Develops a measurement framework for detecting institutional critical junctures as they unfold, using 120 years of reporting, aimed directly at the "why do institutions change" question central to institutional-persistence research.
NEP-HISNEP: Business Daniel P. Gross, Bhaven N. Sampat, Hansen Zhang · 2026-07

Links SSA death records to the 1940 census in a difference-in-differences design to show early-20th-century county health department openings raised later-life longevity, a nice example of historical record linkage.
NEP-HISCEPR Discussion Papers Federico, Giovanni, Incerpi, Andrea · 2024-07
Analyses how post-Unification Italy funded aggressive state-building with foreign capital and narrowly avoided an Argentina-style default, tracing the causal links between fiscal policy, capital imports and the 1861-83 stagnation.
NEP-HISNEP: Business Hanming Fang, Chang Liu · 2026-07
Argues East Asia's ultra-low fertility reflects the uneven modernisation of two distinct strands of Confucian family tradition rather than a single cultural legacy, a long-run cultural-persistence account of the fertility collapse.
NEP-HISBank of England Staff Working Paper series David Ronicle · 2026-05-22
Uses a novel instrument from money-market segmentation to show the Bank of England's 1980s "overfunding" experiment tightened financial conditions, drawing a direct historical parallel to modern QT.
Uses Afrobarometer data and a plausible identification strategy to show former British colonies trust traditional leaders more than former French colonies, a colonial-legacy institutional-persistence result.
NEP-HISDocumentos de Trabajo (working papers) Sabrina Siniscalchi, Henry Willebald · 2026-08
Reconstructs Uruguay's private wealth and national income back to 1860 in a Piketty-Zucman framework, exactly the kind of long-run historical dataset construction this briefing tracks.
NEP-HISWorking Papers Series Leonardo N. Ferreira, Haroon Mumtaz, Gabor Pinter · 2026-08
Estimates a time-varying SVAR over seven centuries of UK data and finds business cycles flip from supply-driven before 1900 to demand-driven after, an ambitious long-run quantitative-history exercise.
NEP-HISWorking Papers Tetsuji Okazaki, Toshihiro Okubo, Eric Strobl · 2026-07
Digitises a unique post-earthquake firm survey from 1923 Tokyo to show how disruption of local agglomeration economies shaped firm adjustment, a good example of historical data digitisation feeding a causal question.
NEP-HISPapers Yvonne Krabbe-Alkemade, France Portrait, Maarten Lindeboom, Marjolein Broese van Groenou, Hendrika J Luijen, Dorly Deegdijk · 2026-09-03
Exploits the 1957 Dutch repeal of employment restrictions on married women as a natural experiment to identify effects of early-adulthood labour-market restrictions on later-life cognitive functioning.
Documents that over a thousand World Development Indicators series have quietly vanished from the World Bank's public API, a caution for anyone building long-run cross-country datasets on WDI foundations.
JEG Philipp Ager, Francesco Cinnirella · 2026-09-08
Uses newly collected historical kindergarten statistics to show the rollout of US kindergartens lowered fertility and raised schooling among immigrant families, a clean historical dataset-construction paper on immigrant assimilation.
arXiv econ.EM Haojie Liu, Jiyuan Ling, Zihan Lin · 2026-09-08
Combines predicted policy gains with revealed selection into China's Dibao welfare program to show actual allocation tracks need far more than efficiency, a policy-learning approach to targeting.
arXiv econ.EM Stefan Faridani, Michael P. Leung · 2026-09-08
Proposes a Matérn point-process design for spatial experiments that separates treated sites enough to identify an "uncontaminated" average effect free of spillover contamination.
A new benchmark checks whether LLM-generated causal-inference workflows actually recover the right econometric estimate rather than just producing plausible-looking code, relevant to the growing use of LLM-assisted empirical work.
Extends the causal-forest framework with a median-based splitting criterion robust to the heavy-tailed, skewed outcomes common in treatment-effect heterogeneity applications.
arXiv econ.EM Yukun Ma, Manu Navjeevan, Bogdan Salahub · 2026-09-07
Provides guidance on choosing the instrument dictionary and penalty for IV-LASSO first stages, an area where first-order asymptotics offers no help but finite-sample choices matter a lot.
NEP-POLDiscussion Papers Gockel, Christine, Strohsal, Till · 2026
A two-wave panel RCT around the 2025 German election shows both direct ECB communication and a simple teaching intervention lower inflation expectations by about 100 basis points, and that the effect survives a change in government.
Applies a front-door-adjustment approach to identify causal moderation effects, using the number of candidates on the ballot in 165 Tokyo municipal elections as a mechanically assigned moderator.
NEP-LABRFBerlin Discussion Paper Series Lorenzo Cappellari, Bernardo Fanfani · 2026-07
A stacked event-study design shows Italian collective-bargaining pay-floor hikes pass through fully to median wages but barely reach the bottom decile, widening within-firm inequality.
NEP-LABDiscussion Paper Series in Economics Razavi, Goya · 2026-08-16
Uses GPA admission cutoffs in Denmark's centralized matching algorithm in a regression-discontinuity design to ask whether low-SES students benefit from access to selective college majors.
Instruments manufacturing employment with regional exposure to Chinese import competition to trace how the post-2001 China trade shock reshaped migration and employment choices among rural Mexicans.

NEP-DEVStudies in Economics Amrit Amirapu, Malavika Thirumalai Ananthakrishnan, Alex Klein · 2026-08
Uses establishment-level census data and an instrumental-variables strategy to disentangle input-output linkages from labour-pooling as drivers of industrial co-agglomeration in post-liberalisation India.
Offers a sweeping institutionalist account of China's rise built on social mobility, land/tax systems and state capacity — more synthesis than empirical test, but squarely in the institutional-economics register.
Surveys over 14,000 Americans on how they narrate the history of race and finds sharp ideological divides in how the past is connected to the present, a historical-political-economy take on polarization.
NEP-HISPost-Print Raphaël Franck, Victor Gay · 2026-08-20

Cross-country evidence spanning the postwar era shows deficit financing dominates how governments fund military build-ups, with tax and civilian-spending responses shifting as intensity rises.
Shows one of Italy's largest stimulus tax credits, despite excluding the poorest, raised the incumbent party's vote share — a clean political-economy account of why transfers are poorly targeted.
