Using Manuscript Census Samples to Interpret Antebellum Southern Agriculture
Using Manuscript Census Samples to Interpret Antebellum Southern Agriculture The manuscript censuses of agriculture and population for the nineteenth century have proven valuable in a wide range of historical research. Although extreme care has been taken by most researchers who have drawn and used samples, concerns are intermittently raised about the representativeness and validity of the manuscripts and data sets and about the way in which they…

The Distribution of the Income in the Great Depression: Preliminary State Estimates
State-level estimates of income shares for the top one and five percent of the population are presented for 1929, 1933, and 1939. Significant cross-sectional variation is found in 1929, but the range narrows as the shares fall dramatically to 1933. Analysis indicates that property incomes influence the shares but provides little evidence of a tradeoff between per capita income and inequality as measured by the shares

Economies of Scale and Farm Size in the Antebellum Sugar Sector
This article explains the emergence of a plantation economy in the antebellum sugar sector. The hypothesis of increasing returns to scale was tested using a Zellner-Revankar generalized production function model. Economies of scale were found using samples from the manuscript censuses, but these scale economies diminished with size. A second important factor in explaining the size distribution of farms was the dual technology in the manufacturing…
