I work at the intersection of political economy and economic history. I listen Superchunk and Don Caballero.
Abstract of working paper
A new WP discusses methodological issues that arise in the study of inequality using social tables, an approach commonly employed for estimating income distributions in societies where neither income surveys nor tax data are available.

The paper, which focuses on 19th century estimates, proposes a set of "rules" or a broadly common methodology to enable better comparability of the results. Read the paper by @brankomilan.bsky.social, @philerfurth.bsky.social, @mgzl.bsky.social, & @ggabbuti.bsky.social.

How exceptional was Italy’s inequality path in the interwar years? What was the role of wars, depression, and authoritarianism?🚨 Our new paper w/ @ggabbuti.bsky.social explores these questions.

Chart showing the methodological evolution of economic history. The share of qualitative studies has drastically decreased since 2000 and quantitative studies using panel data and causal analysis have increased. Economic history is increasingly able to provide us with evidence and inform pressing questions at the intersection of research and real-world decision-making. This column uses natural language processing and network analysis of articles from five leading journals over the past 25 years to identify a shift towards a more global, data-driven, and methodologically advanced field. It maps changing thematic priorities, institutional collaborations, and author networks, highlighting both a generational turnover and growing geographical diversity. It also reveals a strong move towards causal identification-based econometrics alongside a sharp decline in qualitative research, signalling both convergence and trade-offs in the discipline’s integration with mainstream economics.

Just released. New WP on product quality and trade liberalization in France, 1850-1874. The economy was producing high quality items throughout, but liberalization decreased avg. quality but some main exports went up in quality.
