Essays on the Economy of the Old Northwest
Slavery, amenities, and factor price equalization: A note on migration and freedom
Population Transfers and the Post-Bellum Adjustment to Economic Dislocation, 1870–1920
It is argued in this article that the labor market disequilibrium produced by the American Civil War was substantially eliminated through the process of interregional migration of population over the interval 1870–1920. This migration caused the system of regional labor markets to converge toward a “steady-state” equilibrium. It is estimated that the efficiencies introduced by this migration process explain 6 percent of per capita income levels i…
The Profitability of Antebellum Manufacturing: Some New Estimates
Will the lack of hard data forever preclude firm conclusions about the impact of industrialization upon antebellum America? Whether it does or not, it seems unlikely to prevent continuation of one of the liveliest debates in American economic history. Professors Vedder and Gallaway contribute their findings to the controversy, and conclude that the rate of profit on manufacturing capital before 1860 was much lower than recent work has suggested

The Geographical Distribution of British and Irish Emigrants to the United States After 1800
Mobility of Native Americans
Alone woodsman erecting a log cabin, wagon trains curling across the prairies, fur trappers high in the mountains, Indian war parties, gold strikes, frontier marshalls and gunmen—of such stuff the legends of the American West have been formed and in the popular imagination they are the Westward Movement. Of course, serious historians have long recognized that this is merely a fascinating but veneer-like overlay which disguises a massive movement …
Emigration from the United Kingdom to the United States: 1860–1913
Between the years 1860 and 1913 approximately twelve million people took passage from the United Kingdom to extra-European countries. The bulk of the migration stream (about 125,000 people per year) was directed toward the United States; it is this movement of population that is the subject of our article. The flow of individuals from the United Kingdom to the United States in this period ranged from 38,000 in 1861 to 202,000 in 1887 with marked …
The increasing urbanization thesis-did “new immigrants” to the United States have a particular fondness for urban life
The settlement preferences of Scandinavian emigrants to the United States, 1850–1960
The greatest international migration in recent history has been the mass emigration of Europeans to the United States that began in earnest in the 1830's and continued well into the twentieth century. In the period since 1820, when the first records were kept by the Americans, more than 45,000,000 persons have emigrated to the United States.1 While other areas of Europe contributed more emigrants than the Scandinavian countries, probably in no ar…
