Irrigation Technology and the Conservative Turn in Rural America Aditya Dasgupta, University of California, Merced Industrial Revolution and Political Change: Evidence from the British Isles Adriane Fresh, Duke University Statebuilding at the Grassroots: Agra district, 1871-2011 Alexander Lee, University of Rochester When State Building Backfires: Elite Divisions and Collective Action in Rebellion Francisco Garfias, University of California, San Diego Emily Sellers, Yale University Discussant Jan Pierskalla, The Ohio State University The past decades have seen a vast expansion of work applying classic political economy models and techniques of analysis to historical events. This panel includes a set of cutting edge papers from this literature, drawn from a wide variety of chronological and geographical settings. Directly or indirectly, all the papers examine the effects of economic changes (technological change, trade expansion, drought, the overall expansion of the 20th century Indian economy) on political preferences. All use original, often quite extensive projects of data collection. Dasgupta’s paper examines why rural voters support conservative parties despite low income levels that should dictate support for redistribution. Drawing on a historical natural experiment in the American great plains, it traces the “conservative turn” in rural America to a mid-20th century technological revolution in agriculture: the introduction of new irrigation technologies, notably center-pivot-irrigation, which made it much easier to profitably irrigate crops on a large scale with groundwater. It provides evidence that counties with aquifers became systematically more conservative in elections following the introduction of the new irrigation technology, due to the consolidation of large-scale farms based on water-intensive crops. In these areas, the rise of concentrated agribusiness interests played a critical role in tilting elections in a conservative direction. The findings highlight how biased technological change, by activating special interests, can play a disruptive role in politics. Fresh’s paper considers the political consequences of the dramatic expansion of British overseas trade beginning in the late 16th century brought about by the discovery of new ocean shipping routes to Asia and the Americas. Using an original individual-level dataset on the characteristics of Members of Parliament in England and Wales spanning two centuries (1550-1750), it examines the differential effect of an aggregate trend in expanding trade for constituencies more (as compared to less) directly connected to the expanding commercial economy. It finds that trade increased electoral contests and may have led the commercial interest to be more represented in parliament, but little evidence that expanding trade fundamentally empowered new societal groups on other dimensions --- dynastic and aristocratic MPs, two markers of the traditional elite, were unaffected by the change. Together these findings suggest conditions under which economic change produces a transformation in the political elite. Lee’s paper takes a critical approach to the historical political economy literature. This literature is frequently characterized by highly aggregated units of analysis, a tight focus on a single intervention and a elision of events and conditions between the intervention and the measurement of the outcome. This paper analyses variation in the incidence of a wide variety of historical institutions and economic trends—colonial, precolonial, and postcolonial—at the village level within a single Indian district, using a complete panel dataset of villagelevel public goods provision over the 1871-2011 period, and additional data on precolonial and colonial landholding and land tenure arrangements and contemporary voting. While it finds that there are many correlations between historical institutions, the land tenure system, and contemporary voting and public goods, the historical interventions are so correlated with each other as to make causal inference difficult. The results indicate the obstacles to modeling the outcomes of complicated and interdependent historical processes. Sellers and Garfias. examine the complementary roles of state weakness, elite divisions, and popular grievances on rebellion. They argue that state-building efforts increase division between local and national elites, which undermines provincial peacekeeping efforts and provides an opening for popular rebellion. For a given level of grievance, revolts from below are therefore more likely to be attempted and more likely to spread in areas where local elites harbor grievances over earlier state-building efforts. They provide support for the theory using subnational data on rebellion, tax centralization, and drought from the late 17th-century to the Mexican War of Independence. We show that droughts led to peasant uprisings throughout the late colonial period, but it was not until the weakening of national institutions following the fall of the Bourbon dynasty in 1808 that these uprisings grew into a large-scale insurgency. Insurgent mobilization during the Independence War was more likely in drought-affected areas that had higher exposure to the Bourbon centralization of tax collection, which reduced the rents available to the local 2100 New Contexts, New Approaches: Reevaluating the Rise of Economic Inequality Thursday Class and Inequality 8:00am-9:20am Participants Explaining Income Inequality in Florida, 2000-2016 Alyson Johnson, University of Central Florida Aubrey Jewett, University of Central Florida Indebted: American Personal Debt and its Political Consequences Giancarlo A Gonzalez, University of Tennessee, Knoxville Inequality, Corruption, and Satisfaction with Democracy: Experimental Evidence from Argentina and Mexico Gregory W Saxton, Texas Tech University Microdata and Regional-Level Variables: Inequality, Income, and Redistributive Preferences Will Horne, Princeton University Alexander Kerchner, Princeton University Power Distribution, Public Policy, and Market income Inequality in East Asia Yu Yan, University of Tennessee, Knoxville This panel brings together papers focused on the phenomenon of growing economic inequality across various political contexts.
