• Technological change and US productivity growth in the interwar years AI翻译
  作者：Santa Clara University
  摘要：Manufacturing contributed almost all-83 percent-of the growth of total factor productivity in the U.S. private nonfarm economy between 1919 and 1929. During the depression manufacturing TFP growth was not as uniformly distributed, and only half as rapid, accounting for only 48 percent of PNE TFP growth. Yet the overall growth of the residual between 1929 and 1941 was the highest of any comparable period in the twentieth century. This resulted from the combination of a still potent manufacturin...
• Rethinking the Jacksonian economy: The impact of the 1832 bank veto on commercial banking AI翻译
  作者：University of Vermont
  摘要：Revisiting an old debate between traditional historians and New economic historians about the short-run monetary effects of President Jackson's war on the Second Bank, I offer new arguments for the traditionalists. I develop a framework accounting for growth in commercial bank credit based on the investment club characteristics of antebellum state-chartered banking and apply it to state bank balance sheet data for 1830-1836. The removal of the Second Bank indeed magnified the boom in commercia...

• Was the Federal Reserve constrained by the gold standard during the Great Depression? Evidence from the 1932 open market purchase program AI翻译
  作者：University of California System; University of California Berkeley; National Bureau of Economic Research
  摘要：Could the Federal Reserve have reversed the decline in the money supply during the Great Depression without causing a loss of confidence in the U.S. commitment to the gold standard? This article uses the $1 billion expansionary open market operation in 1932 as a crucial case study. Using forward exchange rates and interest rate differentials to measure devaluation expectations, we find virtually no evidence that the large monetary expansion led investors to believe that the United States would...

• Who should govern congress? Access to power and the salary grab of 1873 AI翻译
  作者：University of Colorado System; University of Colorado Boulder; University of Colorado System; University of Colorado Boulder; National Bureau of Economic Research; Northwestern University; Allegheny College
  摘要：We examine the politics of the Salary Grab of 1873, legislation that increased congressional salaries retroactively by 50 percent. A group of New England and Midwestern elites opposed the Salary Grab, along with congressional franking and patronage-based civil service appointments, as part of a reform effort to reshape who should govern Congress. Our analyses of congressional voting confirm the existence of this nonparty elite coalition. Although these elites lost many legislative battles in t...
