  摘要：Bank distress peaked in New York City, at the center of the United States money market, in July and August 1931, when the banking crisis peaked in Germany and before Britain abandoned the gold standard. This article tests competing theories about the causes of New York's banking crisis. The cause appears to have been intensified regulatory scrutiny, which was a delayed reaction to the failure of the Bank of United States, rather than the exposure of money center banks to events overseas.

  作者：Hetherington, Bruce W.; Kower, Peter J.
  摘要：In his seminal study on the economics of blockade running during the Civil War, Stanley Lebergott raised the paradoxical question, If smuggling yielded spectacular profit rates, why did so few successful investors try a second time?(1) Using Marcus Price's data on thousands of shipping runs, Lebergott estimated that fewer than(2) ten percent of the runners made more than a single trip through the blockade.

• The First Line of Defense: Inventing the Infrastructure to Combat Animal Diseases AI翻译
  作者：University of California System; University of California Davis
  摘要：Control of livestock disease had large spillover effects on human health. By 1900 the United States was a leader in livestock disease control, thanks to the efforts of the Bureau of Animal Industry. Its first chief, Daniel Salmon, established a model that would be copied around the world in campaigns against human and animal diseases. For the most part, the Progressive Era regulations to advance livestock health and food safety were spectacular successes. The bureau's main blunder was its fail...
