Extreme weather and economic crisis in the 1430s in England, and the implications for tenurial change

open access: yesThe Economic History Review, EarlyView.
Abstract The 1430s were characterized by extreme weather conditions, food and fodder shortages, and high mortalities among animals and humans, although the severity of events and their consequences in England have received limited attention. The economic downturn and the depressed customary land market in this decade marked the beginning of the Great ...

Remote investing in Latin America, 1869–1929

open access: yesThe Economic History Review, EarlyView.
Abstract Substantial amounts of British capital flowed to Latin America during the first era of globalization. Companies financed by this capital were typically headquartered in the United Kingdom, but operated thousands of miles away. This paper asks how this geographic separation between governance and business activities affected the valuation of ...

The bread of Toledo: Prices and political economy, 1535–1800

open access: yesThe Economic History Review, EarlyView.
Abstract We study the market for common white bread in the city of Toledo through a new 266‐year‐long series of bread prices, obtained from the cash purchases and wholesale bread‐for‐wheat contracts of large institutions. Our data are strongly consistent with fragmentary evidence on retail price regulation, as well as with shorter series from other ...

Free to choose: Bank capital in Britain, 1878–1939

open access: yesThe Economic History Review, EarlyView.
Abstract Government regulation of the banking sector is pervasive, making it difficult to empirically analyse when banks would voluntarily choose to issue equity if there were no minimum requirements on capital adequacy. A unique historical setting occurred in the late nineteenth‐century United Kingdom when joint‐stock banks were free to choose their ...

Integrated location–inventory planning for slow‐moving demands with waiting time limitations

open access: yesInternational Transactions in Operational Research, EarlyView.
Abstract This paper studies a stochastic facility location problem integrated with inventory and transportation decisions (SFLPIT) for supply chains with slow‐moving stock‐keeping units (SKUs). Local stores often avoid maintaining such SKUs, resulting in customer demand being fulfilled directly by a central distribution center (DC), where the ...

Random‐key optimization for 2D irregular packing with reusable area evaluation

open access: yesInternational Transactions in Operational Research, EarlyView.
Abstract The diverse constraints of industrial applications lead to variants of two‐dimensional (2D) irregular packing problems that require tailored solution methods. This paper addresses a real‐world industrial challenge by proposing a new problem definition, the maximum reusable contiguous area problem (MRCAP), and a novel metric, the maximum ...
