title: Replication data for: The Political Economy of the Prussian Three-Class Franchise
title: Archival Version

description: How did the Prussian three-class franchise, which politically
over-represented the economic elite, affect policies? Contrary to the
predominant and simplistic view that the system allowed the landed elites to
capture most political rents, we find that members of parliament from
constituencies with a higher vote inequality support more liberal policies,
gauging their political orientation from the universe of roll call votes cast
in parliament during Prussia’s rapid industrialization (1867–1903). Consistent
with the characteristics of German liberalism that aligned with economic
interests of business, the link between vote inequality and liberal voting is
stronger in regions with large-scale industry.

description: These are the replication files for the paper "Collateral Damage: The Impact of Foreclosures on New Home Mortgage Lending in the 1930s" to be published in the September 2020 issue of the Journal of Economic History.<br><br>Abstract of the paper: The Great Depression of the 1930s involved a severe disruption in the supply of home mortgage credit. This paper empirically identifies a mechanism lying behind this credit crunch: the impairment of lenders’ balance sheets by illiquid foreclosed real estate. With data on hundreds of building and loans (B&Ls), the leading mortgage lenders in this period, we find that the overhang of foreclosed real estate explains about 30 percent of the drop in new lending between 1930 and 1935<br>

title: Safety at Sea during the Industrial Revolution
title: Archival Version

description: This is a replication package for "Safety at Sea during the Industrial Revolution" and includes data on shipping movements, marine insurance rates and ship losses.  Articile abstract: Shipping, central to the rise of the Atlantic economies, was an extremely hazardous activity.  Between the 1780s and 1820s, a safety revolution occurred that saw shipping losses and insurance rates on oceanic routes almost halved thanks to steady improvements in shipbuilding and navigation. Copper sheathing, iron reinforcing and flush decks were the major innovations in shipbuilding.   Navigation improved, not through chronometers which remained too expensive and unreliable for general use, but through radically improved charts, accessible manuals of basic navigational techniques, and improved shore-based navigational aids.

We show that nationalism is crucial to both, the interpretation of Weber's Protestant Ethic and empirical tests thereof. For late 19th century Prussia we reject Weber's suggestion that Protestantism mattered due to an "ascetic compulsion to save". Moreover, we find that income levels, savings, and literacy rates differed between Germans and Poles, not between Protestants and Catholics, using pooled OLS and IV regressions. We suggest that this result is due to anti-Polish discrimination.<br></div><br>

title: Replication: Chankrajang Vechbanyongratana Canals and Orchards
title: Archival Version

description: This is the replication package for: "Canals and Orchards: The Impact of Transport Network Access on Agricultural Productivity in Nineteenth-century Bangkok." We assess the impact of access to Bangkok's nineteenth-century canal network on orchard productivity using a new dataset constructed from 1880s orchard land deeds. We find that properties located adjacent to canals, which were built for purposes exogenous to orchard production, had significantly higher labor productivity than those located inland. Gaining direct access to canals led to productivity improvements through better access to markets, which in turn enhanced cultivators' welfare. We conclude, based on a method developed by Oster (2019), that unobserved selection bias is negligible, allowing for the positive impact of canal access to be interpreted as causal.

title: Discrimination against Foreigners
title: Archival Version

description: <span>Some economists doubt whether it makes sense to push developing
countries to introduce strict national patent laws because the enforcement of
foreigners’ intellectual property rights prevents companies from catching up by
learning through imitation. As the historical case of the German state Wuerttemberg
demonstrates, however, a government’s lip service to the principle of equal
treatment does not guarantee that its administration adheres to this formal
rule. We show that the patent office of Wuerttemberg strategically
discriminated against foreign inventors for fiscal and protectionist reasons. Comparatively
high patent fees led foreign inventors to waive their patent protection
prematurely. The study is based on individual patents granted in Wuerttemberg (Germany) in the period between 1820 and 1868.</span>

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

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.
