At the upper bound, the controls could explain an important fraction of cross-region convergence, but they likely had little effect on inequality between occupations. Moreover, because of sorting by race and education into occupations, the controls cannot explain much of the narrowing of the educational skill premium nor the racial gap.

This paper introduces two methods to improve geocoding in such cases: cross-referencing local gazetteers and developing a phonetic cross-walk to standardized Romanization. While using publicly available GIS data locate only 47.4% of church sites, our method can be used to identify an additional 39.6% of these sites.

We then use these links as training data for a machine learning algorithm to make new matches, and incorporate other recent efforts to link the historical U.S. censuses. Finally, we introduce a procedure for filtering the links and adjudicating disagreements. Our complete Census Tree achieves match rates across adjacent censuses that are between 69 and 86 % for men and between 58 and 79 % for women—a major breakthrough compared to previous linking efforts. The size of the Census Tree allows researchers in the social sciences and other disciplines to construct longitudinal datasets that are highly representative of the population. We validate the accuracy of these links and provide researchers with a simple tool for choosing their preferred tradeoff between sample size and accuracy. To demonstrate the advantages of the Census Tree, we extend the work of Abramitzky, Boustan, Jácome, and Pérez (2021) to include intergenerational mobility estimates for additional immigrant nationalities and for women.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":47413,"journal":{"name":"Explorations in Economic History","volume":"98 ","pages":"Article 101717"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2025-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145181192","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
