  1. William Petersen (1958): Internal Migration and Economic Development in Northern America
    Internal migration is at once one of the most important determi nants of population change and the one about which we know least. Every year approximately one American out of every five moves to a different resi dence, and a considerable fraction of this migration is highly significant in eco nomic and cultural terms. There are no indications that Americans will soon cease to be "a nation of nomads." The shifts of population within the country are discussed mainly in terms of three examples: the migration to the West, the population interchange between the United States and Canada, and the migra tion of Negroes out of the South.

  2. My T. Vu & Bos, Eduard & Levin, Ann (1992): Latin America and the Caribbean region (and Northern America) population projections : 1992-93 edition
    Separate papers cover the six Bank regions: (1) Africa (sub-Saharan); (2) Latin America and the Caribbean (and Northern America); (3) East Asia and Pacific region and South Asia region combined; and (4) Europe and Central Asia region and Middle East and North Africa region combined. ... These countries are in one of two regions: in Latin America and the Caribbean, where several small island countries (Dominica, Grenada, and St. ... The total fertility rate for Latin America is intermediate at 3.1, and replacement fertility is projected to be reached in every country no later than 2035. In Northern America, fertility is at 2 children per woman - that is, just below replacement level. ... The most significant flow in the world occurs between Latin America and the Caribbean and Northern America, which amounts to just over one-half million persons per year.

  3. Henry S. Farber (1989): Trends in Worker Demand for Union Representation
    The dramatic decline in the demand for union representation among nonunion workers over the last decade is investigated using data on worker preferences for union representation from four surveys conducted in 1977, 1980, 1982, and 1984. Relatively little of the decline can be accounted for by shifts in labor force structure. However, virtually all of the decline is correlated with an increase in the satisfaction of nonunion workers with their jobs and a decline in nonunion workers’ beliefs that unions are able to improve wages and working conditions.

  4. Edward C. Prescott (2016): Northern America’s Production of Technology Capital Is Transforming the World Economy
    Technology capital produced by multinationals, many of which are American, is playing a major role in transforming the world economy. This form of capital is special because it can be used in multiple locations not only within a country but also in locations in other countries by their wholly owned foreign subsidiaries. The extension of aggregate economic theory to include this form of capital justifies Adam Smith that the extent of specialization is limited by the size of the market. Further, the invisible hand works, and there are no monopoly rents. The extended theory accounts for an important part of the large gains from being open to foreign direct investment (FDI).

  8. Ole Agersnap & Owen Zidar (2021): The Tax Elasticity of Capital Gains and Revenue-Maximizing Rates
    This paper uses a direct-projections approach to estimate the effect of capital gains taxation on realizations at the state level and then develops a framework for determining revenue-maximizing rates at the federal level. We find that the elasticity of revenues with respect to the tax rate over a 10-year period is −0.5 to −0.3, indicating that capital gains tax cuts do not pay for themselves and that a 5 percentage point rate increase would yield $18 to $30 billion in annual federal tax revenue. Our long-run estimates yield revenue-maximizing capital gains tax rates of 38 to 47 percent.

  9. Philipp Ager & Leah Platt Boustan & Katherine Eriksson (2019): The Intergenerational Effects of a Large Wealth Shock: White Southerners after the Civil War
    The nullification of slave wealth after the U.S. Civil War (1861-65) was one of the largest episodes of wealth compressions in history. We document that white Southern households holding more slave assets in 1860 lost substantially more wealth by 1870, relative to households that had been equally wealthy before the war. Yet, the sons of former slaveholders recovered relative to comparable sons by 1900, and grandsons surpassed their counterparts in educational and occupational attainment by 1940. We find that social networks facilitated this recovery, with sons marrying into other former slaveholding families.

  10. Robert G. King & Mark W. Watson (1994): The Post-War U.S. Phillips Curve: A Revisionist Econometric History
    In 1958, A.W. Phillips discovered a strong negative correlation between inflation and unemployment in United Kingdom data. Continuing controversy surrounds the long-run trade-off suggested by a curve he drew through these observations. We conduct a wide-ranging investigation of the post-war U.S. Phillips correlations and Phillips curve.
