Research Associate
Impact of War on U.S. Economic Development in the 20th Century
Primary responsibilities will include historical and theoretical economics
research, help with preparation of draft chapters and literature reviews,
and integrating our already completed research in connection with a book on
war and the economy in the 20th Century.
Position focuses on research into the dynamic relationships between
political-economic events and military events--especially the impact of wars
in the 20th Century on U.S. economic development. What can be said,
specifically, about the larger dynamic of long term cyclicality and the
impact of World War I, World War II, Korea, Vietnam and the Cold War on the
trajectory of economic change? And what of the current, post-post-war era?
We seek applicants with demonstrated writing skills and a firm grasp of
macro-economics and/or U.S. economic history.
Key questions to be addressed include:
What has the impact of war been on the role of government in the
economy
(planning / scale of government / economic thought)?
What has been the role of military spending in maintaining aggregate
demand?
What has been the role of war in ending depression / recession /
downswings?
To what extent was the Vietnam War responsible for stagflation?
What have been the impacts of various means of financing war?
How has war impacted the international political economic system
(trade
/
finance / etc.)?
Has military spending been a central factor in preserving the
stability
of
the U.S. economic system?
What has the role of military development been in the larger advance
of
technology?
What are the key impacts of military spending on regional growth in
the
U.S.?
Interested applicants should send a letter describing their qualifications
