The Scale of Production in Western Economic Development: A Comparison of Official Industry Statistics in the United States, Britain, France, and Germany, 1905–1913
We use census data and information on large firms to generate descriptions of structural features of Western industry around 1906. We find that although the United States conforms to existing stereotypes, most other nations do not. German industry stands out as having the smallest plants and firms and the lowest concentration levels both in the aggregate and when grouped by industrial classifications. Equally startling, French levels of plant siz…

Guerre, commerce, guerre commerciale: L'Économie Politique Des Échanges Franco-Anglais Réexaminée
Au cours des deux dernières décennies, nos idées sur l'histoire économique moderne de la France et de l'Angleterre ont fait l'objet d'un sérieux réexamen. Les travaux concernant le poids de la fiscalité de part et d'autre de la Manche (Mathias et O'Brien, 1976 ; O'Brien, 1988) ont modifié nos vues sur la place relative de l'État dans les deux pays à la fin du XVIIe et au XVIIIe siècle. Sans nécessairement rectifier les thèses bien connues d'Hecks…
The Myth of Free-Trade Britain and Fortress France: Tariffs and Trade in the Nineteenth Century
This examination of official commercial statistics suggests that the conventional wisdom regarding early free-trade efforts of Britain and France is wrong. French average tariff levels were, surprisingly, consistently below those of Britain throughout most of the nineteenth century, even after the abolition of the Corn Laws and before passage of the 1860 Treaty of Commerce. Previous scholarship has focused on French commercial policies covering a…

Male-Female Wage Discrimination in Nineteenth-Century France
Traditional male-female wage discrimination measures rely on residuals from earnings functions that standardize for observable characteristics. But many productivity determinants are unobservable, and existing proxies for them are often difficult to interpret. Instead of using the earnings-function approach, we estimate production functions, using data from the 1839–45 and 1860–65 French industry censuses for textiles. While most of our findings …

Firm Size and Economic Backwardness: A New Look at the French Industrialization Debate
This article challenges the traditional view of French industry-that small, inefficient family firms retarded France's economic growth-by examining data for the French textile and flour milling industries taken from the industry census of 1861-1865. The evidence suggests that the average size of French firms suited the economic and technological conditions of the day. The industries studied exhibit constant returns to scale over a wide output ran…
