  • Distribution and Seasonal Movements of the House Sparrow
    Bird-Banding 2o] NICHOLS,Distribution of theHouse Sparrow January DISTRIBUTION AND SEASONAL MOVEMENTS OF THE HOUSE SPARROW By Joun T. N•cuoLs Fi•oM January, 1930, to October, 1933, 450 House Sparrows were banded at Garden City, New York. Adult House Sparrowsare notoriouslytrap-shy, seldomrepeating or return- ing. Such scattering repeats and returns as there have been to date do not, in themselves,prove much as to the local move- ments of the species. However, adults were banded on the right leg, and recog- nizably young birds on the left leg, thus dividing the popula- tion into six groupseasily recognizableat the trapping station by sight. The varying proportionsof these groupspresent by observationare shownin percentagesin Table 1. We will begin by summarizing the most obvious and best groundedconclusions based on this table: (1) Young birds as a class leave the trapping station im- mediately if they are strong on the wing and independent of their parents. Their leaving seemsto be due to lack of place memory, correlated with a general lack of memory which causesthem to repeat much more freely than the adults. It is not that they are crowded out by the adults or seek a differ- ent environment,for at the sametime the proportionof birds of the year at the station rises, as would be expectedat that season. It is rather a matter of chance,with a drifting popula- tion, chancewhich will later bring a small proportion of them back to the station again. (2) The proportion of banded adult males at the trapping station has risen rapidly since 1930 with continued banding, and is subjectto wide seasonalfluctuations, which can only be explained by a more or less regular return of birds from out- side to the station.

  • What Caused the Great Depression? Herbert Hoover and Labor Shedding
    What Caused the Great Depression? Herbert Hoover and Labor Shedding Lee E. Ohanian UCLA and Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis November, 2006 - Preliminary and Incomplete Abstract This paper addresses the factors that started the Great Depres- sion. Using monthly data from the industrial sector, I find that there are three significant puzzles about the start of the Depression.. The first is that the Depression was immediately severe, but that stan- dard business cycle shocks, including monetary shocks, productivity shocks, banking shocks, and other shocks were either small or non- operative before the Depression through mid-1931. The second puzzle is that industrial hours worked fell more than implied by changes in productivity or the real wage. The third puzzle is that both nominal and real wages in the industrial sector rose during the early stages of the Depression. The most promising theory for understanding these puzzles is a change in labor policies that reduced the ability of firms to suppress unionization. I thank Hal Cole, Monique Ebel, David Levine, Ed Prescott, Al- brecht Ritschl, and Jean-Laurent Rosenthal for discussions. 1 Introduction There are two phases of the Great Depression: the Great Contraction, from 1929 to 1933, and the failure to recover, from 1933 to 1939. This paper addresses the start of the Contraction and aims to understand why the Con- traction started and why it was so immediately severe; hours worked in the industrial sector fell 42 percent between October, 1929 and August, 1931. To address these questions, I analyze the highest frequency data available, 1 which is monthly output and hours data from the industrial sector.
