title: Exposure to World War II and Its Labor Market Consequences over the Life Cycle
title: Version 1

description: With 70
million dead, World War II remains the most devastating conflict in history.
Among the survivors, millions were displaced, returned maimed from the battlefield,
or endured years of captivity. We examine the effects of such war exposures on
labor market careers, showing that they often become apparent only at certain
life stages. While war injuries reduced employment in old age, former prisoners
of war prolonged their time in the workforce before retiring. Many displaced workers,
especially women, never returned to employment. These responses align with
standard life-cycle theory and thus likely hold relevance for other conflicts.

title: Firm Networks in the Great Depression
title: Archival Version

description: 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 establishmentsin 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 positive shocks to the local supply of credit to other establishments that make up the firm. Our results show the important role of firms in the geographic propagation of local economic shocks

title: Immigration and Development: German-Speaking Agricultural Settlers in the Kingdom of Hungary
title: Archival Version

description: After prolonged warfare between the Habsburg and Ottoman Empires, German-speaking immigrants helped repopulate newly conquered Hungarian lands during the 18th century. Exploiting spatial variation across more than four thousand villages in regions subject to resettlement and German immigration, we find that proximity to 18th-century German settlements predicted higher farm productivity until the early 20th century. Consistent with historical accounts, we explain this persistent productivity effect with the higher human capital and intensive agrarian specialization of German farmers. Development gains from German immigration diffused slowly and only locally, driven by the limited geographical dispersion of Germans, not by inter-ethnic knowledge transmission.

Using a difference-in-difference approach and Nazi Germany as a case study, we show that these policies may have counterproductive effects due to negative selection mechanisms in the marriage market. The excessive pressure to marry exerted on singles results in lower quality, ultimately less fertile, and more fragile unions.

title: Strikes and Machines: Investments in the Norwegian inter-war period
title: Archival Version

description: To what extent do strike threats prompt firms to adopt capital-intensive methods to deter strikes, or labor-intensive strategies to maintain flexibility during work stoppages? We introduce a theoretical model that demonstrates how threats of industrial action influence capital investments through relative factor prices and the power dynamics between workers and employers. Using newly digitized data from 3,141 industrial conflicts and collective agreements in Norway during the interwar period, our findings indicate that strikes generally drive firms toward less capital-intensive technologies. This trend is particularly pronounced in conflicts resolved at the branch or national level, where strike threats may appear more exogenous to firms.

title: How Britain Unified Germany
title: Archival Version

description: Does the location of a state relative to others matter? We argue that a state’s location can affect its bargaining power, and thereby multilateral relations, if trade costs depend on trade routes that pass through other states. This is an important, yet neglected aspect of economic history. We show how an exogenous border change- caused by Britain’s intervention at Vienna in 1815—affected the location and trade routes of Prussia and other German states. We find that this border change led to the formation of the first customs union in history, the German Zollverein of 1834.

title: Replication Package for "Why Moral Cosmology Fails: Eclipses, Omen Discourse, and Political Power in Imperial China"
title: Archival Version

description: <span>This is the
replication package for <i>Why Moral Cosmology Fails: Eclipses, Omen Discourse, and Political Power
in Imperial China</i>, to be published in the <i>Journal of Economic History</i>. This paper examines whether moral cosmology
developed by Confucian scholar-officials functioned as an accountability
mechanism in imperial China. Using an original dataset, we document that solar
eclipses strengthened autocracy, as evidenced by a reduced likelihood of
irregular emperor removal. Although omens like eclipses were theoretically seen
as Heaven’s warnings, in practice, they instead became an instrument serving
those in power. Supporting this interpretation, we find that eclipses increased
the probability of chancellor replacement, enabling emperors to purge dissenters
or exploit factional struggles to shift blame. These findings reveal a
significant gap between omen discourse theory and its political implementation.</span>

title: The Political Economy of Commodity Cartel Formation: The Case of Coffee, 1930-1940
title: Archival Version

description: We inquire how a commodity cartel is created by studying the negotiations between Colombia and Brazil to stabilize the international coffee market in the 1930s. We show how differences between actors involved in the industry within the negotiating countries in terms of land ownership and type of coffee produced prevented early cartelization agreements. Cartelization was only achieved when four factors converged: financial and infrastructural capability to store excess production, in-depth knowledge of the industry by the negotiating parties, full government support, and presence of a third-party enforcer. We combine an innovative game theoretic approach with previously unexplored archival sources.

title: A study of the influence of gastronomic tourism motivation on tourists' behavioural intentions
title: Archival Version

description: <span>This paper explores the structural relationship between tourists’ motivation for gastronomic tourism and tourists’ behavioural intention in gastronomic tourism, and the mediating role of tourists' satisfaction in this relationship. A questionnaire survey was conducted on Chengdu tourists through random sampling, and a total of 510 valid questionnaires were collected.The data were analysed empirically by constructing a structural equation model using AMOS and SPSS software,the results showed that:push motivation has a significant positive effect on tourist satisfaction, in which the gastronomic experience motivation has the greatest influence, followed by the spiritual experience motivation and cultural experience motivation; pull motivation has a significant positive effect on tourist satisfaction, and the degree of completeness of the service packages has the most significant effect on satisfaction, followed by the gastronomic products; the gastronomic experience motivation, the spiritual experience motivation, the gastronomic products motivation and the service packages motivation do not show a significant positive direct influence on the behavioural intention, but can indirectly influence tourists’ behavioural intention by influencing tourists’ satisfaction; tourists’ satisfaction also enhances tourists’<span> intention to recommend and revisit.</span></span>

title: Replications files for "Winners and Losers from the Protestant Reformation: An Analysis of the Network of European Universities"
title: Archival Version

description: Using a new database of European academics, we build a network of universities that is based on professors' mobility. We describe how the network was altered following the Protestant Reformation. We focus on fragmentation and on universities' centrality. Dyadic regressions confirm that geography and vernacular languages were important for mobility, but did not substitute for religion. We compare simulated networks with and without religious identity. Most universities lose centrality in the simulated religious network compared to the non-religious one. As publications per university are correlated with centrality, the loss of connectedness of many universities after the Reformation contributed to their scientific decline.
