Very proud PhD supervisor announcement: Malte Hinrichs has published his first-ever article! He explores the role of water mills in Germany's industrialisation. Think of it as "Mokyr in Prussia". @cephie.bsky.social Well worth a read: doi.org/10.1016/j.ee...

This month on Research Snapshots, we spoke to Míde Griffin, a third-year PhD student in the Department and @cephie.bsky.social. Read the interview here: tinyurl.com/5euker2r @tcdschoolssp.bsky.social @trinityresearch.bsky.social @tlrhub.bsky.social @trisstcd.bsky.social

Extraordinary news: Joel Mokyr has won the Nobel for his work on the Industrial Revolution. Entirely deserved, though in truth, he ought to win another for his work on the Great Irish Famine, which transformed how we think about Ireland’s nineteenth century and the economic history of catastrophe.

New publication: "Why are corporations terminated? A century of evidence from the Netherlands" (co-authored with Abe de Jong, Philip Fliers and Florian Madertoner). doi.org/10.1080/0007...

Our colleague @cliochris.bsky.social and co-authors Mathias Blum and Eoin McLoughlin have a video abstract explaining the key findings of their article 'Scarring and selection in the Great Irish Famine' in the Econ. Hist. Rev. www.youtube.com/watch?v=fptL... and also at www.qub.ac.uk/schools/Iris...

📽️ It's been great to work with @discoverecon.bsky.social & @cephie.bsky.social to create a new series of videos to add to our suite of resources aimed at bringing economics and political history to life - showing young people that working in economics is about far more than finance.

New teaching resource provides critical thinking skills to students

Political conflict is high on the world news agenda with rising participation in protests against government policy and unethical practices.

Glad to have your paper on EconStor hdl.handle.net/10419/315206

New working paper, co-authored with Homer Wagenaar. We look at the strange but smart patent system of the United Kingdom of the Netherlands (1815–1830) — a mix of examination + royal discretion of patent terms. Turns out: it worked better than you'd think. www.quceh.org.uk/uploads/1/0/...

This publication has been a very long time coming. Thanks go especially to all the various referees over the years for their invaluable contributions. You can read all about it in our online appendices (which are longer than the article itself!) onlinelibrary.wiley.com/action/downl...
