The latest WP version of my paper on labor reallocation in interwar Britain, which is what I presented at the 2023 EHA in Pittsburgh, is now posted (and yes, it is the same project I've been working on for five years!): ssrn.com/abstract=462...

Unsure how this stuff flies in the bluesky, but obsessed as I am with monopsony in early modern labour markets, delighted to say that the important collaboration w @phwallis and @mmpaker has yielded doi.org/10.1017/S002... a paper that shows “jobs have rents” before industrialisation
