  作者：University of Toronto; York University - Canada; Pennsylvania Commonwealth System of Higher Education (PCSHE); University of Pittsburgh
  摘要：The American Civil War fractured communities in border states where families who would eventually support the Union or the Confederacy lived together prior to the conflict. We study the subsequent migration choices of Civil War veterans and their families using a unique longitudinal dataset covering enlistees from the border state of Kentucky. Nearly half of surviving Kentucky veterans moved to a new county between 1860 and 1880. We find strong evidence of sorting along ideological dimensions ...

• Benefits of Empire? Capital Market Integration North and South of the Alps, 1350-1800 AI翻译
  作者：University of Groningen; University of London; London School Economics & Political Science
  摘要：This article addresses two questions. First, when and to what extent did capital markets integrate north and south of the Alps? Second, how mobile was capital? Analysing a unique new dataset on pre-modern urban annuities, we find that northern markets were consistently better integrated than Italian markets. Long-term integration was driven by initially peripheral places in the Netherlands and Upper Germany integrating with the rest of the Holy Roman Empire where the distance and volume of int...
• The Rise and Fall of Female Labor Force Participation During World War II in the United States AI翻译
  作者：University of California System; University of California Berkeley
  摘要：I use new data on employment and job placements during WWII to characterize the wartime surge in female work and its subsequent impact on female employment in the United States. The geography of female wartime work was primarily driven by industrial mobilization, not drafted men's withdrawal from local labor markets. After the war, returning veterans and sharp cutbacks in war-related industries displaced many new female entrants, despite interest in continued work. As a result, areas most expo...

• Collective Action and the Origins of the American Labor Movement AI翻译
  作者：Schmick, Ethan
  摘要：This article examines the relationship between collective action and the size of worker and employer groups in the United States. It proposes and tests a theory of union formation and strikes. Using a new county-by-industry level dataset containing the location of unions, the location of strikes, average establishment size, and the number of establishments around the turn of the twentieth century, I find that unions were more likely to form and strikes were more likely to occur in counties wit...
• The Impact of the 1896 Factory and Shops Act on the Labor Market of Victoria, Australia AI翻译
  作者：University of London; Royal Holloway University London; University of Melbourne
  摘要：This article examines the effects of the Victorian Factory and Shops Act, the first minimum wage law in Australia. The Act differed from modern minimum wage laws in that it established Special Boards, which set trade-specific minimum wage schedules. We use trade-level data on average wages and employment by gender and age to examine the effects of minimum wages. Although the minimum wages were binding, we find that the effects on employment were modest, at best. We speculate that this was beca...
