In the model, welfare is measured by household real income, and urbanization is measured by population density. I use the model to derive statistics that measure the effect of a new technology on productivity, welfare, and urbanization. The empirical application of the paper estimates these effects using nineteenth-century firm-level data on mechanical steam power in the Canadian manufacturing sector, and township-level population data. The results indicate that the introducation of steam power increased productivity by 22.8 percent, and welfare by 6.0 percent. By comparing the model predicted change in urbanization to observed population density growth, I find that the introducation of mechanical steam power accounts for approximately 6.2 percent of the observed variation in urbanization during this period."--Abstract, p. ii. |
