The Right to Retract and the Danger of Retractions
Reconstructing a Longitudinal Dataset for Tasmania

Public Policy and Professional Sports
Public Policy and Professional Sports is a comprehensive analysis of public policy aspects of the economics of professional sports, supported by in-depth international case studies. It covers regulation and competition in the sports industry and its labour markets, public spending on stadiums and mega-events, and governance issues including unethical behaviour (corruption, doping, etc). The innovative feature of the work is the combination of eco…
The Cambridge Economic History of Australia
Australia's economic history is the story of the transformation of an indigenous economy and a small convict settlement into a nation of nearly 23 million people with advanced economic, social and political structures. It is a history of vast lands with rich, exploitable resources, of adversity in war, and of prosperity and nation building. It is also a history of human behaviour and the institutions created to harness and govern human endeavour.…
Did Good Institutions Produce Good Tariffs? Evidence From Tariff Protection in Colonial Victoria
Were tariff rates in the Australian colony of Victoria directed towards growth‐enhancing industries or rent seekers? Recent research suggests tariffs may be welfare enhancing if they are directed at industries with positive externalities; something more likely when institutions are strong. Using disaggregated tariff data for the years 1872, 1880, and 1890, we analyse the relationship between industry characteristics and tariffs, finding little ev…
Measuring Inequality Trends in Colonial Australia Using Factor–price Ratios
Previous research on nineteenth century globalisation argues that during the second half of that century wage–rental ratios in labour scarce, land‐abundant new world economies decreased. This suggests inequality rose in the new world. Australia has been cited as a conspicuous example of this trend. The paper re‐examines this argument using disaggregated land and wage data for four Australian colonies. We reveal large regional differences in both …

Freedom and Discipline
Leisure and the Private Sphere
The use of the concept “private sphere” to locate leisure carries with it many unstated assumptions about the nature and function of leisure in modern society. The distinction made today between private and public spheres is industrial capitalism. Our idea of the private sphere is shaped by cognate ideas about specialized roles, private property and rational administration. Liberal criticisms of the modern tendency to withdraw into the private sp…
