Leah Boustan of University of California, Los Angeles and NBER reviews “Natural Experiments of History” by Jared Diamond, James A. Robinson,. The EconLit Abstract of the reviewed work begins “Seven papers present case studies that illustrate the use of the comparative method in history and consider techniques to solve the method’s difficulties. Papers discuss controlled comparison and Polynesian cultural evolution (Patrick V. Kirch); exploding wests--boom and bust in nineteenth-century settler societies (James Belich); politics, banking, and economic development--evidence from New World economies (Stephen Haber); intraisland and interisland comparisons (Jared Diamond); shackled to the past--the causes and consequences of Africa’s slave trades (Nathan Nunn); colonial land tenure, electoral competition, and public goods in India (Abhijit Banerjee and Lakshmi Iyer); and the move from ancien regime to capitalism--the spread of the French Revolution as a natural experiment (Daron Acemoglu, Davide Cantoni, Simon Johnson, and James A. Robinson). Diamond is Professor of Geography at the University of California, Los Angeles. Robinson is Professor of Government at Harvard University. No index.”
