Project Description

Summary: This project provides a dataset in STATA format and an associated document with explanatory text and STATA commands sufficient to replicate the tables and Figure 2 in Jeremy Atack, Robert Margo, and Paul Rhode, "Deskilling: Evidence from Late Nineteenth Century Manufacturing," Explorations in Economic History (2023), https://doi.org/10.1016/j.eeh.2023.101554

Scope of Project

Subject Terms: U.S. Economic History; manufacturing industry

Geographic Coverage: United States
