Abstract:
AbstractPrevious studies of entry under New York's free banking law of 1838 have generated conflicting results. This article shows that different measures of entry lead to different conclusions about the competitive effects of the law. Measured by the entry of new banks, New York's free banking law led to increased rates of entry relative to other states. Free banking did not, however, lead to significant increases in capital accumulation in the industry. This paradoxical outcome resulted from the regulatory features of free banking, especially the bond security feature, which reduced profitability and incentives to invest in banking.

Abstract:
By the end of the nineteenth century, the banking systems of England and New England were very different. England possessed a small number of large-scale clearing banks that had established extensive branch networks and dominated the domestic market. In contrast, New England banking was characterized by a large number of small-scale institutions. Yet, a century earlier, there were striking similarities between the two systems. An analysis of their evolution over the course of the nineteenth century provides an international and comparative perspective on the continuing debate over banking institutions, lending patterns, and economic growth.

Abstract:
AbstractIn the nineteenth century, British banking had a complete spectrum of shareholder liability regimes, ranging from pure limited to unlimited liability. Although the debate surrounding the US experience with double liability in banking is well documented, we know relatively little about the British experience of and debate about shareholder liability regimes in banking. Consequently, this article traces the development of views on shareholder liability regimes in nineteenth-century British banking. One of the main findings is that the chief argument for limited liability in British banking was based upon the perceived weaknesses of unlimited liability. In addition, it appears that much of the debate concentrated on the depositor-assuring viability of alternatives to unlimited liability.

Abstract:
AbstractAlthough the misreading of Hyderabad's early nineteenth century banking firm, Palmer and Company, as scandalous, illegal, and usurious in its business practices was contested at the time in Hyderabad, and at the highest levels of the East India Company in both Calcutta and London, such conspiracy theories have prevailed and are here challenged. The Eurasian William Palmer and his partner, the Gujarati banker, Benkati Das, are best understood as indigenous sahukars or bankers. Their firm functioned like other Indian banking firms and was in competition with them in the early nineteenth century as Hyderabad State dealt with the increasing power of the British East India Company and its man-on-the-spot, the Resident. Historians need to look beyond the English language East India Company records to contextualize this important banking firm more accurately.

Abstract:
Although New England's unit banking system was declining in profitability during the late nineteenth century, the existing competitive environment prevented large institutions from outperforming their smaller rivals. As a result, there was little change in the structure of the banking system during this period. At the turn of the century, however, a wave of mergers radically transformed the banking sectors of Boston and Providence. Although the greater profitability of the mergers indicates they were a better fit to the economic environment than their smaller predecessors, their creation was only made possible by a special combination of historical circumstances.

Abstract:
Little is known about the logic of lending transactions and the development of credit markets in Mexico, or the rest of Latin America, prior to banks. We know even less about what role financial intermediaries played in these pre-banking markets, or who these intermediaries were. This article analyzes the intermediary role notaries played in the long-term credit market in Yucatan, in southeastern Mexico, in the nineteenth-century. Using a unique dataset of mortgages from the notarial records in the Yucatan state archive, the article shows that, in the absence of banks, notaries facilitated access to credit, and that, in the institutional and political context of Yucatan, both entrepreneurship and monopoly were being fostered.

Abstract:
The structures of the banking systems in early nineteenth-century England and later nineteenth-century America were quite similar. In each the multitude of independent country or interior bankers maintained correspondent accounts with bankers in the metropolis, London and New York respectively, to hold reserves and to clear and settle financial instruments used in intercity financial transactions. In spite of such similarities in structure, the performances of the two systems were, however, rather different. Although panics were frequent and their extent widespread in late eighteenth- and early nineteenth-century England involving numerous bank failures, there was never a nationwide paralysis of the payments system such as had become a regular event in late nineteenth-century America. This was due to the Bank of England's functioning as a de facto lender of last resort even though such a role was not explicitly recognized or acknowledged until decades later.

Abstract:
AbstractThe Chettiar banking system evolved and functioned in the absence of a government sponsored central bank in 19th-century India. I find that the underlying common social institution of caste was crucial for the workings of the banking system and effectively acted as a club. Exclusion was achieved by restricting membership by birth and the practice of endogamy. These mechanisms created the necessary incentives to provide meaningful rules as well as their enforcement. I describe and analyze the privately provided self-regulatory mechanisms of clearinghouses, inter-bank lending and information sharing. The Chettiar banking system thus adds to existing instances of self-regulated banking as well as points to the economic underpinnings of caste as an institution.

Bailey, Cheryl. "Provincial banking in nineteenth century England : York City & County Banking Co., 1830-1880." Thesis, University of Leicester, 2003. http://hdl.handle.net/2381/34063.

Full text
Abstract:
During the nineteenth century, the English provincial banking system transformed from a fragmented base of private firms into a sophisticated, integrated money transfer system dominated by joint-stock banks. This thesis analyses this development over the mid-century's critical years by focussing on a particular institution - York City & County Banking Co., one of the first joint-stock banks to be established in England. Examination of the bank's history between 1830 and 1880 addresses two broad themes: banking in a rural community until 1870; and, the rise of an industrial and commercial commitment thereafter. The first forty years of the bank's history might, conveniently, be described as its 'agricultural phase'. Until 1870, it serviced the agricultural communities and market towns of Yorkshire's North and East Ridings. In many regards, the business was conducted like that of a private house, particularly in terms of the clientele attracted, management's policy towards advances, and the staff recruited. What made it unusual was the propensity of the bank's management to branch from commencement. Over the late nineteenth century, York City became increasingly representative of the banking system as a whole as other provincial banks also began to initiate branch networks. In response, York City's management applied a strategy of developing custom in industrial Yorkshire and the north east. Consequently, the 1870s ushered in a period of transition and change. The opening of the Middlesbrough branch in 1871, and the subsequent policy of expansion pursued under the direction of the new general manager, William Wilberforce Morrell, involved the bank directly in industrial finance, taking it for the first time into an investing rather than saving area. Amalgamation and consolidation typified the bank's post-1870 years. An increased standardisation of business practice in line with other banks, a tendency towards 'bigness', and the increasing professionalisation of the establishment all pointed towards the adoption by York City's management of the 'corporate form'. Within fifty years, York City & County Bank grew from being a modest country bank to become one of the country's largest provincial joint-stock concerns.

Hoag, Christopher S. "Three Episodes in Nineteenth Century United States Banking and Finance." Thesis, 2003. https://thesis.library.caltech.edu/1865/1/thesis.pdf.

Full text
Abstract:

This dissertation samples three episodes from nineteenth century United States history that conveniently illustrate economic behavior in the arena of banking and finance.

The first chapter considers improvements in cross-market arbitrage due to technological change. The completion of the undersea Atlantic telegraph cable in July 1866 more closely integrated securities markets on two continents. Chapter 1 conducts an event study on one security with a dual listing on the New York and London Stock Exchanges using daily data. The event study provides some evidence that the information lag between the two markets shortened from ten days to zero days. We can recover transatlantic steamship crossing times from securities prices.

The second chapter investigates bank window dressing. Window dressing is a temporary change in portfolio designed to produce a more appealing report to regulators or to the public. Market observers accused national banks of window dressing after the Civil War. Chapter 2 attempts to determine whether or not postbellum Philadelphia banks window dressed their balance sheets. A test finds some evidence for window dressing.

The third chapter conducts an econometric test of Diamond and Dybvig's (1983) theory of bank runs as interpreted by Calomiris and Gorton (1991). Diamond and Dybvig employ an exogenous liquidity shock to depositors in order to develop a theory of bank runs. Calomiris and Gorton interpret the exogenous liquidity shock as a seasonal withdrawal from the nation's agricultural interior. Chapter 3 reexamines the hypothesis that a seasonal interior reserve drain served as the exogenous liquidity shock before the bank panics of 1873 and 1893 in the United States. Using individual bank level data in New York, this paper tests whether the banks that held most of the deposits from the interior, the "interest-paying" banks, experience reserve drains just before the panic. The evidence reveals that a seasonal interior drain could have triggered the 1873 panic, but that Diamond and Dybvig's model cannot be applied to the bank panic of 1893 without a non-seasonal interpretation of the exogenous liquidity shock.

Abstract:
The Amalgamation Movement was an outbreak of bank mergers and acquisitions in England and Wales that began around 1870, lasted for half a century and transformed the English and Welsh banking industry into a concentrated oligopoly dominated by five banks. This Amalgamation Movement was a response to the economic growth unleashed by the Industrial Revolution. For the first time ever, a human population was experiencing a sustained increase in its per-capita incomes. Economic growth like this made the British one of the wealthiest people on earth but it also gave rise to a monetary problem. An expanding post-Industrial Revolution British economy required a growing money supply to finance the increase in the value of the transactions undertaken. However, the supply of precious metals available to fashion into gold and silver coins was finite. Post-Industrial Revolution Britain had to erect its money supply on a foundation of credit and the obligation to furnish much of that credit ultimately fell upon the domestic banks. The solvency of the banking system became a vital economic consideration under these circumstances. The Amalgamation Movement secured monetary stability by putting the banking industry in England and Wales under the control of five well-resourced and effective bureaucracies. Large banks subject to good administration maintained public confidence in a money supply composed of a growing proportion of bank deposits. Bank amalgamations also compensated for the loss of the inland bill of exchange, a financial security that was the English and Welsh banking industry’s favourite reserve asset prior to 1870. Finally, the Amalgamation Movement accommodated the banking industry’s conversion to a regime of limited liability during the 1880s. Britain acquired one of the safest banking systems in the world because of the Amalgamation Movement. The run of monetary good fortune continued until a global financial crisis in 2007/08 exposed the dangers inherent in Britain’s overreliance on large banking institutions deemed to big to fail.

Abstract:
AbstractThe banking supervision in Sweden was formalized incrementally over the last half of the nineteenth century when the banking sector grew and modernized. Swedish banking regulation developed out of the charter requirement, and the supervision out of the administration of the growing number of charter applications. With the creation of the Bank Bureau within the Ministry of Finance and the development of the Bank Inspector profession in the 1860s and 1870s, banking supervisory activities such as on- and off-site examinations became more frequent and standardized. The creation of the independent agency, the Bank Inspection Board, in 1906, and the transfer of supervisory executive powers from the Ministry of Finance to the new supervisory agency, were the final step of the formalization process. During the same period, banking regulation was harmonized and furthered a process of centralizations to the authorities in Stockholm.

Abstract:
AbstractI propose, in brief, an intimate, perhaps desirable, but anyway necessary, connection between free will in Abrahamic theology and free action in liberal ideology. The economy, its work, its consumption, even its banking, are not inconsistent with a Christian life if achieved by free will. That is to say, contrary to a century-long supposition among theologians and their enemies, belief in a just and loving God does not entail socialism. The Christian gospels and many a Christian theologian attack wealth, surprisingly harshly by the standards of the rest of the world’s religious canon. It is not surprising, therefore, that in the nineteenth century, a bourgeois but Christian Europe invented the idea of socialism. But statism is by no means necessary for a Christian community. I gesture here towards a much longer case made earlier and recently by me and other Christian admirers of commercially tested betterment. The great liberal era was brief, from 1776 to 1848. It established freedom of religion. But freedom is freedom is freedom. A free-willed person should be, in God’s eyes, free from human interference in religion and behavior and business.

Abstract:
AbstractA relatively small number of global Internet giants—Google, Apple, Facebook, Amazon, Microsoft, and Netflix—have come under intense and ongoing fire for precipitating a twin crisis of journalism and the media, destroying democracy, and centralizing control over the Internet. In response, a new wave of Internet regulation is now in the making in one country after another. This chapter agrees that a forceful response to the platforms is overdue but raises concerns that the case against GAFAM + has become orthodoxy, anchored in cherry-picked evidence and a tendency to see these firms as the cause of all perceived woes. I also argue that while attempts to regulate digital platforms by the standards of broadcasting regulation may be politically expedient, this approach rests on superficial analogies. It also ignores the fact that the media industries have developed in close proximity to the vastly larger telecoms, consumer electronics and banking firms since the mid-nineteenth century. The last sections of this chapter offer four principles of structural and behavioural regulation drawn from this history as guides for a new generation of internet regulation today: structural separation (break-ups), line of business restrictions (firewalls), public obligations and public alternatives.
