New working paper announcement! Ever wondered why Irish is such an endangered language? Joint work with Alan Fernihough and Eoin McLaughlin (@eoinaldo) crunches the numbers. We argue language loss was driven by endogenous demand for English, not exogenous policy imposition.

There are so many age heaping papers out there today. We think this is because it is an easy-to-calculate measure using readily available census data. But what heaping really means is open to debate. We encourage colleagues in economic history to join this debate.

We take on the age-heaping-as-numeracy interpretation that is now all but ubiquitous across the economic history literature by really looking closely at the demographic data for 19th-century Ireland (and also Spain).
