The study finds that Swedish immigrants to the US (1900–1910) saw migration returns exceeding 60%, with higher returns among the lowest social classes—mainly due to higher US wages, not occupational mobility. (Twitter handle: @m_castillob, Lund University)

The state sought to cut costs to cope with external competition. Stagnant wages were tolerated due to a paternalistic state-worker relationship, weak class consciousness, women’s supportive roles in factory and agricultural work, and limited alternatives outside the factory.

The Corden-Neary model predicts wage divergence across sectors in economies importing cheap manufactures and exporting agricultural products to the detriment of industry. While the findings align with this, wage setting also contributes to wage stagnation in state factories.

Comparison of this new wage series with other sectors (construction, agriculture) and with the same sector abroad (Belgium, England) reveals that wages in Ottoman state textile factories remained stagnant relative to both domestic and international counterparts in the period.
