  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.

  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.

  摘要：Racial or ethnic wage differentials are common in labor markets composed of easily identifiable groups. This article analyzes a rare source of historical wage data for nonwhite populations. An American labor-market survey of Manila in 1900 revealed that average Chinese wages were about a third higher than Filipino wages. This differential appears to have been in large part an overtime premium that compensated Chinese for their longer workdays; partly it reflected Chinese segregation into highe...
