description: Replication Files for <span>Bank Lending and Deposit Crunches during the Great Depression</span><br><br><div>Bank distress was a defining feature of the Great Depression in the United States.</div><div>Most banks, however, weathered the storm and remained in operation throughout the contraction. We show that surviving banks cut lending when depositors withdrew</div><div>funds en masse during panics. This panic-induced decline in lending explains about</div><div>one-third of the reduction in aggregate commercial bank lending between 1929 and</div><div>1932, more than twice as much as attributed to the failure of banks.</div>

title: Replications files for "Winners and Losers from the Protestant Reformation: An Analysis of the Network of European Universities"
title: Version 1

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.

title: Trade Policy, Exchange Rates, and the Globalization Surge of the 1990s
title: Archival Version

description: <span>The decision by developing countries to open up their economies to
foreign trade and investment in the 1980s and 1990s was a momentous event in world
history. How and why did this trade policy revolution take place? Most accounts
of trade politics stress domestic interest groups or trade agreements as
driving policy changes, but these explanations fail in this period. This paper notes
that many import restrictions were imposed for balance of payments purposes, as
a way of avoiding a devaluation and protecting foreign exchange reserves from
depletion under fixed exchange rates. A shortage of foreign exchange in the
mid-1980s forced countries, under the guidance of economists, to shift to a more
flexible exchange rate system that boosted export earnings and made import
controls unnecessary for payments balance. Just as seen during the Great Depression, the exchange rate was a key factor in a country's trade policy.</span><br>

title: Archival Version

description: <div>This paper uses newly digitized data on the growth of the telegraph network in America during 1840–1852 to study the impacts of the electric telegraph on national elections. Exploiting the expansion of the telegraph network in a difference-in-difference approach, I find that access to telegraphed news from Washington significantly increased voter turnout in national elections. Newspapers facilitated the dissemination of national news to local areas. Text analysis on historical newspapers shows that the improved access to news from Washington led local newspapers to cover more national political news, including coverage of Congress, the presidency, and sectional divisions involving slavery.</div><br><br><br>

title: Droughts, Conflict, and the Importance of Democratic Legitimacy: Evidence from Pre-Industrial Europe
title: Archival Version

description: This
research shows that droughts are robustly associated with city-level unrest in
Europe over the years 900 to 1800 CE. This relationship is non-linear, with
disproportionately greater increases in the probability of a conflict among
droughts in the upper tail of the severity distribution. Elected city governments
are relatively immune from drought-induced conflict, while those based on
representation by burghers or guilds are not. These results suggest that local
governments are key for maintaining social stability during economic shocks,
and are most successful when they have a greater degree of democratic
legitimacy.

description: This paper highlights the importance of endogenous changes in the foundations of legitimacy for political regimes. It focuses on the central role of legitimacy changes in the rise of constitutional monarchy in England. It first defines legitimacy and briefly elaborates a theoretical framework enabling a historical study of this unobservable variable. It proceeds to substantiate that the low-legitimacy, post-Reformation Tudor monarchs of the 16th century promoted Parliament to enhance their legitimacy, thereby changing the legislative process from the “Crown and Parliament” to the “Crown in Parliament” that still prevails in England.

title: Ora et Guberna. The Economic Impact of the Rule of St Benedict  in Medieval England
title: Archival Version

description: Within the turmoil of the Norman Conquest, did religious institutions
affect the economic outcomes of their land? Exploiting historical data about
the changes of holdings’ lordship occurred after the Conquest, we compare the
economic performance of estates controlled by different types of lords.
Holdings controlled by Benedictine Monasteries (vis-à-vis secular lords)
experienced a better performance, although, once accounting for the unchanging
upper level of the feudal structure, we cannot fully disentangle this effect
from the persistence of Benedictine overlordship. A comparison with Celtic
monasteries, with a different organisational structure, suggests a role for the
governance structure of Benedictine monasteries.
