometrica - Tập 7 - Trang 87-98 - 2012
Tai-kuang Ho, Cheng-chung Lai, Joshua Jr-shiang Gau
We examine the equilibrium and adjustment of exchange rates in the Chinese silver standard economy, 1928–1935. We find a robust long-run relationship between the Chinese dollar exchange rate and the metallic value of the Chinese dollar. The deviation from the equilibrium is short-lived and is quickly eliminated by arbitrage activities. We also find that governmental measures to limit free silver f...... hiện toàn bộ
Wily welfare capitalist: Werner von Siemens and the pension planCliometrica - Tập 4 - Trang 321-348 - 2009

The German firm of Siemens and Halske introduced many enterprising features of what later came to be known as welfare capitalism in the mid-nineteenth century. Profit sharing, annual bonuses, a pension fund, a reduction in work hours, and an annual party were all means to ensure a productive, trouble-free workforce. We investigate the reasons why Siemens and Halske introduced this internal welfare...... hiện toàn bộ

John A. James, James McAndrews, David F. Weiman
Before the formation of the Federal Reserve, banking panics were routine events in the United States. During the most severe episodes, banks in cities across the country would often suspend or restrict the par convertibility of their demand deposit liabilities. In diagnosing the causes of the Great Depression, Friedman and Schwartz famously regard these local initiatives as a second best solution,...... hiện toàn bộ

Samuel Standaert, Stijn Ronsse, Benjamin Vandermarliere
Trong bối cảnh toàn cầu hóa đang diễn ra, khái niệm trung lập địa lý mong đợi rằng tác động của khoảng cách lên thương mại sẽ trở nên ngày càng không liên quan. Tuy nhiên, trong ba thập kỷ qua, một loạt các nghiên cứu đã phát hiện ra rằng tầm quan trọng của khoảng cách ngày càng gia tăng trong nửa sau của thế kỷ XX. Bài viết này cố gắng tái cấu trúc cuộc thảo luận này bằng cách mô tả ảnh hưởng của...... hiện toàn bộ
