• Steers Afloat: The North Atlantic Meat Trade, Liner Predominance, and Freight Rates, 1870-1913 AI翻译
  作者：University of Oxford; University of Oxford
  摘要：Meat transformed North Atlantic shipping, leading to dominance of liners and changed the economics of freight rates. Management coordination of meat shipment led to concentration in shipping. Only liner companies could provide specialized ships with the regularity needed and they dominated North Atlantic shipping. The cargo capacity of cattle ships, beyond that used for animals, lowered freight rates on grain below levels that would otherwise have prevailed. The berth rate on wheat from New Yo...
• The effect of geography and vitamin D on African American stature in the nineteenth century: Evidence from prison records AI翻译
  作者：University of Texas System
  摘要：The use of height data to measure living standards is now a well-established method in economic literature. Although blacks and whites today reach similar terminal statures in the United States, nineteenth-century African American statures were consistently shorter than those of whites.

• The Baring Crisis and the great Latin American meltdown of the 1890s AI翻译
  作者：Santa Clara University; Claremont Colleges; Claremont Graduate University; Claremont McKenna College
  摘要：The Baring Crisis is the nineteenth century's most famous sovereign debt crisis. Using a database of more than 15,000 observations, we assess its effect on emerging market borrowers and find empirical evidence of a regional crisis but not a global crisis. During the crisis, Latin American yield spreads increased by more than 200 basis points relative to the rest of the world, even after controlling for macroeconomic, trade, political-institutional factors, and other country-specific effects. O...
