Wealth mobility in the United States
We offer new evidence on the dynamics of wealth holding in the United States over the Civil War decade based on a hand-linked random sample of wealth holders drawn from the 1860 census. Despite the wealth shock caused by emancipation, we find that patterns of wealth mobility were broadly similar for northern and southern residents in 1860. Looking at the determinants of individual wealth holding in 1870, we find that the elasticity with respect t…
Economic Evolution and Revolution in Historical Time
Trade, Politics, and Revolution
The history of the colonies of the lower South remains relatively understudied compared to other regions of colonial British North America. In Trade, Politics, and Revolution Huw David provides important details about South Carolina's merchant-planter elite and their role in mediating transatlantic trading and political relationships. As David convincingly establishes, the merchant elite organizing the colony's trade in rice, indigo, and naval st…
The economic origins of the postwar southern elite
The Cotton Kings
The Cotton Futures Act of 1914 established federal regulations of futures trading for one of the nation's leading agricultural exports, making government inspectors responsible for grading the quality of cotton, empowering the secretary of agriculture to establish differentials in price between grades, and introducing other rules to ensure uniform product quality. In The Cotton Kings Bruce E. Baker and Barbara Hahn offer an account of the events …
Technology Evolution
Technology refers to the techniques by which inputs of labor, capital, and natural resources are transformed into outputs, and technology evolution is the process by which the relationship between inputs and outputs changes over time. Technology evolution is by far the most important cause of improvement in the material standard of living. Although technology has evolved throughout human history it is only since the Industrial Revolution that sus…

Looking for Work, Searching for Workers
The dynamic character of American industrialization produced imbalances between the supply of and demand for labor across cities and regions. This book describes how employers and job-seekers responded to these imbalances to create networks of labor market communication and assistance capable of mobilizing the massive redistribution of population that was essential to maintain the rapid pace of the nation's economic growth between the Civil War a…
Agricultural labor productivity in the Lower South, 1720–1800
Slave Prices in the Lower South, 1722-1815
Using data from samples of probate inventories we construct a series of slave prices for Low Country South Carolina and Georgia covering the period 1722-1815. Using these data we examine variations in slave prices by age and sex, as well as geographic variations between and within the two colonies/states. Nominal slave prices more than doubled between 1722/29 and 1810/15. In real terms, however, there was essentially no change in slave prices def…
South Carolina Slave Prices, 1722-1809
Based on data from several samples of probate inventories we construct and analyze a time series of slave prices for South Carolina from 1722 to 1809. These estimates reveal that prices fluctuated without trend prior to the 1760s and then began to rise rapidly, more than doubling by the early nineteenth century. Estimates of supply and demand functions indicate that while long-run slave supply was highly elastic, the short-run supply function was…
The Sources of Regional Variation in the Severity of the Great Depression
The impact of the Great Depression was milder in the South Atlantic states, more severe in the Mountain states, and surprisingly uniform across other regions of the countly—despite large differences in industrial structere. Employing data on 20 manufacturing industries disaggregated by state, we analyze the relative contributions of industry mix and location to regional variations in economic performance. Industrial composition had a significant …
The Extent of the Labor Market in the United States, 1870-1914
During the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries the spread of railroad and telegraph networks in the United States and Europe, the introduction of steamships on transatlantic routes, and the laying of transatlantic telegraph cables initiated a period of pronounced economic integration within and between countries (Williamson 1996; Thomas 1954; Chandler 1977; Perloffet al. 1965; James 1978). This period was also characterized by a rapid p…

Strikebreaking and the Labor Market in the United States, 1881–1894
Using data from a sample of over 2,000 individual strikes in the United States from 1881 to 1894 this article examines geographic, industrial, and temporal variations in the use of strikebreakers and the sources from which they were recruited. The use of strikebrekers was not correlated with business cycle and did not vary appreciably by region or city size, but employers located outside the Northeast or in smaller cities were more likely to use …
Was There a National Labor Market at the End of the Nineteenth Century? New Evidence on Earnings in Manufacturing
Average annual earnings calculated from the census of manufactures are used to extend previous research on labor market integration in the United States. In contrast to earlier research examining occupational wage rates, census average earnings indicate that a well-integrated labor market had emerged in the Northeast and North Central regions as early as 1879. They also reveal substantial convergence within the South Atlantic and South Central re…
Looking for Work, Searching for Workers
Between the Civil War and World War I the American economy was reshaped by the forces of industrialization. In 1870 the United States was still a predominantly rural and agricultural society concentrated in the area east of the Mississippi River. By the early twentieth century it had become a largely urban and industrial society of continental proportions. The growth of railroads, cities, mines, and factories, along with shifts in the sectoral an…

Slave Prices and the South Carolina Economy, 1722–1809
Based on data from probate inventories we construct and analyze an annual time series of slave prices for South Carolina from 1722 to 1809. Comparison of South Carolina slave prices with those in other parts of the Western Hemisphere and the relationship between slave prices and slave imports indicate that while the long-run supply of slaves was highly elastic, over periods of one to two decades the supply curve was upward sloping. Comparison of …

One Market or Many? Labor Market Integration in the Late Nineteenth-Century United States
This article examines the geographic integration of U.S. labor markets from 1870 to 1898, using previously unexploited wage and price data for 23 occupations in 12 major cities. In contrast to the increasing nationalization found in other markets at that time, the labor market was characterized by large and persistent real wage differentials both within and between regions, leaving little doubt that late nineteenth-century labor markets remained …

Occupational Differences in Labor Market Integration
When labor markets are subject to large demand or supply shocks, as was the case in the late nineteenth-century United States, geographic wage differentials may not be an accurate index of market integration. This article uses a conceptually more appealing measure—the elasticity of local labor supply—to compare the integration of urban labor markets for a variety of occupations in 1890. According to this measure, markets, for unskilled labor and …
