Risk, Uncertainty, and (Entrepreneurial) Profit Before Knight
Though Frank Knight framed its goal as “refinement, not reconstruction,” scholars have not fully appreciated Risk, Uncertainty, and Profit's debt to debates Frederick B. Hawley sparked on entrepreneurial profit. Hawley argued that profit compensated entrepreneurs for relieving capitalists, laborers, and landlords of risk by contracting to pay them fixed sums from their uncertain revenues. John Bates Clark objected that capitalists—not entrepreneu…
Strike Insurance
Turn-of-the-century America witnessed many forgotten risk-making experiments that probed the limits of insurability by stepping beyond the familiar fields of life, fire, and marine insurance. One attempted to underwrite firms’ lost profits during strikes. The ensuing debates on strike insurance’s practicability revealed scientistic expectations of never-ending actuarial progress that united an otherwise-divided business community. Yet attempting …
Evading Capture
Until 1838 the U.S. government lent railroads Army engineers to survey routes. Though not strictly regulators, these army engineers would consequently face powerful versions of the incentives that make regulatory capture a pervasive problem—including an intensified “revolving door,” the opportunity for institutional empire building, and a fertile ground for cognitive capture. Nevertheless, engineering officers would push to abolish federal railro…

A national survey was conducted in 1979 to determine the extent to which state and local vital registration offices coded and stored occupational information reported on death certificates. This survey found that 11 states routinely code occupation, seven routinely code industry, and six have coded occupation and/or industry on a limited basis. State and federal cooperation is needed to facilitate increased use of mortality data for environmental…
