Acknowledgments

Stanley L. Engerman and Gavin Wright thank Nathan Rosenberg for helpful advice on the essay on science and technology in this chapter. They also extend thanks to Chris Meissner and Andrea Maestrejuan for research assistance for the tables on science and technology and to Sriniketh Nagavarapu for assistance with the productivity tables.

Daniel Johnson thanks Robert E. Evenson for the initial question that generated the impetus for the data in Table Cg38–68, Table Cg69–107. A preliminary version of the data benefited from comments made by Anne Knowles and other participants at the Social Sciences History Association meetings in Chicago, 1998. Kristine Ishii provided research help. Funding was provided by a Wellesley College Faculty Research Grant.
