Rules and rewards in the age of sail: a reply
نویسنده
چکیده
Benjamin and Thornberg (hereafter BT) have written a comment on my paper analyzing the incentive structure of the British Navy. They contend that I have ‘‘misread the historical development of the Royal Navy, and missed crucial technological and institutional features that are essential to understanding the Navy s organization and success.’’ This is a surprising statement given the fundamental agreement we have over the grounds for this navy s success during the age of sail. Their paper, however, is flawed in its interpretation of my paper. Incorrectly characterizing my argument, they have built a case against a straw man. Their comment amounts to a dispute over a few facts.
