  • Currency Vs. Banking in the Financial Crisis of 1931∗
    Crisis? What Crisis? Currency vs. Banking in the Financial Crisis of 1931∗ Albrecht Ritschl Samad Sarferaz LSE and CEPR ETH Zurich Dept. of Economic History KOF Swiss Economic Institute Houghton Street Weinbergstrasse 35 London WC2A 2AE, UK 8092 Zurich, Switzerland Phone: +44-20-7795-6482 Phone: +41-44-632-4683 E-mail: [email protected] E-mail: [email protected] December 2, 2010 Abstract This paper examines the role of currency and banking in the German financial crisis of 1931 for both Germany and the U.S. We specify a structural dynamic factor model to identify financial and monetary factors separately for each of the two economies. In contrast to conventional wisdom, we find only a minor role for monetary policy transmission, while financial distress was important. Monetary or financial crisis prop- agation from the U.S. to Germany was weak. Instead there is evidence of substantial crisis transmission from Germany to the U.S. via the banking channel. We also find major real effects of the 1931 crisis on both economies, again transmitted via the bank- ing channel. Financial distress itself responded more strongly to real than to monetary factors. Results confirm Bernanke's (1983) conjecture that a non-monetary financial channel of crisis propagation was operative in the Great Depression. JEL: N12, N13, E37, E47, C53 Keywords: Great Depression, banking channel, 1931 financial crisis, international business cycle transmission, factor analysis ∗This research was funded by Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft under Collaborative Research Project SFB 649. Samad Sarferaz acknowledges financial support by the European Science Foundation via the Globalizing Europe Economic History Network and the Marie Curie Research Training Networks, and thanks the University of Zurich and the European University Institute in Florence for their hospitality.

  • The Stock Market Crash of 1929
    THE STOCK MARKET CRASH OF 1929 by Stephen G. Cecchetti ∗ January 1992 (forthcoming in the New Palgrave Dictionary of Money and Finance From the open on Wednesday October 23, 1929 to the close on Tuesday October 29, 1929 the New York Stock Exchange lost over twenty-five percent of its value. In that single week, the Dow Jones Industrial Average (see Pierce [1982]) fell from 326.51 to 230.07, a drop of 29.5%, while the Standard and Poor’s composite portfolio of ninety stocks (see Schwert [1990]) fell from 28.27 to 20.43, a fall of 27.8%. As large as these drops were, they must be placed in the proper perspective. First, at the end of 1929, stock prices were less than twenty percent below their beginning of year level, and well above the level at the beginning of 1928. In addition, much of the October 1929 loss was regained by mid-April of 1930. But, nevertheless, it is important to keep in mind that the October 1929 crash was just one part of the sustained decline that began on September 3, 1929, when the Dow Jones Industrials closed at 381.17, and continued through the end of February of 1933, when Dow closed at 50.16 – a cumulative decline of over 85%. While share prices certainly fell in late October 1929, and trading was disorderly in many respects, the market decline was more gradual and much longer than the term ‘crash’ implies. Finally, it is worth noting that the Dow Jones Industrial Average did not reach the nominal level of the September 1929 peak again until the mid-1950s.

  • The 1931 Financial Crisis in Austria and Hungary
    Doctoral Thesis Flóra Macher THE 1931 FINANCIAL CRISIS IN AUSTRIA AND HUNGARY A CRITICAL REASSESSMENT A thesis submitted to the Department of Economic History of the London School of Economics and Political Science for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy September 2017 1 DECLARATION OF AUTHORSHIP I, Flóra Macher, certify that the thesis I have presented for examination for the MPhil/PhD degree of the London School of Economics and Political Science is solely my own work other than where I have clearly indicated that it is the work of others (in which case the extent of any work carried out jointly by me and any other person is clearly identified in it). The copyright of this thesis rests with the author. Quotation from it is permitted, provided that full acknowledgement is made. This thesis may not be reproduced without my prior written consent. I warrant that this authorisation does not, to the best of my belief, infringe the rights of any third party. I declare that my thesis consists of 53,469 words. 2 ABSTRACT In this thesis, I re-investigate the 1931 financial crisis in Austria and Hungary with the help of new data compiled from primary sources. Our knowledge about the causes of these calamities is much less extensive than about the German crisis. The aim of my research is to provide for a better understanding of the Central European crises of 1931. Chapter 1 examines the role of international and domestic forces behind the crisis in Austria. Two newly constructed micro-level datasets demonstrate that a domestic factor, exposure to weakly performing industrial enterprises, was essential in accounting for the insolvency and possibly also for the illiquidity of the four universal banks that came under distress between 1925 and 1931.

J. M^c•:. Eastern Red-winged Blackbird Returns.--At my station in Gary, Indiana, I have banded two hundred and thirty-eight Eastern Red-winged Blackbirds, as follows' 1926, sixty-two' 1927, one hundred and thirty- eight' 1928, twenty-three' 1929, fifteen. All of these birds were banded m my own yard, which is 125 feet by 300 feet, located here in the city. There is a swale, or swamp, surrounding the lower end of the yard, which, up to 1930, had not been drained. During the year 1930 a sewer was put through it, and it is now dry, and Blackbirds, while they come to my feeding station, do not breed here as formerly.
