▼a This dissertation contains three empirical studies in economic history and labor economics.The first chapter discusses two sources of historical data on work stoppages in the United States: the Third Annual Report of the Commissioner of Labor (1888) and the Tenth Annual Report of the Commissioner of Labor (1896). It describes a new transcription of the strike tables, which includes all rows for the first time, and provides instructions for users. Four replication exercises illustrate the advantages of the new file.The second chapter uses the the data from the Third Report to test whether labor unions help workers win strikes. Unorganized workers were still responsible for two fifths of all strike activity in the United States in the early 1880s, which allows me to identify the effect of unions on strike outcomes. Because organized workers might attempt riskier confrontations than the unorganized, I construct an instrument for the involvement of a union in a strike from the location of the assemblies of the Knights of Labor. I estimate that unions raised strikers' success rate by 32 percentage points from a baseline of 38 percent |
