  • La politique commerciale et le commerce extérieur de la France entre 1836 et 1938. Éclairages par les données

    Stéphane Becuwe, Bertrand Blancheton et al.ARTICLEHistoire économie et société2020

    Cet article analyse les dynamiques du commerce extérieur de la France entre 1836 et 1938. Il se fonde sur l’exploitation systématique des données du Tableau général du commerce , publication annuelle qui offre des données bilatérales à différents niveaux de désagrégation. Son fil conducteur consiste à montrer la capacité de la politique tarifaire à puissamment influencer les dynamiques du commerce extérieur : sa répartition géographique, sa conce…

  • Upstart Industrialization and Exports, Japan 1880-1910

    Christopher M Meissner, Christopher Meissner et al.REPORTNational Bureau of Economic…2017

    Japanese exports between 1880 and 1910 increased massively in volume, changed composition, and shifted away from leading industrialized countries toward poorer Asian neighbors. The product mix also varied with the level of development of the destination, with new products and specializations more likely to ship to less developed regional economies. Using a new disaggregated data set of the bilateral-product level exports for the universe of Japan…

  • Does investment in the health sector promote or inhibit economic growth

    Open AccessAaron Reeves, Sanjay Basu et al.ARTICLEGlobalization and Health2013

    BACKGROUND: Is existing provision of health services in Europe affordable during the recession or could cuts damage economic growth? This debate centres on whether government spending has positive or negative effects on economic growth. In this study, we evaluate the economic effects of alternative types of government spending by estimating "fiscal multipliers" (the return on investment for each $1 dollar of government spending). METHODS: Using c…

  • Banking crises and mortality during the Great Depression

    David Stuckler, Christopher M Meissner et al.ARTICLEJournal of Epidemiology and…2012Cited by: 14References: 30

    BACKGROUND: Previous research suggests that the Great Depression led to improvements in public health. However, these studies rely on highly aggregated national data (using fewer than 25 data points) and potentially biased measures of the Great Depression. The authors assess the effects of the Great Depression using city-level estimates of US mortality and an underlying measure of economic crisis, bank suspensions, at the state level. METHODS: Ca…

  • Foreign Capital and Economic Growth in the First Era of Globalization

    Michael D Bordo, Michael Bordo et al.REPORTNational Bureau of Economic…2007

    We explore the association between income and international capital flows between 1880 and 1913. Capital inflows are associated with higher incomes per capita in the long-run, but capital flows also brought income volatility via financial crises. Crises also decreased growth rates of income per capita significantly below trend for at least two years leading to important short term output losses. Countries just barely made up for these losses over…
