American Incomes Before and After the Revolution
通过构建社会表格，估算了1774年至1800年间美国实际人均收入下降，发现南方起初更富裕但领先优势在1800年消失，且殖民者收入比英格兰和威尔士更平等。
Building social tables in the tradition of Gregory King, we develop new estimates suggesting that between 1774 and 1800 American incomes fell in real per capita terms. The colonial South was richer than the North at the start, but was already beginning to lose its income lead by 1800. We also find that free American colonists had much more equal incomes than did households in England and Wales. The colonists had greater purchasing power than their English counterparts over all of the income ranks except in the top percent.
