• Globalization, immigration, and Lewisian elastic labor in pre-World War II Southeast Asia AI翻译
  作者：University of Glasgow
  摘要：Between 1880 and 1939 Burma, Malaya, and Thailand received inflows of migrants from India and China comparable in size to European immigration in the New World. This article examines the forces that lay behind migration to Southeast Asia and asks if experience there bears out Lewis's unlimited labor supply hypothesis. We find that it does and, furthermore, that immigration created a highly integrated labor market stretching from South India to Southeastern China. Emigration from India and Chin...

• Slave purchasing strategies and shipboard mortality: Day-to-day evidencefrom the Dutch African trade, 1751-1797 AI翻译
  作者：Parnassia Psychiatric Institute; University of Hull
  摘要：The mortality of enslaved Africans in the Atlantic crossing has long preoccupied historians but the relationship between slave traders' purchasing strategies and slave mortality rates in transit has escaped close investigation. We address these issues by using records of 39 eighteenth-century voyages of the Dutch Middel-burgsche Commercie Compagnie. These allow shipboard mortality rates of enslaved Africans to be estimated. They also reveal previously un-noticed age- and gender-based variation...

• Emergence of endogenous legal institutions: Property rights and community governance in the Italian Alps AI翻译
  作者：Purdue University System; Purdue University
  摘要：This article examines changes in institutions that protected property rights in the Alps between the thirteenth and the nineteenth century and, in particular, alternative management systems adopted for the common pastures and forests in about 200 communities. Over time, private-order institutions in the form of charters replaced informal arrangements sustained by the long-run interaction among villagers. Although costly to run, the charters accomplished several tasks that increased resource us...
• The engine or the caboose? Resource industries and twentieth-century Canadian economic performance AI翻译
  作者：Queens University - Canada; Queens University - Canada
  摘要：The Canadian economy, already wealthy, diverse, and relatively industrial at the dawn of the twentieth century, had not yet outgrown its reliance on resource-intensive production. Empirical evidence indicates that the exploitation of Canada's natural resource endowment made direct and indirect contributions to the size and efficiency of the twentieth-century domestic economy. I conclude that the concentration of capital and labor in resource industries did not constrain the rate of change of C...
• Two centuries of productivity growth in computing AI翻译
  作者：Yale University; Yale University
  摘要：The present study analyzes computer performance over the last century and a half Three results stand out. First, there has been a phenomenal increase in computer power over the twentieth century. Depending upon the standard used, computer performance has improved since manual computing by a factor between 1.7 trillion and 76 trillion. Second, there was a major break in the trend around World War II. Third, this study develops estimates of the growth in computer power relying on performance rat...
