Letter Lag and Shipment Size in a Catalan Brandy House, 1786–1814
A research poster from the School of Continuous Improvement reads 2,318 receipt-endorsed quotation letters in one coastal Catalan brandy house's letter-book against 412 consignments in its shipping ledger, 1786–1814, and finds that consignment size follows the northern price as dated by the letter's arrival, not its writing (elasticity 0.41), so that the price the house traded on was a median four weeks old in peace and nine in war.
