• The Location of the UK Cotton Textiles Industry in 1838: A Quantitative Analysis AI翻译
  作者：University of Warwick; Humboldt University of Berlin
  摘要：We examine the geography of cotton textiles in Britain in 1838 to test claims about why the industry came to be so heavily concentrated in Lancashire. Our analysis considers both first and second nature aspects of geography including the availability of water power, humidity, coal prices, market access, and sunk costs. We show that some of these characteristics have substantial explanatory power. Moreover, we exploit the change from water to steam power to show that the persistent effect of fi...

  作者：Universite Libre de Bruxelles; Universite de Picardie Jules Verne (UPJV); Universite de Picardie Jules Verne (UPJV)
  摘要：Following Waterloo, managing French public finances represented a daunting task as the country had lost a substantial part of its population and territory and had to pay huge amounts as reparations to the victors. Despite this, in just ten years, France managed to issue substantial amounts of debt with a spread, compared to the British consol, falling from more than 400 to 100 basis points. We argue that the Duke of Wellington was key in creating an environment in which Baring had an incentive...
