The Impact of the Irish on British Labor Markets During the Industrial Revolution
估计了第一次工业革命期间爱尔兰移民的规模，并利用一般均衡模型分析其对英国实际工资、城乡迁移和工业化的影响，发现爱尔兰移民并非导致不平等加剧、实际工资滞后或快速工业化的主要原因。
The Irish immigrations during the First Industrial Revolution serve to complicate any assessment of Britain's economic performance up to the 1850s. This paper estimates the size of the Irish immigrations and explores its impact on real wages, rural-urban migration, and industrialization. Using a general equilibrium model, the paper finds that the Irish did not play a significant role in accounting for rising inequality, lagging real wages, or rapid industrialization.
