Reindustrialization meets rural reality: The limits of foreign direct investment‐led development

Contemporary Economic Policy, EarlyView.
Abstract As industrial policy drives new waves of foreign direct investment (FDI) into the U.S., rural areas are becoming key destinations. Using synthetic control, difference‐in‐differences, and propensity score matching, I examine whether rural FDI translates job growth into higher incomes.

The Economic History Review, EarlyView.
Abstract Housework is central to feminist calls for recognition of women's work, economic histories explaining the sexual division of labour, and claims regarding the progressive role of scientific knowledge. Yet little is known about the time it actually took. We address this lacuna.
