The commercialization of labour markets: Evidence from wage inequality in the Middle Ages

open access: yesThe Economic History Review, EarlyView.
Abstract This paper moves beyond the focus on ‘average’ wage trends in pre‐industrial economies by examining the broad diversity of pay rates and forms of remuneration across occupations and regions in medieval England. We find that whilst some workers enjoyed substantial growth in wage rates after the Black Death, there was a large group who ...

Success and failure in England's patent system: New evidence from patent applications, 1783–1834

open access: yesThe Economic History Review, EarlyView.
Abstract Our understanding of the relationship between the English patent system and technical change during the industrial revolution is based entirely on the study of successful patents. We address this feature by providing the first study of unsuccessful patent applications in England during the first industrial revolution.

Structural and mutational analysis of Methanosarcina mazei prenylated FMN synthase reveals the basis of its unique prenyl donor substrate specificity

open access: yesThe FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Some prenylated flavin mononucleotide (prFMN) synthases exceptionally prefer dimethylallyl phosphate (DMAP) over dimethylallyl diphosphate (DMAPP), which is a common prenyl donor substrate for many prenyltransferases. Structural and mutagenic analyses of Methanosarcina mazei prFMN synthase, which prefers DMAP but can also accept DMAPP, elucidated its ...
