Abstract

In this article, using new estimates of the size of the UK's capital market, we examine financial development and investor protection laws in Britain c.1900 to test the influential law and finance hypothesis. Our evidence suggests that there was not a close correlation between financial development and investor protection laws c.1900 and that the size of the UK's share market is a puzzle given the paucity of statutory investor protection. To illustrate that Britain was not unique in its approach to investor protection in this era, we examine investor protection laws across legal families c.1900.

1900年英国的法律与金融

在这篇文章中，使用对英国资本市场规模的新估计，我们考察了1900年英国的金融发展和投资者保护法，以检验有影响力的法律和金融假说。我们的证据表明，1900年的金融发展和投资者保护法之间没有密切的相关性，鉴于缺乏法定投资者保护，英国股市的规模是一个谜。为了说明英国在这个时代的投资者保护方法并非独一无二，我们研究了1900年左右法律家族的投资者保护法。

期刊介绍： Financial History Review is the international forum for all scholars with interests in the development of banking, finance, and monetary matters. Its editors deliberately seek to embrace the broadest approach to publishing research findings within this growing historical specialism. Articles address all aspects of financial and monetary history, including technical and theoretical approaches, those derived from cultural and social perspectives and the interrelations between politics and finance. These presentations of current research are complemented by somewhat shorter pieces, specifically conceived as aids to research. Each issue contains a substantial review section, and every complete volume contains an annual bibliography.
