Government and unemployment: Reply to De Long
De Long's criticisms of our explanation of unemployment patterns in the United States are empirically false. His assertion that we have the direction of causation reversed collapses in light of the lag between artificially high wages and unemployment. Nor are his claims about the nature of cyclical movements in productivity and real wages consistent with the data. Finally, his contention that the model we present does not work in the post‐World W…

The distributional impact of the eighties: Myth vs. reality
Is there truth to the widespread belief that the ig8os saw a redistribution of income upward, from the poor and the middle class to the rich? While the eighties witnessed an abundance of new and high‐paying jobs and a sharp redistribution of taxes upward, income inequality did increase. But this was not because the poor lost ground but because the rich gained more ground than the poor. In reality, then, the eighties were not only good for the ric…

PROSPERITY AND UPHEAVAL: THE WORLD ECONOMY 1945–1980 by Herman Van der Wee translated by Robin Hogg and Max R. Hall Berkeley: University of California Press, 1987. 621pp., $14.95 Van der Wee uncritically accepts that Keynesianism is responsible for post‐war economic stability. Against this belief, it is argued that an analysis of the historical record shows no significant efforts at countercyclical fiscal management in the post‐war era, while eff…

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

For example, a brief scanning of any major daily newspaper in the United States (say the New York Times) over the past year would produce statements of the following type:1

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 …
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 …

Labor Supply and Mobility in a Newly Industrialized Area
Proposals for Federal Aid to Depressed Industrial Areas: A Critique
For more than a decade in some instances, a substantial number of those communities classified as major labor-market struggled with relatively little success to lift their burden of heavy and chronic unemployment. There is now a consensus that federal assistance is necessary to solve this problem, but at this writing (January 1961) a national policy, and legislation to implement it, has not yet materialized. As the result of efforts initiated by …

An Economic Analysis of Public Policy for the Depressed Areas
There appears to be growing consensus that a rapid rate of over-all economic growth will not alone solve the unemployment problem in the so-called depressed areas; indeed, the geographic shifts in demand resulting from rapid economic growth may only intensify the problem for some communities. Yet, until recently, public policy has tended to emphasize local initiative and responsibility for meeting the problems of adjusting to structural and techn…
The North-South Wage Differential
highly abstracted purely competitive model A of a factor market has as an end result an equalization of factor prices throughout the market. Consequently, the persistence of sizeable regional wage differentials in a national labor market calls for an explanation. An often offered one is that there are barriers to the free flow of resources between regions, barriers such as a lack of labor mobility, high moving costs, lack of labor market informat…

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…
