Firm Networks in the Great Depression
We study how firms allocate resources across their constituent establishments in response to local economic shocks in the context of the Great Depression. Using establishment-level data from the Census of Manufactures, we find that establishments in multi-plant firms are affected by local shocks in the regions in which the other establishments comprising the firm are located. In particular, establishment employment is positively affected by posit…
Can the Great Compression be explained by Wartime Wage Controls
La "Doña" è Mobile
We use data from marriage records in Murcia, Spain, in the eighteenth century to study the role of women in social mobility in the pre-modern era. Our measure of social standing is identification as a don or doña, an honorific denoting high, though not necessarily noble, status. We show that this measure, which is acquired over the lifecycle, shows gendered transmission patterns. In particular, same-sex transmission is stronger than opposite-sex,…
Labor Earnings Inequality in Manufacturing during the Great Depression
We study labor earnings inequality during the Great Depression using establishment-level information from the Census of Manufactures (COM). Inequality, as measured by the interquartile range in earnings per worker, declines by 10 log points between 1929 and 1933. However, by 1935, this difference has recovered to its 1929 level. In a decomposition, this decline and then rise in inequality is entirely explained by returns to observable factors, mo…

Socioeconomic status and judicial disparities in England and Wales, 1870–1910
The History of Technological Anxiety and the Future of Economic Growth
Technology is widely considered the main source of economic progress, but it has also generated cultural anxiety throughout history. The developed world is now suffering from another bout of such angst. Anxieties over technology can take on several forms, and we focus on three of the most prominent concerns. First, there is the concern that technological progress will cause widespread substitution of machines for labor, which in turn could lead t…
Did the National Industrial Recovery Act Foster Collusion? Evidence from the Macaroni Industry
We use plant-level data from the Census of Manufactures to study collusion in the United States macaroni industry during the Great Depression. The National Industrial Recovery Act was passed in 1933 to promote recovery through industry coordination of economic activity. While there is no change in the price-cost margin after the law is passed, a variety of markers of anti-competitive conduct suggest that collusion indeed increased. Prices became …
Cementing the case for collusion under the National Recovery Administration
Shell Object from Manitoba
The shell object, illustrated in Fig. 56, was excavated on the Lowton site, Manitoba, (S.W. Sec. 26, T. 5, R. 16, W. 1st). The date of recovery was September 18, 1945; it was found in Excavation 3, lay at a depth of 15 inches below the surface, and was associated with common Lowton site material
The Pine Fort on the Assiniboine River
A Copper Trade Object from the Headwaters Lakes Aspect in Manitoba
The spread of the Headwaters Lakes Aspect in a northwesterly direction through Manitoba, has been the subject of previous comment by the senior author. The manifestations of the aspect in this area, have a marked resemblance to the Black Duck Focus, and have been defined as the Manitoba Focus.The factual data upon which this conclusion is based are derived from three controlled excavations in Manitoba. Hecker and Hlady excavated the Lockport site…
Unique Artifact from Manitoba
During the month of May, 1948, Dr. Douglas Leechman of the National Museum, Ottawa, spent some time on the northern Plains. Included in his Manitoba itinerary was a rapid survey of the more important sites in the southcentral portion of the province. While on the Lowton site (S. W. Sec. 26, T. 5, R. 16, W. 1st.), one of the party, Dr. R. D. Bird of Brandon, Manitoba, recovered from the surface the curved knife with the deliberately fashioned scra…
Burial Traits of the Headwaters Lakes Aspect in Manitoba
Lloyd A. Wilford, in an excellent paper on the Headwaters Lakes aspect, points out that two of its important traits are primary burials, 'often in a sitting position,' and 'small mortuary vessels ... .' Wilford's work in Minnesota has provided certain clues as to the source of the mounds in Manitoba, the traits above mentioned being among the most important.Archaeological work in Manitoba has been exceedingly sketchy and often extremely careless.…
Archaeology in the Rock and Pelican Lake Area of South-Central Manitoba
The notes which follow are the work of an amateur. I am fully aware of the possibility that all of the conclusions, speculations, and suggestion s contained in them may be refuted by further inquiry. This would not be unwelcome, for the main reason for compiling the material was the hope that some day The National Museum of Canada and the various scientific institutions in the province would attack the intriguing problems of our archaeology. The …
