  摘要：This article addresses two related questions. To what extent did cities and towns provide African Americans adequate water and sewer services during the era of Jim Crow (1880-1925)? What motivated local governments to allow African Americans access to water and sewerage services? In light of the treatment African Americans received from state and local governments in areas such as education and police protection, it seems odd that blacks would have received any water and sewer service. Two exp...

  作者：Wesleyan University; Harvard University
  摘要：This article presents new annual price indices of equities traded on British exchanges for the period 1870-1913, as a replacement for Smith and Home's widely used index.

  作者：Harvard University
  摘要：This article documents pre- 1940 wage-rental ratios, land-labor ratios, the terms of trade, and other variables for nine countries in the periphery, and joins them to data previously collected for the greater Atlantic economy Commodity-price convergence is found to have been stronger in the preindustrial Third World than in the industrializing Atlantic economy. A previously unnoticed Third World convergence in wage-rental ratios is also documented. It appears that relative factor-price converg...
• The red queen and the hard reds: Productivity growth in American wheat, 1800-1940 AI翻译

  摘要：Standard treatments of U.S. agriculture assert that, before the 1930s, productivity growth was almost exclusively the result of mechanization rather than biological innovations. This article shows that U.S. wheat production witnessed wholesale changes in varieties and cultural practices during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Without these changes, vast expanses of the wheat belt could not have sustained commercial production and yields everywhere would have plummeted due to the i...
