Current and Long Term Research on Growth, Distribution and World Integration

 

W. Arthur Lewis revisited. Using an extensive new data base on relative commodity prices, factor prices, endowments and other evidence in a panel of countries, this project re-examines old debates about terms of trade, de-industrialization, labor supply response, real wage stability, rising inequality, globalization shocks, global factor market integration and other issues for Latin America, Eastern Europe, the Mediterranean and Asia since 1750.

 

New data base to measure the spread of the industrial revolution from center to periphery since 1870. Assessment of the determinants

 

The impact of international migration, capital flows and commodity trade on global factor price and productivity convergence, and policy responses. Previous work on the OECD club since 1820 is being extended to the European periphery, Asia, the Mediterranean and Latin America. Special attention to globalization and de-globalization issues the world round since 1492, to South-South migration since 1850, and to the political-economy determinants of tariff (and non-tariff barrier) policy since 1789.

               

The evolution of world living standards and inequality since the Roman Empire. Collection and analysis of purchasing-power-parity adjusted real wages for comparable work and comparable workers. Includes both western and eastern Europe, the Mediterranean Basin, Latin America, North America, Australasia, and Asia.  Also includes relative factor price time series, like the wage/land rental ratio, and social tables to help discriminate between competing theories of growth, demographic change, globalization and inequality, as well as to assess the impact of exogenous climate and political regime change.   

 

The determinants and impact of world migrations over the past two centuries, for both sending and receiving regions. Impact on living standards, inequality, brain drain, brain gain, and growth in the sending countries. Recent research focus on the Third World sending regions 1950-2050.
