  • Dutch Coins for Asian Growth VOC-Duiten to Assess Java’S Deep Monetisation and Economic Growth, 1724-1800１
    Dutch Coins for Asian Growth VOC-duiten to Assess Java’s Deep Monetisation and Economic Growth, 1724-1800１ Alberto Feenstra TSEG １１ (３): １２３–１５４ DOI: １０.５１１７/TSEG２０１４.３.FEEN Abstract During the eighteenth century the VOC (Verenigde Oostindische Compagnie) imported over a billion small copper coins (duiten) to Java, which is a remarkable operation for the world’s largest enterprise at that time, since these coins were unfit to pay for the company’s wholesale trade. This article argues that the VOC responded to Java’s specific need for small coins, because people increasingly relied on the market for daily necessities and became less dependent on subsistence farming. The alternative explanations of popula- tion growth, substitution and inflation do not satisfactory explain the increased demand for these copper duiten. Therefore, this article proposes that Java’s economy shifted away from subsistence farming and, particularly after 1750, probably grew. １ Introduction Between 1724 and 1795 the Dutch East India Company (henceforth: VOC) shipped more than 1.1 billion small copper coins of a type called doit (hen- 1 The present article is largely based on my research master thesis, H.A.

  • Paper Contributed to the XIV International Economic History
    Paper contributed to the XIV International Economic History Congress, Helsinki, Finland, 21 to 25 August 2006 Panel 61 Complementary relationships among monies in history MANAGING MULTIPLE CURRENCIES WITH UNITS OF ACCOUNT: NETHERLANDS INDIA 1600-1800 Willem G. Wolters Radboud University Nijmegen, The Netherlands 1. Introduction In his position paper for this workshop Akinobu Kuroda (2005) has pointed out that economists (and economic historians) generally assume that circulating or flowing amounts of money can best be depicted and analyzed by summing up various monies and measure them in their totality, as total amounts, further assuming that they are subject to the workings of laws pertaining to totalities, such as the quantity theory of money. The problem with this assumption is, as Kuroda demonstrates, that by doing this, one ignores the dynamics of different types of currencies circulating side by side. These different types may have different areas of circulation, or may be used in different markets, or by different networks of users. This may pertain to completely different types of money or to monies that are supposed to be denominations of one monetary system. In line with the general topic of this workshop and with Kuroda’s position paper, this paper will look at the phenomenon of multiple currencies in the area dominated by the Dutch East India Company (VOC). The time perspective chosen is a long one, from about 1600 till 1800. The leading question in this paper is the one Kuroda formulated in his position paper: how was compatibility possible among multiple currencies? One specific topic needs closer inspection, and that is the problem of managing different currencies, by using a unit of account.

    CGEH Working Paper Series Coins as gauge for growth VOC- doits to probe Java’s deep monetisation, 1700–1800 Alberto Feenstra, University of Amsterdam November 2013 Working paper no. 49 www.cgeh.nl/working-paper-series/ Coins as gauge for growth VOC- doits to probe Java’s deep monetisation, 1700-1800 Alberto Feenstra, University of Amsterdam Abstract: During the eighteenth century the VOC imported over a billion small copper coins (doits) to Java, which is a remarkable operation for the world’s largest enterprise at that time, since these coins were unfit to pay for the company’s wholesale trade. This paper argues that the VOC responded to Java’s specific need for small coins, because people increasingly relied on the market for daily necessities and became less dependent on subsistence farming. The alternative explanations of population growth, substitution and inflation do not satisfactorily explain the increased demand for these copper doits. Therefore, this paper proposes that Java’s economy underwent a transformation, particularly after 1750. Keywords: Economic History, Money Supply, Economic growth, Indonesia: Java.

G. van der Meer, 's-Gravenhage Drs. A.T. Puister, Wassenaar Dr. H.J. van der Wiel, Gouda E.J.A. van Beek, Oude Ade ISSN 0920-380X TOT GERIEFF VAN INDIA. GELDEXPORT DOOR DE VOC EN DE MUNTPRODUKTIE IN NEDERLAND, 1720-1740 door drs Ar ent Pol VERANTWOORDING * Verschillende auteurs hebben zich bezig gehouden met de geldzendingen naar Azië door de VÖC1. Vrijwel zonder uitzondering baseerden zij zich daarbij op gegevens uit de resoluties van Heren Zeventien. Wat er in feite verzonden is, vindt men echter niet in deze bron, maar in de boekhoudingen van de Kamers in patria en van de kantoren in Azië. Reconstructie van de feitelijke ver­ zendingen uit de boekhoudkundige gegevens is echter nogal tijdrovend en bovendien niet uitvoerbaar voor de hele periode waarin de VOC aktief was (1602-1795), omdat maar een klein deel van deze bronnen bewaard is geble­ ven. Daarentegen beschikt men in de resoluties der Heren Zeventien over een goed toegankelijke en ononderbroken reeks van cijfers. Het is dus volkomen begrijpelijk dat men zich baseert op deze laatste bron. Toch dringt zich de vraag op of het wel terecht is dat dit gebeurt, of er geen grote verschillen in omvang en samenstelling waren tussen hetgeen men besloot te verzenden en hetgeen er in werkelijkheid verzonden werd. En als er verschillen tussen besluit en verzending geconstateerd worden, kan men zich afvragen waarom de Kamers afweken van het besluit van Heren Zeventien.
