We find that male celebrity media exposure can positively impact the success of a movie, whereas female celebrity exposure tends to decrease box office revenues. The results also suggest that although it may be harder for older actresses to land a lead role, it is actually the older male actors who lack the ability to carry a movie.

It involves the paradox that, although the American economy was experiencing rapid economic growth in the several decades prior to the Civil War (1861-1865), the stature of native-born white males had been declining for the birth cohorts from the late 1820s. This was also true for free blacks (Komlos, 1992), but was apparently not true for slaves. This paper uses a sample of 8592 adult back males who were recruits to the United States Colored Troops during the Civil War. They were recruited significantly among ex-slaves. Recruits from the birth cohorts of 1838-1842 were then linked to characteristics of their counties of birth from the 1840 and 1850 U.S. Censuses. Unlike slaves in the coastal manifests, these African American recruits showed evidence of a decline in heights from the birth cohorts of the 1820s onwards. Unlike the native-white recruits, however, the characteristics of their counties of birth had relatively less power in explaining differences in heights. There was some support for the mortality hypothesis, but the nutrition hypothesis needs to be interpreted in light of the fact that slave owners has a strong interest in monitoring and controlling the diet of their slaves.}, number={1}, journal={ECONOMICS & HUMAN BIOLOGY}, author={Haines, Michael R. and Craig, Lee A. and Weiss, Thomas}, year={2011}, month={Jan}, pages={45–55} } @article{craig_2011, title={The Ascent of Niall A Review of Ferguson's Ascent of Money}, volume={44}, ISSN={["0161-5440"]}, DOI={10.1080/01615440.2011.610719}, abstractNote={One can imagine the conversation between Niall Ferguson and his editor concerning Ferguson's proposal for his Ascent of Money.

This fact forms the basis of the granular hypothesis proposed by Gabaix in his paper “The Granular Origins of Aggregate Fluctuations” (Econometrica, (2011)). The granular hypothesis provides a mechanism whereby independent firm-level shocks are capable of generating macroeconomic fluctuations. This paper considers the granular hypothesis in a new framework. It develops a DSGE model by superimposing a stochastic overlapping generations framework on a network. Idiosyncratic output shocks to individual firms are transmitted across the economy through income–expenditure channels. Specifically, firms represent vertices of the network, and a firm x is linked to another firm y if x employs one or more workers who purchase commodities produced by y. The paper’s findings agree closely with results first discovered by Gabaix: if firm-sizes in an economy are described by a Pareto distribution, then independent firm-level shocks can generate macroeconomic fluctuations in accordance with the granular hypothesis. Furthermore, the model is capable of generating aggregate volatility of the same order of magnitude as occurs in reality. Thus the paper describes a new general equilibrium framework where macroeconomic fluctuations can arise as the consequence of independent firm-level shocks.}, number={1}, journal={JOURNAL OF MACROECONOMICS}, author={Craig, Lee}, year={2009}, month={Mar}, pages={94–97} } @misc{craig_2009, title={Heroes and Cowards: The Social Face of War.

Because refrigeration facilitated the hygienic handling and storage of perishables, it promoted output growth, consumption, and nutrition through the spatial and temporal integration of markets for perishables. We estimate the impact of mechanical refrigeration on output and consumption, and hence on human nutrition, concentrating on the contribution from refrigerated dairy products, an important source of nutrients, particularly proteins and calcium. We conclude that the adoption of refrigeration in the late-nineteenth-century United States increased dairy consumption by 1.7% and overall protein intake by 1.25% annually after the 1890s. The increase in protein consumption was particularly important to the growth of the human organism. According to our lower-bound estimates, refrigeration directly contributed at least 5.1% of the increase in adult stature of the postrefrigeration cohorts, and combined with the indirect effects associated with improvements in the quality of nutrients and the reduction in illness, the overall impact was considerably larger.}, number={2}, journal={Social Science History}, publisher={Cambridge University Press (CUP)}, author={Craig, Lee A. and Goodwin, Barry and Grennes, Thomas}, year={2004}, pages={325–336} } @article{craig_goodwin_grennes_2004, title={The effect of mechanical refrigeration on nutrition in the United States}, volume={28}, ISSN={["1527-8034"]}, DOI={10.1215/01455532-28-2-325}, number={2}, journal={SOCIAL SCIENCE HISTORY}, author={Craig, LA and Goodwin, B and Grennes, T}, year={2004}, pages={325–336} } @book{clark_craig_wilson_2003, title={A history of public sector pensions in the United States}, ISBN={0812237145}, publisher={Philadelphia: University of Pennsylvania Press}, author={Clark, R.

Despite this observation, these are not tales of gloom. After all, as the authors themselves inform us, the old and disabled get pensions, the poor get minimum wages, and the sick get healed. So, each dissertation contains something to reassure the Dr. Pangloss–or the Dr. Stigler–in all of us. Here, however, the similarities between them end, with one notable exception–and that is the uniformly high quality of the scholarship they display.}, number={2}, journal={The Journal of Economic History}, publisher={Cambridge University Press (CUP)}, author={Craig, Lee A.}, year={1995}, month={Jun}, pages={386–390} } @article{craig_1995, title={The Political Economy of Public-Private Compensation Differentials: The Case of Federal Pensions}, volume={55}, ISSN={0022-0507 1471-6372}, url={http://dx.doi.org/10.1017/S0022050700041073}, DOI={10.1017/S0022050700041073}, abstractNote={Numerous empirical studies indicate that, as a result of rent-seeking behavior, public-sector workers are overcompensated relative to their private-sector counterparts, with pensions representing part of the difference. I present a history of the Federal Employees Retirement Act of 1920 and show that rent seeking by federal workers cannot explain several features of the act. Instead, I argue that the act represented an optimal incentive contract between Congress and civil service employees in which civil servants accepted mandatory retirement and a compensating wage differential in exchange for the federal pension plan.}, number={2}, journal={The Journal of Economic History}, publisher={Cambridge University Press (CUP)}, author={Craig, Lee A.}, year={1995}, month={Jun}, pages={304–320} } @misc{craig_1994, title={Entitled to Power: Farm Women and Technology, 1913–1963.
