内容説明

This set of papersis one in the series of special issues of Oxford Economic Papers. The series covers a range of topics in economic history, but have a common theme in that they use quantative techniques, such as time series analysis, to yield results from the analysis of historical data sets. In this volume, eight of the papers examine 19th-century data and the remaining two relate to the inter-war period. Subjects examined include the socio-economic records available on convicts transported to Australia between 1817 and 1839, determination of wages in the 19th-century British coal industry, competition between British and American whaling fleets in the early 19th century and unemployment in inter-war Britain.
