• On the Road to Heaven: Taxation, Conversions, and the Coptic-Muslim Socioeconomic Gap in Medieval Egypt AI翻译
  作者：Universite de Toulouse; Universite Toulouse 1 Capitole; Toulouse School of Economics
  摘要：Self-selection of converts is an under-studied explanation of inter-religion socioeconomic status (SES) differences. Inspired by this conjecture, I trace the Coptic-Muslim SES gap in Egypt to self-selection-on-SES during Egypt's conversion from Coptic Christianity to Islam. Selection was driven by a poll tax on non-Muslims, imposed from 641 until 1856, which induced poorer Copts to convert to Islam leading Copts to shrink into a better-off minority. Using novel data sources, I document that hi...

• The Impact of World War II on the Demand for Female Workers in Manufacturing AI翻译
  作者：Facebook Inc; University of Arizona
  摘要：Most studies of female workers in the 1940s focus on labor supply. We use the basics of supply and demand to measure the impact of WWII on the short- and medium-run demand for female workers in manufacturing. Demand rose for both salaried and production female workers during the war and then fell after the war. However, the post-war demands for both groups were substantially higher than before the war and higher than the levels that would have been reached had the demands followed a counterfac...

• The Curse of the Caribbean? Agency's Impact on the Productivity of Sugar Estates on St. Vincent and the Grenadines, 1814-1829 AI翻译
  作者：University of Oxford; University of York - UK; University of York - UK
  摘要：This study estimates agency's impact on sugar plantation productivity using a unique early nineteenth-century panel data set from St. Vincent and the Grenadines. Results of fixed effects models, combined with a qualitative and quantitative analysis of potential endogeneity of the agency variable, provide no evidence that estates managed by agents were less productive than those managed by their owners. We discuss the results in the context of the historical and recent, revisionary, interpretat...
