Finally, I use a series of structural break tests to determine the disproportionate effect of policy changes across different industries, looking at how the repeal of the acts of navigation corresponds with changes in output across key sectors. 9/11

Second, I employ a series regressions to determine the basic correlation between income inequality and growth across the sectors of interest, eventually using VAR to estimate impulse response to changes in the composition of output. 8/11

First, using social table estimates from 1688 to 1801 I demonstrate that early shifts in relative income across professions was a result of legal distinctions in income claims, with changes resulting from the political displacement of incumbent elites 7/11

I propose that the rate of within-sector income inequality is a mostly a product of the interaction between the legal institutional environment and a propensity for rent-seeking determined by market structure, factor intensity (particularly capital intensity), and geography. 4/11

The upward consolidation of income through the 19th century is clearly correlated with increasing industrial output, peaking at the height of the Industrial Revolution in Britain. But what were the unique features of industrial production that contributed to this outcome? 3/11

In simple terms I argue that elevated income inequality during the Industrial Revolution was in part a result of the shift in sectoral composition of output, with the growing industrial sector being structurally predisposed to elite capture relative to other sectors. 2/11
