title: The effect of war risk on managerial and investor behavior
title: Version 1

description: With two news-based measures on war, I document that managers mitigated war risk through dividend cuts, arguably to establish a war chest. Moreover, I find that companies postponed their initial public offerings and that foreign companies were more likely to delist after the onset of wars. Investors reacted negatively to the increase in war news coverage. There is evidence of mean-reversion after a threat of war and a negative drift following the start of war. Finally, I highlight the importance of proximity to military conflicts. In general, the evidence indicates that both managers and investors became more risk averse as a consequence of war news.

title: A Western Reversal Since the Neolithic?  The Long-Run Impact of Early Agriculture
title: Archival Version

description: In
this paper we document a reversal of fortune within the Western agricultural
core, showing that regions which made early transition to Neolithic agriculture
are now poorer than regions that made the transition later. The finding
contrasts recent influential works emphasizing the beneficial role of early
transition. Using data from a large number of carbon-dated Neolithic sites
throughout the Western agricultural area, we determine approximate transition
dates for about 60 countries, 280 medium-sized regions and 1,400 small regions.
Our empirical analysis shows that there is a robust negative, reduced-form
relationship between years since transition to agriculture and contemporary
levels of income both across and within countries. Our results further indicate
that the reversal had started to emerge already before the era of European
colonization.

title: The Political and Economic Geography of Southern Secession
title: Archival Version

description: <span>We
study the economic and political determinants of the Southern secession
movement of 1860/61.  While economic
historians emphasize the importance of slavery to the South’s economy as the
primary factor behind the movement, we demonstrate the important role that
political inequality among whites played in facilitating secession. In
particular, secession was decided in state conventions, which allowed
secessionists to exploit biases to representation and may have been pivotal in Alabama
and Georgia. Our results suggest that the region’s investment in slavery alone
may not be sufficient to explain the electoral success of the movement in the
biggest Lower South states.</span>

description: This is the replication package for the article on 'From Complementary to Competitive: The London and UK Provincial Stock Markets'<br><br>For many decades there were stock exchanges operating in provincial
cities across Britain. We analyze why companies listed on these markets, and
how this changed over time. We find that the provincial exchanges had traditionally
been complementary to London, providing a trading venue for smaller regional
companies. However, they gradually lost their uniqueness, and were increasingly
competing with London by listing similar stocks. Much of this change can be
explained by shifts in industrial composition leading to more companies being
headquartered and listed in the capital, and many of the remaining regional
firms cross-listing in London to achieve certification.

title: The Making of a National Currency: Spatial Transaction Costs and Money Market Integration in Spain (1825–1874)
title: Archival Version

description: <span>This article analyzes the integration of the Spanish
money market in the nineteenth century. We use a Band-Threshold autoregression model of prices
of bills-of-exchange in ten cities to measure market convergence and efficiency
in 1825–1875. While price gaps generally decreased during the period, progress
in efficiency was concentrated in a small group of cities. We suggest that
convergence was associated to the reduction in transaction costs, which started
well before the railways through improvements in roads and postal services. By
contrast, the heterogeneous behavior of efficiency might be associated to economic
geography changes and their effects on monetary leadership.</span>

description: <div>This project comprises three databases containing data on firms, products, costs. inputs, outputs, and technology for 448 products made by 70 textile manufacturing firms surveyed over the period 1888-1890 in 16 states and published in the Seventh Annual Report of the Commissioner of Labor, Vol. I (1892). <br></div><div><br></div><div>The firms' names and locations (except region: north or south) were originally hidden, in order to obtain cooperation in revealing firms' competitive data to the U.S. Commissioner of Labor. However, scholars have since discovered most of the textile mill names through careful matching of  information in the report with other sources (see Doane pp. 51-54). Identification of each firm permitted augmenting the data (e.g., transportation costs) using other sources.<br><br>Data were assembled by Doane for his doctoral dissertation research, which analyzed shifts in textile manufacturing after 1880. He evaluated statements by economic historians about the causes of the decline of northern manufacturing. His goal was to evaluate common assertions against empirical evidence in an explicit argument form grounded in economic theory. To this end, he used many data sources to measure and compare manufacturing cost, productivity, and quality of textiles made by firms located in the northern and southern regions. <br><br>Doane transformed and augmented the Commissioner's data, adding categorical variables and imputed costs (transportation, interest, depreciation) to the Commissioner's original data. To adjust for varying cloth width (and thereby facilitate product comparison, classification, and coding) Doane transformed the Commissioner's cost per linear yard to cents per square yard.</div><div><br></div>Originally (1968-1970) the data were keypunched onto IBM cards. In 2019, Doane (then retired from a 44-year academic career) converted, cleaned, and reformatted his data to Excel format to make them available to modern scholars.
