What happened to regional inequality in Britain in the twentieth century
New estimates of regional GDP for Great Britain in the twentieth century differ from those of Crafts but confirm his hypothesis of a U-shaped regional inequality curve between 1911 and 2001. Comparison of these estimates with revised estimates for 1861-1911 suggests that the decline in inequality in the first half of the twentieth century forms part of a trend of declining regional inequality and catch-up of the poorer regions with the richest (t…
Regional GDP in the UK, 1861-1911
This article compares the Geary-Stark method for distributing known GDP totals across regions with a variation suggested by Crafts. Tests of the Geary-Stark method confirm that it generates accurate estimates of regional GDP. There are practical and conceptual problems with Crafts' extension, and it is not tested nor is it testable. New estimates of regional GDP for the period 1861 to 1911 contradict Crafts's suggestion of rising regional inequal…

Handloom Weavers in Ulster's Linen Industry, 1815-1914
Despite its title, this book is not about the handloom weaver in Ulster in the tradition of, say, Bythell's classic study of the handloom weaver in England: it is a case-study of aspects of the handloom weaving sector in the mid-Antrim shirting trade. The focus is primarily on issues of work and gender: the gender composition of the labour force and division of labour, formulations of skill and status between the sexes and ‘cultural politics’. Th…
Growth in manufacturing output in Ireland between the Union and the Famine
Trends in real wages during the industrial revolution
This article calculates cost of living indices for Ireland between 1785 and 1870 and real wage indices for agricultural labourers, textile workers, and building workers. These indices show gains in real wages which are not consistent with current hypotheses about widespread pre-Famine immiseration, though textile workers did experience a reduction in earning power. Before the Famine, wages proved sticky downwards in the face of falling prices; af…
Examining Ireland's Post‐Famine Economic Growth Performance
This paper sets out a short--cut method for allocating country level GDP estimates across regions. Comparing UK regional GDP estimates generated using the short--cut method against existing regional GDP figures suggests that it produces acceptable results. We make estimates of GDP for the four countries of the UK for each of the census years between 1861 and 1911. Irish GDP per worker and per caput grew faster than British. These indicators demon…
Deindustrialization in Ireland to 1851
Regional industrial structure and labour force decline in Ireland between 1841 and 1851
The censuses of 1841 and 1851 provide the earliest detailed and consistent data on the occupations pursued by the people of Ireland in the first half of the nineteenth century. This paper presents a series, constructed from this data, on occupations classified by industry for the years 1841 and 1851. Its purpose is to establish the industrial distribution of the labour force for each of the four provinces, to describe the changes in industrial em…
The Act of Union, British-Irish Trade, and Pre-Famine Deindustrialization
odern judgements on the effects of the Act of Union on the Manufacturing sector of Irish industry are influenced by two widely held propositions. The first is that the pre-Famine economy experienced deindustrialization. The second is that Irish manufacturing industries were unable to withstand competition from British producers. MacDonagh states that the creation of a free trade area within the British Isles 'perhaps ultimately determined the rui…
The Belfast cotton industry revisited
Throughout much of the eighteenth, nineteenth and twentieth centuries linen textile production made an important contribution, in terms of output, exports, employment and capital accumulation, to the economy of north-east Ireland. However, for a brief period of a few decades, from the 1780s to the 1830s, the dominance of linen was challenged by a mechanised cotton industry centred on the Belfast area producing both mill-spun yarn and hand- and ma…
