Causal Explanation and Model Building in History, Economics, and the New Economic History
Causal Explanation and Model Building in History, Economics, and the New Economic History
Model-Building in the New Economic History
Of all varieties of history the economic is the most fundamental. Not the most important: foundations exist to carry better things. How a man lives with his family, his tribe or his fellow-citizens; the songs he sings; what he feels and thinks when he looks at the sunset; the prayers he raises-all these are more important than the nature of his tools, his trick of swapping things with his neighbours, the way he holds and tills his fields, his inv…
The New Economic History and the Burdens of the Navigation Acts
IN a recent article, Gary Walton attempted to discover and then analyse basic defects of three different measures of burden of Navigation Acts. Like Sir Francis Bacon, he sought a vantage point from which to survey the errors, and wanderings, and mists, and tempests, in vale below.2 The resulting evaluation unfortunately contributed more confusion than enlightenment to an already overcast landscape. In assessing work of Lawrence Harper,3 Walton m…
Discussion of Papers by Lang, DeCanio, Ellsworth, and Lindley
It has been a pleasure to review recent Ph.D. theses and to conclude that our dicipline continues to be enriched by the work of new entrants. The reading also reconfirms a conviction that differing methodologies are not in conflict but contribute each in its own way
Social Rates of Return on American Railroads in the Nineteenth Century
W T rHAT was the social rate of return on investment in American railroads during the nineteenth century? An impressive list of economists have attempted to answer that question: Paul David, Albert Fishlow, Robert Fogel, Lloyd Mercer, and Marc Nerlove.2 All of their results are unfortunately incorrect. This article attempts to explain the nature of their errors and the reasons why social rates of return may not be a useful tool of analysis for th…
New Perspectives on the Disposal of Western Lands in Nineteenth Century America
Professor McClelland reviews two book on land speculation, a traditional historical study by Malcom J. Rohrbough and another which falls in the category of “new economic history” by Robert Swierenga
Railroads, American Growth, and the New Economic History
Robert Fogel and Albert Fishlow have attempted in recent studies to measure the net contribution of the railroad to American economic growth in two specific years: 1890 and 1859. Both their methods and conclusions have confused, if not dismayed, more conventional historians. This article has two objectives: The first is to provide a simplified guide to the analytical framework underlying their calculations and the second is to suggest to both old…
The New Brunswick Economy in the Nineteenth Century
The central problem of the thesis is the retardation of regional growth. The economy of New Brunswick has provided a case in point for over a hundred years. That is to say, real per capita income within the province has tended to lag behind that achieved in competing regions. This competition has been viewed primarily as a scramble for factors of production. The winners were those areas which attracted factors from lagging sectors whenever income…
