Baumard proposes a model to explain the dramatic rise in innovation that occurred during the Industrial Revolution, whereby rising living standards led to slower life history strategies, which, in turn, fostered innovation. We test his model explicitly using time series data, finding limited support for these proposed linkages. Instead, we find evidence that rising living standards appear to have a time-lagged bidirectional relationship with increasing innovation.
鲍马德提出了一个模型来解释工业革命期间创新的急剧增长，即生活水平的提高导致了更缓慢的生活史策略，而这反过来又促进了创新。我们使用时间序列数据明确地检验了他的模型，结果发现这些拟议的关联得到的支持有限。相反，我们发现有证据表明，生活水平的提高与创新的增加之间似乎存在着时间上的双向关系。
