• Technical Change, Non-Tariff Barriers, and the Development of the Italian Locomotive Industry, 1850-1913 AI翻译
  作者：University of Rome Tor Vergata; Scuola Superiore Sant'Anna
  摘要：The locomotive industry was one of the relatively sophisticated high tech sectors in which Italy, a late industrializer, was successful before 1913. Using technical data on the performance of different vintages of locomotives, we construct a new industry-level index of technical change. We also study the impact of different policy instruments (import duties, non-tariff trade barriers, and other discretionary interventions) in shaping the development of the industry. Our reassessment reveals no...

• The Multiplier for Federal Spending in the States During the Great Depression AI翻译
  作者：University of Arizona
  摘要：To estimate the impact of federal spending on state incomes, we develop an annual panel data set between 1930 and 1940. Using panel methods we estimate that an added dollar of federal spending in the state increased state per capita income by between 40 and 96 cents. The point estimates for nonfarm grants are higher and for AAA farm grants are much smaller and negative in some cases. The spending led to increase in durable good spending on automobiles but had no positive effects on private emp...
