1 Winners and Losers of the Industrial Revolution J. Parman (College of William & Mary) Global Economic History, Spring 2017 April 17, / 37
2 The Benefits of the Industrial Revolution How were the benefits of the Industrial Revolution distributed? Did some groups benefit at the expense of others? Which factors of production became more important and which became less important? Was the Industrial Revolution the triumph of greedy capitalists at the expense of workers? J. Parman (College of William & Mary) Global Economic History, Spring 2017 April 17, / 37
3 A Pessimistic View of the Industrial Revolution J. Parman (College of William & Mary) Global Economic History, Spring 2017 April 17, / 37

5 A Pessimistic View of the Industrial Revolution J. Parman (College of William & Mary) Global Economic History, Spring 2017 April 17, / 37
6 How do we determine who gained from the Industrial Revolution? We know that the big difference between the modern economy and the preindustrial world is sustained efficiency advances If more output is produced per unit of capital, labor and land, then payments to these factors must increase Brings us to a slight twist on our growth accounting equations: g A = ag r + bg w + cg s J. Parman (College of William & Mary) Global Economic History, Spring 2017 April 17, / 37
7 Land Rents J. Parman (College of William & Mary) Global Economic History, Spring 2017 April 17, / 37
8 What about urban land? Modern Land Rents Listing Type Land Price per acre Midtown Manhattan Parking Lot.22 acres $21,894,500 Tuscarawas, OH Pasture/Dairy 140 acres $5,000 Dawson, MT Farmland 480 acres $ J. Parman (College of William & Mary) Global Economic History, Spring 2017 April 17, / 37
9 What about urban land? J. Parman (College of William & Mary) Global Economic History, Spring 2017 April 17, / 37
10 What about other natural resources J. Parman (College of William & Mary) Global Economic History, Spring 2017 April 17, / 37
11 What about other natural resources? 7.08 billion barrels of petroleum products were consumed in the US in 2015 ( Crude oil averaged $49 a barrel in 2015 ( US GDP was $17,947 billion in 2015 ( So oil consumption represented roughly 1.9 percent of GDP J. Parman (College of William & Mary) Global Economic History, Spring 2017 April 17, / 37
12 Land Rents So the owners of land don t seem to be the big gainers from the Industrial Revolution Farmland rents aren t any higher in real terms than they were before the Industrial Revolution Urban rents have risen quite a bit but still only represent a small fraction of the total share of income in modern economies So we could think of our accounting formula as being reduced to: g A ag r + bg w J. Parman (College of William & Mary) Global Economic History, Spring 2017 April 17, / 37
13 Returns to Physical Capital The rental rate of capital is just the real interest rate We ve already seen that modern interest rates are lower than preindustrial interest rates So if anything, the growth in g r has been close to zero or even negative However, payments to capital have expanded tremendously since the Industrial Revolution (just think of all those new factories) The increase in payments has been a result of the expansion of capital stock, not the return to a unit of capital So if g r is approximately zero, our accounting forumula is further reduced to: g A bg w J. Parman (College of William & Mary) Global Economic History, Spring 2017 April 17, / 37
14 Returns to Physical Capital 3 HP for approximately $1, USD J. Parman (College of William & Mary) Global Economic History, Spring 2017 April 17, / 37
15 Returns to Physical Capital J. Parman (College of William & Mary) Global Economic History, Spring 2017 April 17, / 37
16 Returns to Physical Capital The Model 60...has a 60-megabyte, half-height hard disk...it costs $7,499...The 130-Mb drive actually stores and retrieves data faster than its smaller sibling, thanks to a special memory controller device that comes with the Models 130 and 300. Yes, 300. The monster comes with a fixed disk that can hold more than 300 million characters of data...it costs $12,499. New York Times, January 10, 1988 J. Parman (College of William & Mary) Global Economic History, Spring 2017 April 17, / 37
17 Returns to Physical Capital J. Parman (College of William & Mary) Global Economic History, Spring 2017 April 17, / 37
18 Wages Over Time J. Parman (College of William & Mary) Global Economic History, Spring 2017 April 17, / 37
19 How much does an improvement in technology increase wages? J. Parman (College of William & Mary) Global Economic History, Spring 2017 April 17, / 37
20 How much does an improvement in technology increase wages? The previous figures shows that roughly 75% of national income in England goes to labor If g A bg w, then the growth in wages resulting from technological advance will be 4 3 g A A one percent increase in efficiency produces an increase in average wages of 1.3 percent This doesn t tell us which types of workers were benefiting the most J. Parman (College of William & Mary) Global Economic History, Spring 2017 April 17, / 37
21 The Modern Distribution of Wages and Wealth Distribution of Wages and Wealth, United Kingdom, Decile Share of wages Share of wealth J. Parman (College of William & Mary) Global Economic History, Spring 2017 April 17, / 37
22 The Preindustrial Distribution of Wealth Preindustrial Wealth Distributions Location Year Top 1% Top 5% Perugia Paris London Florence England England England United Kingdom J. Parman (College of William & Mary) Global Economic History, Spring 2017 April 17, / 37
23 The Distribution of Income J. Parman (College of William & Mary) Global Economic History, Spring 2017 April 17, / 37
24 The Distribution of Income Gini coefficient for Byzantium (1000):.45, Gini coefficient for medieval France (1300): 0.7 J. Parman (College of William & Mary) Global Economic History, Spring 2017 April 17, / 37
25 Skill, Gender and Wages Income by skill and gender, England 1770s 1850s 2004 Annual wage, unskilled men ,898 Annual wage, unskilled women ,516 Female to male wage ratio Average adult wage ,452 Unskilled to average wage ratio J. Parman (College of William & Mary) Global Economic History, Spring 2017 April 17, / 37
26 What about consumption (rather than income or wealth)? J. Parman (College of William & Mary) Global Economic History, Spring 2017 April 17, / 37
27 What about consumption (rather than income or wealth)? J. Parman (College of William & Mary) Global Economic History, Spring 2017 April 17, / 37
28 What about other measures of well being? Life Prospects of the Rich and Poor in England Group Stature (cm) Life expectancy Surviving children Literacy Preindustrial Rich Poor Difference 3% 18% 99% 183% Modern Rich Poor Difference 1% 9% -19% 14% J. Parman (College of William & Mary) Global Economic History, Spring 2017 April 17, / 37
29 The Industrial Revolution and Inequality So it seems that wealth and income inequality are lower now than in preindustrial times Inequality between unskilled and skilled wages is lower Inequality between male and female wages is lower Inequality in life prospects is much lower Why didn t all of the pessimistic predictions materialize? J. Parman (College of William & Mary) Global Economic History, Spring 2017 April 17, / 37
30 The Industrial Revolution and Inequality Labor income has become a bigger share of total income Land (which can be very unequally distributed) has declined in importance Movement away from brute strength to dexterity in production helped narrow male-female wage gap It turns out that machines did not make unskilled labor completely obsolete (machines are bad at interacting with people, identifying and manipulating physical objects in complicated ways) So where are the fat cats? J. Parman (College of William & Mary) Global Economic History, Spring 2017 April 17, / 37

37 Where are the super-rich capitalists? Many of the capitalists did not receive extraordinary profits Those invested in textiles faced a very competitive industry With a homogenous product and no major barriers to entry, textiles weren t a way to get rich Consumers were the ones getting the rewards The exception is railroads (which had barriers to entry) Even with railroads, there was enough competition in Britain to make consumers big beneficiaries (US railroad owners get incredibly rich) J.
