“…This paper develops a new method for measuring transport costs using geographical information systems and regression analysis. In principle, costs can be established from business records showing the prices charged for the services involved, and much has been established through these methods (Beveridge 1939;Bogart et al 2021;Freeman 1977;Gerhold 2005Gerhold , 2014Hatcher 1993;Jackman 1966;Maw 2013;Nef 1932). It is hard to get a comprehensive overview, however-comprehensive both in the sense of geographical coverage and of the services involved.…”

The Transportation Revolution and the English Coal Industry, 1695–1842: A Geographical Approach

Cross sections of coal prices in England for 1695, 1795, and 1842 are used to infer transportation rates by sea, river, canal, and road. The effectiveness of monopolies, the degree of market integration, and the patterns of regional supply of each mining district are then established. The growth rates of productivity in sea, river, and road transport from 1695–1842 are computed and combined with a social savings assessment of canals to measure the overall growth in the productivity of shipping coal. Productivity growth was substantial but had a surprisingly limited impact on the geography of production and consumption.

“…The Railway Mania resulted in a boom of railway construction and a subsequent financial panic. Jackman (1916, p.585) argued that during 1844–1846, Parliament sanctioned Bills for the construction of 8470 miles of railways, which was three times the mileage already constructed. The mania is accompanied by a speculative run‐up and sudden collapse of railway shares.…”

A review of Phillips‐type right‐tailed unit root bubble detection tests

Recent developments on the right‐tailed unit root tests of Phillips et al., which are used to date stamp the origination and collapse dates of asset price bubbles, have generated considerable interest. This paper provides a review for both empirical researchers that adopt these new econometric tools to detect the presence of asset price bubbles, and theoretical papers that extend these testing procedures. This paper also uses the psymonitor package in R to demonstrate the practical use of such tests using an example based on data for British Railway Mania of the 1840s.

“…The river's water and silt and consequent interactions with buildings and boats periodically made safe, efficient navigation difficult. Thames Navigation Acts in 1694 and 1729 attempted to grant regulating authority over the river to various bodies in an attempt to gain control of the space and limit the difficulties caused by these material changes (Jackman, , pp. 177–179).…”

Redesigning the river: Bridge‐building on the London Thames 1730–1830

The bridges in London built between 1730 and 1830 were the first new crossings in over 500 years and were seen by designers, politicians and commentators as opportunities to fundamentally redesign the river space in the service of the economic, political, imperial and civic ideals of the time. A close examination of the proposals, designs and usage of the six new bridges shows that the river landscape was co-produced by an entanglement of human and non-human materials, ideas and agencies, from the river's waters to contemporary economic theory.However, in exploring the creation of these new points of interaction or collision between the materialities of the river and the bridges, and contemporary social motivations, it becomes apparent that architects and engineers were not the sole designers of the bridges or the river. The bridges and the wider river landscape were and are constantly redesigned as social and natural forces intertwine and collide to varying degrees, building and eroding the material forms of the Thames.In treating the river as a material thing it is possible to explore the different forces which shaped that thing, incorporating consideration of social influences, but also the non-human and natural forces which have often been neglected in understanding how the urban environment was designed.
