Relationship Lending and the Great Depression
The collapse of long-term lending relationships amplified the Great Depression. We demonstrate this by developing a new measure of lending relationships that can be calculated from widely available data at any level of aggregation. Our approach exploits differences in the responsiveness of loan rates to bank funding costs and is supported by historical evidence and theoretical arguments. The new measure reveals that the marginal impact of bank su…
Can China's Covid-19 strategy work elsewhere?
Rapid decline in cases is real, expert mission concludes—but it came at a high cost.
Countries test tactics in ‘war’ against Covid-19
Lockdowns and closings proliferate, but virus testing and contact tracing are lagging.

The Medium Is the Measure: Technical Change and Employment, 1909—1949
New indicators, based on technology titles, are used to measure the impact of innovative activity on the U.S. labor market between 1909 and 1949. We find that positive technology shocks raised productivity, employment, vacancies, and labor turnover and lowered unemployment and business failures. Moreover, automotive and electrical innovations (quintessential general-purpose technologies) had a greater positive impact on employment than those in m…
Impact of Web Survey Invitation Design on Survey Participation, Respondents, and Survey Responses

Using the SurveyMonkey “end page,” a page that is displayed nearly 3 million times daily to survey respondents who have completed a user-created survey, this article examines whether the type of image and text that are displayed on the end page has a large impact on survey participation, whether different i…

Minister at the time, drew Parliament's attention to the severity of problems in the area and thus to the need to ensure that the members of the commission were 'persons who enjoyed the fullest confidence of Parliament . . . and of the entire country'.3 It is thus not surprising that the final report of the commission, contained in I2 volumes, provides the most comprehensive, detailed, and accurate portrait available of farming in southern Italy …

The Achievements of Economic History: The Marxist School
It is impossible within the confines of a short paper to provide an adequate survey of the main works in Marxist economic history. The most that can be done is to introduce a limited number of issues that best illustrate the contributions of Marxist scholars. The topics covered in this paper include feudalism and the decline of serfdom, the transition to capitalism, the crisis of the seventeenth century, the English Civil War, and the rise of fac…

Financing Industrialization in Italy, 1894–1914: The Partial Transformation of a Late-Comer
Italy's rapid industrial growth, which began in the mid-1890's, was preceded and accompanied by important developments in her financial institutions, including in particular the establishment of several industrial credit banks on the German model. The role of such banks in French and German industrial growth before 1914 has been the subject of considerable study. It is the purpose of this article to examine the effects of these banks on the rate …
Finance and Industrialization in Italy, 1894–1914
My thesis is a study of finance and industrialization in Italy between 1894 and 1914. Alexander Gerschenkron has argued that the years between 1896 and 1908 in Italy were the years of her “big spurt,” basing his analysis largely on an index of industrial production which he prepared for the period 1881-1913. In many cases the value of output was estimated by the value of inputs; in these instances, value added by industry was understated. In a nu…
