• More Power to the People: Electricity Adoption, Technological Change, and Labor Conflict AI翻译
  作者：Lund University; Uppsala University
  摘要：Will technical change spur conflicts in the labor market? In this study, we examine electricity adoption in Sweden during the first decades of the twentieth century. Exploiting that proximity to hydropowered plants shaped the electricity network independently of previous local conditions, we estimate the impact of electricity on labor strikes. Our results indicate that electricity adoption preceded an increase in conflicts, but strikes were of an offensive nature and most common in sectors wit...

• GI Jane Goes to College? Female Educational Attainment, Earnings, and the Servicemen's Readjustment Act of 1944 AI翻译

  摘要：The 1944 Servicemen's Readjustment Act (the G.I.

While several studies examine subsequent educational attainment and earnings for male veterans, little is known about how the G.I. Bill affected the 330,000 American females who served in WWII. Using data from the 1980 5 percent Census Public-use Microdata Sample, I find that female WWI...

  摘要：Has the golden age of U.S. agricultural productivity growth ended? We analyze the detailed patterns of productivity growth spanning a century of profound changes in American agriculture. We document a substantial slowing of U.S. farm productivity growth, following a late mid-century surge-20 years after the surge and slowdown in U.S. industrial productivity growth. We posit and empirically probe three related explanations for this farm productivity surge-slowdown: the time path of agricultural...

• Biological Innovation without Intellectual Property Rights: Cottonseed Markets in the Antebellum American South AI翻译
  作者：University of Michigan System; University of Michigan
  摘要：The Antebellum American South experienced rapid biological innovation centered around an active market for new cotton seed varieties, despite the absence of intellectual property rights. Contemporaries complained new seed was initially offered at high prices, which subsequently collapsed. Using local newspaper evidence, this paper documents this market's operation. It then rationalizes the price movements given the potential of improved seed to multiply at finite rates. The initial prices were...
