The essays in this book use the analytical tools and theoretical
framework of economics to interpret quantitative historical
evidence, offering new ways to approach historical issues and
suggesting entirely new types of evidence outside conventional
archives. Rosenbloom has gathered together seven essays from
leading quantitative economic historians, illustrating the breadth
of scope and continued importance of quantitative economic history.
This book challenges the static, ahistorical models on which
Economics continues to rely. These models presume that markets
operate on a "frictionless" plane where abstract forces play out
independent of their institutional and spatial contexts, and of the
influences of the past. In reality, at any point in time exogenous
factors are themselves outcomes of complex historical processes.
They are shaped by institutional and spatial contexts, which are
"carriers of history," including past economic dynamics and market
outcomes.
This book examines the history of institutional changes in U.S. labor markets during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. It combines a detailed historical description of how these institutions worked and evolved with a thorough analysis of quantitative evidence that reveals their implications for geographic wage convergence and market integration. This account illustrates both the importance of institutions as determinants of national economic performance and the importance of market forces in establishing the context of late nineteenth century labor history.
