It is a widely held belief that significant wage rate differentials existed between Britain and the United States during the period 1790-1830. Indeed, the existence of such differentials is a pivotal factor in at least one theory of the nature and rate of growth of American and British technology and in the explanation of relative factor combinations in the two countries during the nineteenth century
