• Rain follows the plow and dryfarming doctrine: The climate information problem and homestead failure in the upper great plains, 1890-1925 AI翻译
  作者：University of Arizona; National Bureau of Economic Research
  摘要：The weather-information problem faced by settlers of semi-arid regions of the Great Plains hindered their attempts to adapt their crops, techniques, and farm sizes. Episodes of homestead settlement and collapse in western Kansas in 1893-1894 and in eastern Montana in 1917-1921 are examined. A Bayesian learning model indicates how new climate information was incrementally incorporated to revise views of agricultural prospects. Primary data show homesteaders' lagged response to new drought infor...

• Peasants, lords, and leviathan: Winners and losers from the abolition of french feudalism, 1780-1820 AI翻译
  作者：University System of Maryland; University of Maryland College Park
  摘要：This article investigates the distributional impact of the abolition of feudalism during the French Revolution. Landlords ostensibly benefitted from laws permitting them to raise rents by the equivalent of the former tithe. Increasingly, however, the state appropriated this windfall by raising land taxes. Tenants ultimately shouldered a double burden of higher rents and heavier taxes, and they often responded with acts of evasion. But the new financial pressures on tenants and landlords were o...
