Professor Niemi formalizes the existing body of census data for detailed analysis of structural and labor productivity patterns in American manufacturing in the last half of the nineteenth century.
Continuing a long tradition, the government of New York attempted to aid domestic manufacturing in various ways during the troubled period of the Embargo, the War of 1812, and the war's aftermath. Among the most important legislative actions was the state's general incorporation law for manufacturing, passed in 1811 on a temporary basis and enacted without time limit in 1821.
Professor Miner recounts the complex story of the loss of Cherokee control of mineral development on tribal lands in what later became Oklahoma. These events constitute a chapter in the long history of the loss of Indian sovereignty in the wake of the expansion of the white man's civilization across the continent.
Elliott's basic proposition is praiseworthy. Nevertheless, I have a number of serious reservations about the implications of his model and the reliability of its predictions. Some of my reservations relate to the theoretical foundation of the model itself, while others are concerned with his methodology and estimation techniques.
Considering Professors Monroe's and Trieschmann's own analysis and methodology, it seems that their conclusion and implications of the results are considerably reduced in scope from those presented in their paper. I would like to discuss this new approach within the broader scope of their work. I will conclude with several points which closely relate to their work but which are not, by their choice, a part of the present paper.
