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.

Read our short summary of the paper on @The_EHES Positive Check blog: "To heap or not to heap, that is the question": https://t.co/P7BpAVjluc

"Age structure and age heaping: solving Ireland’s post-famine digit preference puzzle" (with Stuart Henderson and @eoinaldo), just published open access in European Review of Economic History (@The_EHES) https://t.co/Z55GxYXHCG

[Chris Colvin @ClioChris]

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.
