DESCRIPTION:*Knowledge production is vital to modern progress\, but what ab
 out the past? Pre-industrial European academic institutions are often assum
 ed to have been flawed\, with misallocated talents and resources. In this p
 aper\, I examine the role of academies\, dynamic and scientifically oriente
 d institutions that emerged between 1650 and 1800. Using new data on histor
 ical European academia and advanced difference-in-difference methods\, I fi
 nd that academies contributed to long-term urban growth. Exploiting individ
 ual-level data on scholars\, I further show that literary academies had no 
 long-term effect\, whereas scientific academies led to persistent growth. F
 inally\, I demonstrate that academies had positive spillover effects\, both
  on the growth of neighboring cities and on the quality of pre-existing uni
 versities. Altogether\, I provide the first empirical evidence of the pivot
 al role scientific academies played in Europe’s economic growth.**This pa
 per explores the impact of school segregation laws on educational attainmen
 t among White and African American individuals. Following the abolition of 
 slavery\, newly freed individuals gained access to education. However\, thi
 s progress was short-lived as it was ultimately undermined by the Jim Crow 
 laws\, which enforced racial segregation in multiple aspects of life. Durin
 g this period\, states enacted legislation either requiring or prohibiting 
 segregation in education. While extensive research has examined the repeal 
 of these laws\, their initial implementation has received less attention. T
 o evaluate their effects\, I have constructed a comprehensive dataset on ed
 ucational legislation\, with a particular focus on school segregation laws.
  This dataset is merged with the IPUMS 1940 1% sample\, enabling analysis o
 f educational outcomes among cohorts who attended school between 1866 and 1
 920. The objective of this study is to exploit variation in exposure to sch
 ool segregation laws across school cohorts and the timing of state-level im
 plementation\, to apply a continuous staggered difference-in-differences es
 timation strategy.\\n\\nContact: Philippine Escudié : philippine.escudie[
