David, Paul A.; Wright, Gavin - Economics Group, Nuffield College, University of Oxford - 1999
A marked acceleration of total factor productivity (TFP) growth in U.S. manufacturing followed World War I. This development contributed substantially to the absolute and relative rise of the domestic economy's aggregate TFP residual, which is observed when the "growth accounts" for the first...

David, Paul A.; Wright, Gavin - Economics Group, Nuffield College, University of Oxford - 1999

Altruism: The Importance of being Asked. The Rescue of Jews in Nazi Europe
Varese, Federico; Yaish, Meir - Economics Group, Nuffield College, University of Oxford - 1998
The rescue of persecuted minorities - such as the Jews in Nazi occupied Europe - is seen in this paper as taking place in a peculiar market. In such a market rescuers face at least two dilemmas. Firstly, they might be willing to help but be uncertain how to go about rescuing. Secondly, they...

Offer, Avner - Economics Group, Nuffield College, University of Oxford - 1998
Body weight has risen in defiance of health and appearance norms. The social epidemics of overeating and slimming were driven by market forces and the psychology of eating: restrained eating is easily disinhibited by stress. For men, the rise in body weight was associated with the decline of...

New Answers to Old Questions: Transport Costs and the Slow Adoption of Ring Spinning in Lancashire
Leunig, Tim - Economics Group, Nuffield College, University of Oxford - 1998

The Diffusion of the Herringbone Parlour: A Case Study in the History of Agricultural Technology
Grant, Oliver - Economics Group, Nuffield College, University of Oxford - 1998
