Our paper on state-building and the French Revolution is forthcoming in the AER! In 1790, a radical administrative reform laid the foundations of the modern French state. We study its consequences for state capacity and economic development in the short and long run.
Forthcoming in the AER: "The Dynamic Consequences of State-Building: Evidence from the French Revolution" by Cédric Chambru, Emeric Henry, and Benjamin Marx.
