@vincentdelabastita.bsky.social, Spike Gibbs and I have a new working paper out! We explore the dynamics of wage inequality in medieval England, which allows us to better understand the commercialization of labour markets in the Middle Ages.

This is such sad news. I worked with Nicola at the British Agricultural History Society. She always brought such an effortless and infectious positive energy. She could (and regularly did) brighten up even a Zoom meeting.

What a tragedy.
With the permission of her family we are devastated to announce the death of our dear friend, Nicola Verdon, who was killed in an accident while riding her bike on 29th December.

Are we fully examining every aspect of contemporary agrarian reforms to understand their true impacts?
In my JMP I analyze the effects of public land transfers (PLT) versus expropriations, the primary land allocation methods used in Latin America reforms

Jane Whittle presenting today at the LSE Economic History seminar. A fascinating paper on the gender wage gap in medieval and Early Modern English agriculture.

The first teaching I did when I joined LSE was with Nick. I knew he was a formidable researcher, but was also one of the most compelling lecturers I have ever seen. He took a lot of time to support and mentor me. He demonstrated that a good researcher need not sacrifice teaching or collegiality.
Today and tomorrow we will celebrate the life and work of the late Nick Crafts ❤️

Nick was a fantastic colleague, friend, and founding director of @cagewarwick.bsky.social

Today's Crafts Lecture will be given by the wonderful Leah Boustan.
