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 ...

Private money and money market integration: The role of payments infrastructure in nineteenth‐century Switzerland

open access: yesThe Economic History Review, EarlyView.
Abstract Using newly collected discount rate data for six Swiss cities from 1846 to 1893, we find no evidence of increasing integration during a 30‐year period of lightly regulated free banking.

Atlantic trade and the West African market economy: New evidence from cowry imports, 1650–1905

open access: yesThe Economic History Review, EarlyView.
Abstract Between the seventeenth and twentieth centuries, billions of cowries arrived in West Africa, leaving one of the few quantitative traces available for historians to measure the Atlantic trade's impact on the precolonial market economy. Yet, current estimates substantially underestimate the volume of cowry imports.

Risk premia reconsidered: Illiquidity and selection bias for stocks and corporate bonds in the pre‐First World War period

open access: yesThe Economic History Review, EarlyView.
Abstract Financial history is plagued by a visibility trap. Using the Brussels Stock Exchange (1850–1913), we demonstrate that asset illiquidity introduced selection bias, which systematically inflated historical risk premia. Applying a latent return model, we argue that correcting for this illiquidity decreases the equity and corporate bond risk ...
