title: Massachusetts Corporations Accounting Data, 1870-1895 and Accountants' Index Publications
title: Archival Version

description: This is the replication package for "Balancing the Books: Convergence and Diversity in Accounting, 1875-1895." <span>The late nineteenth century is often described as an era of innovation in managerial practice, including accounting. However, despite rich case studies of individual firms, we have little quantitative knowledge of average practices. This paper uses errors and omissions in balance statements to estimate the prevalence of double-entry bookkeeping and depreciation at Massachusetts corporations between 1875–1895. In 1875, 60 percent of firms balanced their returns, but by 1895 this number exceeded 96 percent. The proportion considering depreciation increased from 18 to 24 percent over the period. Firms using these techniques survived longer on average.<br><br>All tables and graphs except for Figure 4 use the data in the excel sheet titled "Mass Corps Accounting, 1870-1895." The stata do file includes, in order of the paper, code for the relevant tables and figures. Where they were constructed in excel, the do file notes this in the text. Figure 4 uses citation counts from the Accountants' Index, and these as well as how they were obtained are described in the excel file "Figure 4_Topics in the Accountants Index."</span>

title: Replication for "The cream of the crop? geography networks and Irish migrant selection" (Journal of Economic History)
title: Archival Version

description: This is the replication package for "The cream of the crop? geography networks and Irish migrant selection" (Journal of Economic History). <br><br>Summary: During the Age of Mass
Migration (1850-1913), Ireland had a higher emigration rate than any other
major migrant sending country. This paper examines how emigrants from Ireland
compared to the people they left behind. Irish emigrants were
disproportionately drawn from poorer farming and less literature households
(negatively selected), and this negative selection was exacerbated by high
emigration from communities with established migrant networks.<br>

title: Longitudinal Database of Civil War Recruits from Kentucky, 1860-1880
title: Archival Version

description: This is a replication package for "Ideology and Migration after the American Civil War," published in the <i>Journal of Economic History.</i> The American Civil War fractured communities in border states where
families who would eventually support the Union or the Confederacy lived
together prior to the conflict. We study the subsequent migration choices of
Civil War veterans and their families using a unique longitudinal dataset
covering enlistees from the border state of Kentucky. Nearly half of surviving
Kentucky veterans moved to a new county between 1860 and 1880. We find strong
evidence of sorting along ideological dimensions for veterans from both sides
of the conflict. However, we find limited evidence of a positive economic
return to these relocation decisions.

title: Social Mobility in the Long Run: An Analysis of Tongcheng, China, 1300 to 1900
title: Archival Version

description: This paper studies the strength of the relationship between parental income and child income over the period 1300 to 1900, when many social changes, such as the erosion of hereditary class barriers, took place. The rich information in genealogies are used to examine social mobility across a representative socioeconomic population of ranging from commoners to elites. The results indicate, first, that intergenerational mobility in this sample population changed over time. Second, the changes correspond to a substantially higher level of mobility in the 19th century compared to the 17th century. Third, an inverse correlation between mobility and inequality can be seen in the time-series, implying social mobility for birth cohorts characterized by high inequality tends to be low, and vice versa.

title: Lottery-Based Elections, Power Monopolization, and Urban Development: The Case of Swiss City-States, 1666-1794
title: Archival Version

description: Early modern urban parliaments suffered an increasing monopolization of political power that hampered urban development. To combat power monopolization, some Swiss city-states reformed their election system by randomly selecting political representatives from a pre-elected pool of candidates. We implement a difference-in-differences design and find that lottery-based election systems improved the equality of distribution of political seats within parliaments. Lottery-based elections also had positive effects on trade tax revenues, trade volumes, and infrastructure expenditures. We explain this finding by showing that lottery-based election systems fostered the election of merchants to top political positions.
