The first chapter, co-authored with Jacob Field and Di Song Tan, examines how disasters as well as individuals’ expectations of what others will do affect the development of cities. The development of cities often involves the rejuvenation or replacement of existing structures. However, history, in the form of the sunk cost of existing durable structures, often serves as an impediment to urban development. In theory, by reducing the opportunity cost of waiting to rebuild to zero, disasters can eliminate these frictions and bring about higher quality structures. In addition, the simultaneous rebuilding after a disaster would allow property owners to experience stronger cross- building spillovers which would encourage further upgrades of nearby buildings. Nevertheless, these are not sufficient to guarantee higher quality buildings. This is because individuals’ investment decisions also depend on their expectations of what others will do. Therefore, in this chapter, we examine both of these issues using the 1666 Great Fire of London as a natural experiment. First, using a difference-in-differences (DiD) strategy, we show evidence that the Fire was able to free parishes within London from the constraints of their existing durable structures and move them to a new equilibrium involving higher quality structures. Second, using DiD and an IV strategy, we find that legal rulings arising from the Fire Court – a court specially set up by the English Parliament to hear rebuilding disputes – were able to anchor expectations and in so doing, helped to facilitate the development of London. Providing causal evidence that legal rulings can be a main driver in the formation of expectations is the main contribution of our paper. The second chapter examines how the quirks of history shape present-day economic outcomes. Building on Bazzi et al. (2020), I study how a particular episode of history – time at the frontier – helps to explain the present-day manufacturing production patterns across American counties. First, I show empirical evidence that there are fewer establishments and lower employment in counties that spent a longer time on the frontier. The same results hold for industries that are more “contractible” (i.e., easier to specify in contracts and hence less susceptible to holdup). Second, using a DiD strategy, I show that firms in high “contractibility” industries sort into producing at counties that spent a longer time on the frontier. I hypothesize that due to “rugged individualism”, individuals in counties that spent a longer time on the frontier are less likely to trust other people. Therefore, anything that is not “contractible” becomes harder and more costly to enforce. Consequently, only the more “contractible” industries locate in counties that spent a longer time on the frontier. The third chapter, co-authored with Di Song Tan, examines how land use regulations and NIMBY (“not in my back yard”) behavior affect housing prices in the UK. In the UK, developers have to apply to the local planning authority to seek development permission. Applicants who have their plans rejected can appeal to the Secretary of State, via the Planning Inspectorate. The Planning Inspectorate then assigns an inspector to decide whether to overturn the local authority’s decision. We propose a theoretical model which shows that in locations with high levels of NIMBY-ism, developers are better off getting their plans rejected by the local authority and gambling on drawing an inspector who is less sympathetic towards locals’ NIMBY behavior. Our empirical strategy exploits the fact that inspectors are quasi-randomly assigned to the appeals. This allows us to use inspector leniency as an instrument for whether an appeal is successful. We find that overturning the local authority’s decision does not lead to a large fall in housing prices. For some projects, the impact may in fact be positive because they also add to local amenities such as retail shops. This suggests a prevalence of NIMBY-ism, as locals pressure authorities to reject even relatively benign projects.

  • St. Margaret's in Eastcheap
    ST. MARGARET'S IN EASTCHEAP NINE HUNDRED YEARS OF HISTORY A Lecture delivered to St. Margaret's Historical Society on January 6th, 1967 by Dr. Gordon Huelin "God that suiteth in Trinity, send us peace and unity". St. Margaret's In Eastcheap : Nine hundred years of History. During the first year of his reign, 1067, William the Conqueror gave to the abbot and church of St. Peter's, Westminster, the newly-built wooden chapel of St. Margaret in Eastcheap. It was, no doubt, with this in mind that someone caused to be set up over the door of St. Margaret Pattens the words “Founded 1067”. Yet, even though it seems to me to be going too far to claim that a church of St. Margaret's has stood upon this actual site for the last nine centuries, we in this place are certainly justified in giving' thanks in 1967 for the fact that for nine hundred years the faith has been preached and worship offered to God in a church in Eastcheap dedicated to St. Margaret of Antioch. In the year immediately following the Norman Conquest much was happening as regards English church life. One wishes that more might be known of that wooden chapel in Eastcheap, However, over a century was to elapse before even a glimpse is given of the London churches-and this only in general terms. In 1174, William Fitzstephen in his description of London wrote that “It is happy in the profession of the Christian religion”. As regards divine worship Fitzstephen speaks of one hundred and thirty-six parochial churches in the City and suburbs.

  • The Great Fire of London
    The Great Fire of London HEN Samuel Pepys, a near neighbour of the Penn family at Tower Hill, was awakened by his servant Wabout 3 o'clock on the morning of Sunday, 2nd September, 1666, to be told of a great fire that could be seen in the City, he decided, after looking out of the window, that it was too far away and so returned to bed. Later that morning he realised that this was no ordinary fire, and all that day, and the following days, he was torn between his curiosity to see more of the fire and his anxiety as to the possible damage to his goods, his home and to the Navy Office of which he was Secretary. On the Monday he and Sir William Penn sent some of their possessions down river to Deptford. The narrow congested streets, with bottlenecks at the gates and posterns, where everyone was endeavouring to escape with what goods he could save, added to the con­ fusion. On the evening of the second day of the fire Pepys and Sir William Penn dug pits in their gardens in which to place their wine; Pepys, remembering his favourite Parmesan cheese, put that in, as well as some of his office papers. Sir William Penn brought workmen from the Dockyard to blow up houses in order to prevent the fire reaching the church of All Hallows by the Tower. The anxiety of Pepys and Penn, their uncertainties whether or not to remove their goods, their lack of sleep and the difficulty of obtaining food, which Pepys records in his Diary, are typical of the problems of the citizens, among whom were a large number of Quakers.

  • What Happened in the Great Fire of London? the Great Fire of London Is One of the Most Well-Known Disasters in London’S History
    What happened in the Great Fire of London? The Great Fire of London is one of the most well-known disasters in London’s history. It began on 2 September 1666 and lasted just under five days. One-third of London was destroyed and about 100,000 people were made homeless. The fire had a devastating effect on the lives of Londoners from all parts of society. It took about 50 years to rebuild the ruined city. We can still see the evidence of the fire today through archaeological discoveries and the remains of ruined churches. The Museum of London has many objects relating to the Great Fire that help us to answer questions about this terrible event. What caused the Great Fire? The fire started at 1am on Sunday morning on 2 September in Thomas Farriner’s bakery on Pudding Lane. It may have been caused by a spark from his oven falling onto a pile of fuel nearby. The fire spread easily because London was very dry after a long, hot summer. The area around Pudding Lane was full of warehouses containing highly flammable things like timber, rope and oil. A very strong easterly wind blew the fire from house to house in the narrow streets. In 1979 archaeologists excavated the remains of a burnt- out shop on Pudding Lane which was very close to the bakery where the fire started. In the cellar they found the charred remnants of 20 barrels of pitch (tar). Pitch burns very easily and would have helped to spread the fire. Among the burnt objects from the shop, the archaeologists found these melted pieces of pottery which Melted pottery, 1666 show that the temperature of the fire was as high as 1700 degrees Celsius! ©Museum London of 2011 A Frenchman, Robert Hubert, confessed to starting the Great Fire and was hanged.
