Abstract

[Ship sales, a balance-of-payments credit separate from merchandise, are generated as the product of price and volume. Superior price data than predecessors employed is the main contribution here. Slave imports are a debit item. For U.S.-ship transportation of slaves (whether from Africa or the Caribbean), the cost of purchase is pertinent; for foreign-ship disembarkations, the U.S. selling price is applicable. The balance of payments includes only the cost or revenue of the slave-ship owners; excluded are the costs to the enslaved people themselves (liberty, dignity, labor exploitation).]
