We have a new working paper: Using new data on individual bankruptcies from 19th Century Britain, we find that most bankruptcies occurred where the economy was booming. Check out Jean‘s great summary here!
New Working Paper with the amazing @korntob.bsky.social : tinyurl.com/CESifoWPLocal.
It is also my first CESifo Working Paper.
In short: We study "local reallocation": the exit of some workers from production even though employment increases in the same area and industry.
