  作者：University of Vermont; Washington University (WUSTL); National Bureau of Economic Research
  摘要：During the Progressive Era, advances in knowledge and specialization led to the emergence of modem-day professions. This growth in professions was accompanied by the adoption of occupational licensing regulation. In this article we explore the origins and effects of occupational licensing regulation during this period. Although most studies argue that occupational licensing regulation is adopted to restrict entry and reduce competition, the evidence from the Progressive Era suggests that regul...

• Colonial institutions and cross-cultural trade: Repartimiento credit and indigenous production of cochineal in eighteenth-century oaxaca, Mexico AI翻译

I find that urban migrants were positively selected - the best of the rural labor pool - and that the economic benefits of migration were substantial. Migrants responde...
• The ties that divide: A network analysis of the international monetary system, 1890-1910 AI翻译
  作者：Flandreau, M; Jobst, C
  摘要：Conventional studies of the late-nineteenth-century international monetary system refer heuristically to core and peripheral countries. In this article, we seek to provide rigorous foundations to such expressions. Applying a formal procedure borrowed from network analysis produces indices of centrality and systematic rankings. We show that the international monetary system of the late nineteenth century is best described as a three-tier system. Other findings include the discovery of a closely...
