  • Shut down and shut out

    Open AccessCarolyn M Moehling, Gregory T Niemesh et al.ARTICLECliometrica2026

    In 1900, women constituted more than 10 percent of practicing physicians in some cities, but the share of American physicians who were female declined in the early twentieth century. This decline is often linked to the professionalization of medical practice and associated changes in medical education that led to a wave of medical school closures. Using a newly constructed panel dataset of medical colleges, we show that women’s access to medical …

  • Unions and the Great Compression of wage inequality in the US at mid-century

    Open AccessWilliam J Collins, William Collins et al.ARTICLEThe Economic History Review2019Cited by: 8References: 40

    This article tests whether places with higher exposure to unionization during the 1940s, due to their pre-existing industrial composition, tended to have larger declines in wage inequality, conditional on local economic and demographic observables and regional trends. We find a strong negative correlation between exposure to unionization and changes in local inequality from 1940-50 and 1940-60. This does not appear to be underpinned by skill-spec…

  • Revising Infant Mortality Rates for the Early Twentieth Century United States

    Open AccessKimmo Eriksson, Katherine Eriksson et al.ARTICLEDemography2018Cited by: 7References: 20

    Accurate vital statistics are required to understand the evolution of racial disparities in infant health and the causes of rapid secular decline in infant mortality during the early twentieth century. Unfortunately, U.S. infant mortality rates prior to 1950 suffer from an upward bias stemming from a severe underregistration of births. At one extreme, African American births in southern states went unregistered at the rate of 15 % to 25 %. In thi…
