increase in the numbers of deaths from pulmonary embolism was noticed, and was decided to look further into the matter to find out whether the increase was in fact real, and whether it could be attributed to any particular cause. Only those cases of pulmonary embolus actually proved by autopsy have been considered, and the inquiry was limited to the Royal Infirmary Branch and therefore includes...

This paper shows that racial composition shocks during the Great Migration (1940–1970) reduced gains from growing up in northern United States for Black families and can explain 27 percent of region’s upward mobility gap today. I identify share increases by interacting pre-1940 migrants’ location choices with predicted southern county out-migration. Locational changes, not negative selection fa...

I develop a new method to estimate intergenerational mobility (IM) in educational attainment on U.S. census data spanning 19402000. I measure IM directly for children still living with parents at ages 26-29, and indirectly for other children using an imputation procedure that I validate in multiple datasets spanning the full sample period. Educational IM increased significantly 1940-1970 and de...

The risk of developing breast cancer by age 50 in BRCA-positive women has increased from 24% in women born before 1940 to 67% in women born after 1940. This observation points to an increase in one or more environmental promoters through the course of the twentieth century. Extrapolating backwards, it is possible that, in the nineteenth century, a BRCA mutation conferred minimal increased risk ...
