Creators: French Institute of Statistics and Economic Studies (INSEE)

This dataset provides firm-level information from France on capital input, labor, IT expenditures, and output over time. It was used by Danial Lashkari, Arthur Bauer, and Jocelyn Boussard in their 2024 American Economic Review paper to analyze how declining IT prices affect factor demand and returns to scale. The authors identify a novel channel whereby IT shocks influence not only factor substitution but also endogenous shifts in the scale of production, contributing to aggregate changes in market concentration and labor share.

Creators: Bank of England

This dataset contains annual real interest rate data spanning over 700 years across multiple countries. It was used by Kenneth S. Rogoff, Barbara Rossi, and Paul Schmelzing in their 2024 American Economic Review paper to investigate the long-term statistical properties and historical inflection points of long-maturity real interest rates. The data incorporates archival sources, reconstructed bond yields, and modern government bond data to provide a continuous view of rate trends and structural breaks since the 14th century.

This dataset contains administrative electricity billing records from the Indian state of Tamil Nadu, linked with election outcomes at the constituency level. It was used by Meera Mahadevan in her 2024 American Economic Review paper to study the effect of political favoritism on electricity billing practices. By combining the data with night-time satellite imagery and close-election regression discontinuities, the author identifies significant covert bill manipulation that favors constituencies of winning party candidates and imposes large welfare losses.

This dataset includes historical administrative, demographic, and economic data from France between 1790 and 1900. It was used by Cédric Chambru, Emeric Henry, and Benjamin Marx in their 2024 American Economic Review paper to study the long-run effects of administrative reforms enacted during the French Revolution. The data tracks the assignment of departmental capitals, taxation, law enforcement, public good provision, and urban growth across French communes, some of which became capitals through plausibly exogenous decisions by the 1790 Assembly.

This dataset combines archival data from Bank of America’s branch operations with property value, employment, and credit flow data across California cities during the Great Depression. It was used by Sarah Quincy in her 2024 American Economic Review paper to study how branching mitigated local economic shocks by creating an internal capital market. The dataset includes bank-level loan activity, narrative documentation from archives, and linked individual-level census records to analyze structural labor market shifts and urban recovery trajectories between 1929 and 1940.
