Between famine and freedom: Food prices during the Indonesian War of Independence, 1945–9
The Economic History Review, EarlyView.Abstract This paper investigates how the Indonesian War of Independence (1945‒9) influenced staple food prices, and how fluctuations in those prices, in turn, shaped the trajectory and dynamics of the conflict. We compiled a dataset comprising more than 8600 prices for staple foods covering the entire Indonesian archipelago from 1939‒49, allowing us to

International Journal of Training and Development, EarlyView.Abstract New technology is changing the skills that employers demand and the tasks that employees perform. Technological change is therefore increasing the need for continuing vocational training. However, little is known about the association between technology introduction, employees' job tasks and continuing training participation in firms ...

Cash for Transactions or Store‐of‐Value? A Comparative Study on Scandinavian Countries and Canada
International Finance, EarlyView.ABSTRACT We estimate the demand for transactional and non‐transactional cash balances (banknotes and coins) in Canada, Denmark, Iceland, Sweden and Norway over the last decades exploiting the seasonality of cash demand. These countries share many features that are relevant for cash demand, but nevertheless show large differences in terms of aggregate ...
