Especialización Industrial Y Crecimiento Urbano En México, Isaac L. Sánchez-Juárez, Rosa M. García-Almada

Isaac Sánchez-Juárez

La temática abordada es la especialización industrial y el crecimiento urbano en México. Hacemos uso del análisis econométrico retrospectivo, esperando que el estudio del pasado ayude a entender lo que ocurre en el presente. Consideramos que la investigación que ponemos en sus manos puede ser de utilidad para aquellos investigadores ocupados en entender la reestructuración productiva del territorio mexicano, particularmente a partir de la operación del TLCAN.

The Poor Law, Migration, And Economic Growth, George R. Boyer

George R. Boyer

The loss to the English economy caused by decreased migration resulting from relief payments to agricultural laborers is estimated. I conclude that, at worst, the Poor Law had a small negative impact on national product. If poor relief and wages were substitutes, the Poor Law may have had a positive impact on capital formation and economic growth.

New Estimates Of British Unemployment, 1870-1913, George R. Boyer, Timothy J. Hatton

George R. Boyer

We present new estimates of the British industrial unemployment rate for 1870- 1913, which improve on the Board of Trade's prior estimates. We use similar sources, but our series includes additional industrial sectors, allows for short-time working, and aggregates the various sectors using appropriate labor-force weights from the census. The resulting index suggests a rate of industrial unemployment that was generally higher, but less volatile, than the board's index. We then adjust our series to an economywide basis, and construct a consistent time series of overall unemployment for 1870-1999.
