Full text not available from this repository.Abstract
Applying modern econometric techniques to the estimation of trends in British real wages, we find: (1) the trend rate of growth was zero for the period 1750-1813, but then rose to 1.2% per year for 1813-1913; and (2) there was a sharp check to real wages at the beginning of the 20th century, due in equal parts to slower productivity growth and to changes in relative prices.
