  摘要：This article reexamines theories previously advanced to explain Lancashire's slow adoption of ring spinning. New cost estimates show that although additional transport costs and technical complementarities reduced ring adoption rates, these supply-side constraints were not dominant. Instead what mattered most were demand-side factors. Lancashire produced far more fine yams than other countries, and this yam was better spun on mules. Furthermore, Lancashire had a sizeable export trade in yarn, ...

• Capital-goods prices and investment, 1870-1950 AI翻译
  作者：Vanderbilt University; Harvard University
  摘要：The relative price of capital goods, an important component of the user cost of capital, has rarely been incorporated into comparative studies of long-run capital accumulation. This article constructs and explores a data set for capital-goods and equipment prices covering the 1870-1950 period for 11 OECD countries. We document substantial differences across countries in the relative prices of capital goods, but also find convergence in those prices over time. Finally, we show that relative cap...
