Calculated by using Allen’s comparative real wages figures for labourers at https://www.nuffield.ox.ac.uk/media/2138/labourersxls.xls. By halving the silver wage in any year in the 1750s the welfare ratio falls to 0.6.

Calculated by using Allen’s comparative real wages figures for labourers at https://www.nuffield.ox.ac.uk/media/2136/craftweb.xls. Taking 20% off the silver wage gives a welfare ratio of approximately 1.7, and 30% gives a welfare ratio of 1.4.
