✦ Synopsis


This article explains when and why the federal government passed laws with the intended goal of maintaining or improving a particular industry or segment of an industry. The adoption of regulatory laws across time will be described, and the surges and declines i:a the distribution explained. The empirical analysis covers the years 1861-1986. This article is an abbreviated version of a paper prepared for the 1988 Conference "Perspectives on Banking Regulation," Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland, November 3--4, 1988. I am very indebted to George J. Benston who allowed me to revise the paper in response to his criticisms.
