Importing sobrie‘tea’: Understanding the tea trade during the Industrial Revolution

This dataset contains three spreadsheets. The first spreadsheet consists of the three variables I use for the main regression of tea, hours and wages. The second spreadsheet has the variables that I use for my robustness check with consumption instead of tea imports. Last spreadsheet has the preliminary regression variables with real prices and quantity of tea imports. I use this regression to predict the non smuggling quantity of tea.
