title: The Aftermath of Sovereign Debt Crises: A Narrative Approach
title: Version 1

description: <p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">This paper investigates the causal effects of sovereign debt crises in a sample of 50 defaulting economies between 1870 and 2010. As default is potentially endogenous, we use the narrative approach to identify plausibly exogenous episodes. We find economically and statistically significant costs of up to 3.2 percent of GDP before recovering to the pre-crisis level after five years. The average aftermath, however, conceals a large heterogeneity by default cause. Defaults originating from negative supply shocks, political crises, or adverse terms of trade are associated with higher costs. Demand shocks, in contrast, have a moderate effect that is quickly reversed.</span></p>

title: [Replication package for] Reconstructing history: Using language to estimate religious spread
title: Archival Version

description: This is the replication package for "Reconstructing history: Using language to estimate religious spread" Forthcoming in the Journal of Economic History, December 2025 issue.<br><br>We introduce a data-driven approach to use language to reconstruct history, and apply the methodology to estimate the geographic origins of religious spread. To validate the approach, we use language data to estimate origins of Islam and Buddhism to within 500km of their true (and uncontested) origins. We then apply the methodology to the more complex (and contested) cases of Christianity, Judaism and Hinduism. We show that language-based estimates, in these cases, are significantly more aligned with the origin of scripture than to the origin of the religion.

title: Political Conflict and Development Dynamics: Economic Legacies of the Cultural Revolution
title: Archival Version

description: <div>This is the replication package for "Political Conflict and Development Dynamics: Economic Legacies of the Cultural Revolution". <br><br>Abstract: <br><br>As a multi-faceted socio-political movement in twentieth-century China, the Cultural Revolution (1966–1976) witnessed conflict and social upheaval. This paper investigates its economic legacies, exploiting geographic variation in revolutionary intensity, measured by the number of resulting deaths. Using a newly assembled county-level panel dataset over five decades, we find worse-affected areas performed slightly better at baseline, but were slower to industrialize. This effect was large in the early 1980s before diminishing to become insignificant by 2000. Using individual-level census data, we find more-exposed cohorts are less likely to obtain higher education degrees and to work in professional and entrepreneurial occupations.<br></div>

title: Financing Late Industrialization: Evidence from the State Bank of the Russian Empire
title: Archival Version

description: Gerschenkron (1962) argued that public institutions such
as the State Bank of the Russian Empire spurred the country’s industrialization.
We test this assertion by exploiting plant-level variation in access to State
Bank branches using a unique geocoded factory data set. Employing an
identification strategy based on geographical distances between banks and
factories, our results show improved access to public banking encouraged faster
growth in factory-level revenue, mechanization, and labor productivity. In line
with theories of late industrialization, we also find evidence that public
credit mattered more in regions where commercial banks were fewer and markets
were smaller.

title: Railroad Bailouts in the Great Depression
title: Archival Version

description: The Reconstruction Finance Corporation and Public Works Administration
loaned 50 U.S. railroads over $1.1 billion between 1932 and 1939. The
government’s goal was to increase employment and decrease the likelihood of
bond defaults. Bailouts appear to have had little effect on employment, but we
estimate that they did increase the average wage of railroad employees.
Bailouts are estimated to have reduced firm debt, but did not significantly
impact bond default. We find some evidence that manufacturing firms located
close to railroads benefited from bailout spillovers.

title: Can Pensions Save Lives? Evidence from the Introduction of Old-Age Assistance in the UK
title: Archival Version

description: We study the impact of old-age assistance on mortality
using the 1909 introduction of public pensions in the UK as a quasi-natural
experiment. Estimating difference-in-differences and an event-time design, we
show that elderly mortality in England and Wales declined with the pension
introduction. The estimated decline is economically relevant, stronger in
counties with more pensioners and driven by fewer deaths from both infectious
and non-infectious diseases. Analyzing full-count individual-level census data
points to a reduction in residential crowding and retirement, especially from
occupations associated with high mortality rates, as likely channels.

It include the replication data and replication code for the figures and tables in the manuscript.<br><br>Between 1910 and 1940, U.S. high school graduation rates rose five-fold, driving twentieth century economic growth. I explore how the Great Depression’s surge in youth unemployment influenced this trend, emphasizing gender and socioeconomic disparities. Using linked census data and newly digitized city-level unemployment rates, I find youth unemployment significantly increased high school and post-secondary completion among higher-income boys, while effects on girls and lower-income youths were negligible. These results underscore the role of household resources in leveraging educational opportunities, as financial constraints limited disadvantaged groups from benefiting from reduced opportunity costs.

In fact, economies in the developed world actually grow more slowly when they grow than poorer economies.</div><div>Several possible reasons for the decline in shrinking and the associated increase in economic stability are considered and found wanting as explanations: structural change, demography, technological change, and stabilization policy.
