Factor and Commodity Flows in the International Economy of 1870–1914: A Multi-Country View

Alan Green and M. C. Urquhart

The Journal of Economic History, 1976, vol. 36, issue 1, 217-252

Abstract: This study focuses primarily on the movements of people and capital between a number of selected European and overseas countries during a phase of mass migration. The data indicate that the international movements of people, capital, and goods were extremely fluid, were adaptable, and took place under highly diverse conditions of population change and economic growth. A number of uniformities emerge, including for example a close relationship between international borrowing, high growth rates, and large flows of immigrants. These and a variety of other general patterns are examined as aspects of the massive demographic shifts of this period.
