• Understanding the Gender Gap Further: The Case of Turn-of-the-Century Swedish Compositors AI翻译
  作者：Lund University
  摘要：To better understand the historical gender wage gap, we investigate the wages of Swedish compositors circa 1900 using a rich data set of matched employer-employee information with national coverage. In line with previous findings, women earned about 70 percent of men's wages on average. Individual and job characteristics explain much of this shortfall. Firm characteristics or firm fixed effects, on average, explain 17 percent of the gap, though the firm mattered more for the gender gap in big ...

• The Effects of World War I on the Chinese Textile Industry: Was the World's Trouble China's Opportunity? AI翻译
  作者：Jinan University
  摘要：This paper uses an unexpected trade disruption due to World War I to study how a temporary reduction of imports affects the entry of industrial firms. I construct a new transportation network to capture counties' exposure to this trade shock and compile panel data to examine the impact on China's manufactured textile industry. I find that counties with greater prewar exposure to international trade experienced more firm entry after the war. The effect was delayed because the war simultaneously...

  摘要：How did the Prussian three-class franchise, which politically over-represented the economic elite, affect policies? Contrary to the predominant and simplistic view that the system allowed the landed elites to capture most political rents, we find that members of parliament from constituencies with a higher vote inequality support more liberal policies, gauging their political orientation from the universe of roll call votes cast in parliament during Prussia's rapid industrialization (1867-1903...

• The Privatization Origins of Political Corporations: Evidence from the Pinochet Regime AI翻译
  作者：Pontificia Universidad Catolica de Chile; City St Georges, University of London
  摘要：We show that the sale of state-owned firms in dictatorships can help political corporations to emerge and persist over time. Using new data, we characterize Pinochet's privatizations in Chile and find that some firms were sold underpriced to politically connected buyers. These newly private firms benefited financially from the Pinochet regime. Once democracy arrived, they formed connections with the new government, financed political campaigns, and were more likely to appear in the Panama Pape...
