概要 / Abstract:
Taking clear hints from Frank King’s writing on the Hongkong & Shanghai Banking Corporation, I will explore the ‘even keel’ in a quantitative manner, using the flow of funds data from consecutive Midterm Reports 半季報告 of the Yokohama Specie Bank between 1893 and 1908. I demonstrate that nineteenth century bankers were very well aware of both silver risk and ways of hedging exchange risk. Next, using network visualization, I explain how hedging technologies translated into the organization of ‘flow-of-funds’ on the level of an evolving branch network (especially after the Russo-Japanese War). Last, I attempt to show how attention to micro-organization connects to macro-economic questions, not in the least to the debate on fixed exchange rate regimes.
