Current and Long Term Research on Growth, Accumulation and Distribution
Modeling the accumulation process in history. Extensions to contemporary
LDCs. Examination of both "saving-driven" and "investment-driven" models.
Part of a larger research project: exploring the long term wealth portfolio
changes among assets in land, government debt, foreign capital, human
capital and governmental capital; developing a panel data base on all
available countries over 200 years on savings, investment and price of
capital goods; and using history to ask whether the next half century will
see a global savings scarcity or glut.  The impact of international
migration, capital flows and commodity trade on global factor price
convergence since 1830, and why the convergence stopped 1914-1950. Previous
work on the OECD club extended to Asia, the Mediterranean Basin and Latin
America over the past two centuries.  The evolution of world living
standards since 1750. Collection and analysis of purchasing-power-parity
adjusted real wages for comparable work and comparable workers. Includes
both western and eastern Europe, the Mediterranean Basin, Latin America,
North America, Australasia, and Asia. Also includes relative factor price
time series, like wage/land rental ratio to help discriminate between
competing theories of growth.
