Abstract

This chapter looks at a series of tests of macroeconomic influences that run across national boundaries. Of course it is indisputable that the industrial revolution spilled across state lines, but whether the effects were broad enough to produce an interaction that can be discerned by means of macroeconomic time-series tests is certainly another matter. Indeed, because most of the formal tests proposed here require that the relationship hold up for a considerable time, the cards seem stacked against the general hypothesis. Even so, there are good reasons to believe that growth was an interactive process in Europe at this time, perhaps because of spillovers and perhaps because of the possibly increasingly pan-European nature of capital markets (and business cycles). Of course the adoption of the gold standard in this period by the countries covered in this study also increases the likelihood of there being discernible ties, particularly of financial variables.
