Online first in Public Choice: “Private governance and the limits of state antiquity” by Claudia Williamson Kramer & Kyle A. Rains doi.org/10.1007/s11127…
Crémieux is not original here. I have been screaming this for years. 1: Americans spend far more resources trying to save infants who are low-weight and thus they enter the infant mortality stats. Other countries (notably Canada and France) simply give up when the infant is really small (below 500 or 600g). This accounts for a big share of the IMR gap between USA and rest of the world. But this is actually awesome because it says America is so wealthy and medically-well-endowed that there is a shot worth taking in saving insanely low-weight babies. Its not a problem, its a blessing that America can try and save so much babies (see Oster's AEJ article on this). 2: Americans drive alot. And I mean alot. Driving, however, more often kills than walking. And who drives a lot? The young. And that depresses life expectancy alot. That explains a big share of the rest. 3: America has more violence than other countries and the violence kills mostly young people. And that depresses life expectancy alot. Explains a big share of the rest of the gap. It sucks but it doesnt speak to healthcare! 4: Americans have bad eating habits and poor lifestyle choices (notably on drug consumption). That accounts pretty much for all the rest. It sucks but it doesnt speak to healthcare thedailyeconomy.org/article/what-a…
Why do Americans, despite being rich, live shorter lives than the people of peer countries? The answer has little to do with healthcare. It has to do with being fat, violent, and risk-seeking! Americans shoot more guns, crash more cars, and eat more garbage. Simple as that!
A long state history records the survival of a state atop a functioning private order. It does not necessarily record what the state contributed to that order. doi.org/10.1007/s11127…
We build a private governance index from Roland's (2020) coding of early institutions. Adding it reduces the ancestry-adjusted state antiquity coefficient by up to 62% and weakens or removes its significance. Private governance has a positive and significant coefficient.
New paper forthcoming at @_PublicChoice, with Claudia Williamson Kramer: "Private governance and the limits of state antiquity." 🧵
@desireedesierto is on an incredible run: little Ice Age salt wars, castles, Magna Carta, the Reformation. Fascinating papers on the political economy of who can appropriate resources, and how that shapes bargaining power, state formation, and constraints on rulers.
Draft finished: Henry Ford’s Five-Dollar Day is probably the most famous historical example of an efficiency wage. In a new paper, Rosolino Candela, Nathaniel Smith, and I argue that it probably was not an efficiency wage at all. Here is why.
Here's a fun one: Majors, stratified by highest and lowest lifetime earnings! There's one major that tends to earn less than people who don't earn any college degree.
And can apply to a variety of policy-relevant markets, such as cereal, cement, cereal, airlines, cereal, airlines, and cereal.
IO lowkey the best field because you can combine networks, macro, game theory, price theory, structural econometrics…
