Tariffs and Growth in the Late 19th Century
估计了1875-1914年间十个国家关税与经济增长的相关性,发现关税与增长正相关。
The paper estimates the correlation between tariffs and economic growth in the late 19th century, in the context of three types of growth equation: unconditional convergence equations; conditional convergence equations; and factor accumulation models. It does so for a panel of ten countries between 1875 and 1914. Tariffs were positively correlated with growth in these countries during this period.
