Were British railway companies well managed in the early twentieth century?1
This paper examines major privately owned British railway companies before the First World War. Quantitative evidence is presented on return on capital employed (ROCE), total factor productivity (TFP) growth, cost inefficiency, and speed of passenger services. There were discrepancies in performance across companies but ROCE and TFP typically fell during our period. Cost inefficiency rose before 1900 but then was brought under control as a profit…
Total factor productivity growth on Britain’s railways, 1852–1912: A reappraisal of the evidence
How Did the Location of Industry Respond to Falling Transport Costs in Britain Before World War I
This article explores the location of industry in pre–World War I Britain using a model that takes account both of factor endowment and also of New Economic Geography influences. Broadly speaking, the pattern of industrial location in this period was quite persistent and regional specialization changed little. The econometric results show that factor endowments had much stronger effects than proximity to markets, although the latter was an attrac…
What explains the location of industry in Britain, 1871–1931
Were the new economic geography forces for industry agglomeration and dispersion at work in the movement of industry in pre-1931 Britain where transport costs were falling
Income inequality and the environment: Aggregation bias in environmental Kuznets curves
