• India and the Great Divergence: Assessing the efficiency of grain markets in eighteenth- and nineteenth-century India AI翻译
  作者：University of Oxford
  摘要：By analyzing a newly compiled data base of grain prices, this article finds that prior to the nineteenth century the grain trade in India was essentially local, while more distant markets remained fragmented.

  作者：Rutgers University System; Rutgers University New Brunswick; Universite Libre de Bruxelles
  摘要：Occupation charges paid by France to Nazi Germany represent one of the largest international transfers and contributed significantly to the German war effort. We employ a neoclassical growth model that incorporates essential features of the occupied economy to assess the welfare costs of the policies that managed the payments to Germany. Our lower bound estimates show that occupation payments required a severe cut in consumption. A draft of labor to Germany and a reduction of real wages added ...
