Current projects:

The economic consequences of organizational law. (This project is joint with my colleague Naomi Lamoreaux; Jean-Laurent Rosenthal of Caltech; and Ron Harris of the University of Tel Aviv). Project description. This project deals primarily with France, Germany, the United Kingdom and the United States. Susana Martínez Rodríguez is working on similar themes for the same period in Spain, and I am a co-author on some of that research.

Population and economic development in the very long run: southwest Germany, 1558-1914. (Two linked projects, joint with Sheilagh Ogilvie of the University of Cambridge.)
