  11. As discussed in the paper, the focal definition also imposes an assumption of perfect indivisibility, despite evidence to the contrary of cooperative ownership (Myers 1921) and custom work (Gilbert 1930). To ensure that the results are not sensitive to this assumption, in Table C.2 I re-estimate these regressions defining diffusion as the number of tractors per 100 acres of county farmland. The regressions for 1925-1930 are estimated on a sample excluding the Plains states (North and South Dakota, Kansas, and Nebraska), where farmland was expanding rapidly at the time. The results are qualitatively similar to those in the body of the paper.

  64. The data used in the New Deal and Dust Bowl robustness checks were obtained from Fishback, Kantor, and Wallis (2003) and Hornbeck (2012), respectively. The New Deal robustness checks include the Fishback et al. measures of AAA relief spending and FCA lending by county from 1933-1939, normalized by harvested acreage; the Dust Bowl robustness checks restrict to counties in the Hornbeck dataset, which are located in the Plains states (Kansas, Nebraska, the Dakotas, Iowa, and Minnesota) and were those most affected by the Dust Bowl. Hybrid corn diffusion was provided by Richard Sutch (Sutch 2011, 2014) and originally obtained from the USDA Agricultural Statistics; the hybrid corn adopter robustness checks are restricted to the six states that were leading adopters of hybrids (by a wide margin, see Table A.1) in 1940.

  70. The next check replaces diffusion with the log-odds ratio: if diffusion follows a logistic pattern in the explanatory variables, then the log-odds ratio will be linear in these variables. Though Griliches (1957) demonstrates that diffusion follows a logistic pattern over time, it is not ex-ante obvious that it does so in other variables – but in the event that it does, the results in Table C.1 lay to rest any concerns that the results in the paper are driven by mismeasurement of the dependent variable, as the patterns persist for the log-odds measure.

  71. The second table shows farm population in the 1940s, which declined precipitiously during World War II, mirroring the national trend. During the war, the Midwest farm population declined 21%, with state-level changes ranging from-15% in Iowa to-24% in Michigan. The proximate cause of the decline was the war effort, which mobilized adult males into other sectors: the 1950 Census of Agriculture notes that “a rapid loss of farm population occurred during World War II because of the demand for manpower in industry and in the military services.” Table B.2: Farm Population (thousands), State Totals, 1920-1940 Pct.
