Fears of immigrants as a threat to public health have a long and sordid history. At the turn of the 20th century, when immigrants made up one-third of the population in crowded American cities, contemporaries blamed high urban mortality rates on the

This chapter studies the intersection of health and political economy in history, with a focus on the United States during the epidemiological transition. Few of the major factors that drove mortality reduction and health improvements would have been

In the first half of the twentieth century, racial inequality in the rate of death from infectious disease was immense. In every year from 1906 to 1920, Black Americans in cities died from infectious diseases at a rate higher than that of urban White

It is well known for a Cobb-Douglas production function that the elasticity of a factor demand is the inverse of the share of output going to the other factors. Since Cobb-Douglas has a unit elasticity of substitution, the demand elasticity trivially

Recursive least squares learning is a central concept employed in selecting amongst competing outcomes of dynamic stochastic economic models. In employing least squares estimators, such learning relies on the assumption of a symmetric loss function d

This paper explores an overlapping-generations model of bounded rationality in which consumers only foresee the future over a subset of their life span. We focus in particular on whether the model can, in general equilibrium, produce a hump-shaped li

Dominant theories of legislative organization in the U.S. rest on the notion that the majority party arranges legislative matters to maximize its electoral fortunes. Yet, as we demonstrate in this paper, there is little or no short-term electoral adv
