Leveraging a novel dataset of county-pair transport costs, we utilize time-, region-, and direction-specific freight rates and newly digitized road network to understand how declining transit costs reshaped the agrarian landscape and agricultural production. These data allow for a rigorous evaluation of what we can call an antebellum \"place-based\" transport policies and their heterogeneous effects on antebellum regions. We use minimum spanning tree approach to construct a plausibly exogenous transportation network which is used to assess the causal impact of transportation infrastructure on antebellum agriculture.\n \nOur first set of findings reveal that the impact of canal construction was not uniform, showing considerable variation across different geographic regions. Notably, in the Middle Atlantic, the introduction of canals catalyzed a significant reallocation of resources away from wheat production, signalling a shift in comparative advantage. While canals laid the groundwork, railroads exerted the most transformative influence during the 1850s. In the final decade preceding the Civil War, the expansion of the rail network drove a broad reallocation away from traditional grain production, as improved connectivity facilitated deeper market integration and specialization. By accounting for the nuances of freight directionality and regional specificity, this study provides new evidence on how infrastructure-led cost reductions altered land use and productivity patterns in the nineteenth-century U.S. economy.", "occurrence_notes":null, "guid":"143570-21893403@events.umich.edu", "permalink":"http:\/\/events.umich.edu\/event\/143570", "building_id":"1005177", "building_name":"North Quad", "campus_maps_id":"553", "room":"4325", "location_name":"North Quad", "has_livestream":0, "cost":"", "tags":["seminar","Economics","History"], "website":"http:\/\/www.lsa.umich.edu\/econ", "sponsors":[ { "group_name":"Department of Economics", "group_id":"3302", "website":"http:\/\/www.lsa.umich.edu\/econ" }, { "group_name":"Economic History", "group_id":"3549", "website":"" }, { "group_name":"Department of Economics Seminars", "group_id":"3566", "website":"" } ], "image_url":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/attachments\/2026\/01\/event_143570_original-1.png", "styled_images":{ "event_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2026\/01\/event_143570_original-1.png", "event_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large\/media\/attachments\/2026\/01\/event_143570_original-1.png", "event_large_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_2x\/media\/attachments\/2026\/01\/event_143570_original-1.png", "event_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2026\/01\/event_143570_original-1.png", "group_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2026\/01\/event_143570_original-1.png", "group_thumb_square":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_thumb_square\/media\/attachments\/2026\/01\/event_143570_original-1.png", "group_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_large\/media\/attachments\/2026\/01\/event_143570_original-1.png", "group_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2026\/01\/event_143570_original-1.png", "event_large_crop":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_crop\/media\/attachments\/2026\/01\/event_143570_original-1.png", "event_list":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_list\/media\/attachments\/2026\/01\/event_143570_original-1.png", "event_list_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_list_2x\/media\/attachments\/2026\/01\/event_143570_original-1.png", "event_grid":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_grid\/media\/attachments\/2026\/01\/event_143570_original-1.png", "event_grid_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_grid_2x\/media\/attachments\/2026\/01\/event_143570_original-1.png", "event_feature_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_feature_large\/media\/attachments\/2026\/01\/event_143570_original-1.png", "event_feature_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_feature_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2026\/01\/event_143570_original-1.png" }, "occurrence_count":1, "first_occurrence":21893403 } , "147414-21900992": { "datetime_modified":"20260405T231431", "datetime_start":"20260407T150000", "datetime_end":"20260407T160000", "has_end_time":1, "date_start":"2026-04-07", "date_end":"2026-04-07", "time_start":"15:00:00", "time_end":"16:00:00", "time_zone":"America\/Detroit", "event_title":"Student Commutative Algebra: An Introduction to Neural Rings", "occurrence_title":"", "combined_title":"Student Commutative Algebra: An Introduction to Neural Rings: Havi Ellers", "event_subtitle":"Havi Ellers", "event_type":"Workshop \/ Seminar", "event_type_id":"21", "description":"Suppose a small animal is running around an enclosure (stimulus space).

But that model is highly special, and for a long time it was unclear whether these phenomena reflected genuine universality or exceptional symmetry.\n\nI will discuss recent work showing that these spectral phenomena are robust and universal in a natural class. The key new insight is that one can uncover intrinsic low-dimensional symplectic dynamics hidden inside the problem, even when the standard dual cocycle formalism is no longer available.
