Alfred Marshall's Reported Birthplace: Evidence from the Censuses
利用1851、1901和1911年三次新增人口普查数据，检验了科斯关于马歇尔出生地报告不一致的猜想，发现马歇尔确实知道自己的出生地，并提出了一个替代性的、更阴暗的解释。
Ronald Coase posed the question, Did Alfred Marshall know where he was born? Coase conjectured that Marshall's changing place of birth as reported in the 1881 and 1891 censuses was due to his vagueness in giving information about it to his wife. This article examines the evidence now available from three additional censuses (1851, 1901, and 1911). It confirms that Marshall did know where he was born. And the evidence suggests an alternative (and darker) reason for Marshall's reported places of birth.
