Trade disruptions and early US industrialization
Between 1807 and 1815, US imports of manufactured goods were slashed dramatically by a trade embargo, non‐importation measures, and the War of 1812. These disruptions are commonly believed to have promoted the growth of nascent domestic manufacturers and thereby spurred early US industrialization. This paper uses disaggregated data on US industrial production to investigate how this interruption of foreign competition affected domestic manufactur…
America's First Great Moderation
We identify the longest expansion in U.S. history, a recession-free 16-year period from 1841 to 1856 that we call America's First Great Moderation. Using newer data on industrial production, we show that the record-long expansion was primarily driven by a boom in transportation-goods investment following the discovery of gold in California. Furthermore, the low volatility of industrial production and stock returns during the First Great Moderatio…

An Improved Annual Chronology of U.S. Business Cycles since the 1790s
The NBER's pre–World War I dating of business cycles implies that the U.S. economy spent nearly every other year in recession. This article extends earlier efforts at redating for the 1796–1914 period using a single metric: Davis's (2004) annual industrial production index. The new chronology alters more than 40 percent of the peak and troughs and removes the most questionable cycles. An important implication of this is the lack of discernible di…
The blood factors I and i in primates including man, and in lower species
Human‐type blood factors I and i have been investigated in several primate species including man, and in other mammals. The anti‐I tests were performed with the original antiserum which led to the discovery of blood factor I. The anti‐i serum used was obtained from a patient with severe idiopathic hemolytic anemia. Both antisera were similar in serological reactivity, except for their difference of specificity. Human adults, in general, have bloo…
