Abstract

This research examines the central banks of interwar Europe through the lens of statistics. It focuses particularly on how the rise of economic and statistical expertise simultaneously supported the existing goals of central banks to retain national autonomy and the tenets of liberal internationalism espoused by the League of Nations. The institutionalised efforts to improve quantitative research culminated in the 1928 Conference of Central Bank Statisticians, where delegates envisioned creating new channels of cooperation based on standardised terminology and a centralised information bureau. By framing central banks within the historiographies of statistics and interwar internationalism, this article details the confluence of factors that shaped a new dependence on expertise.

数字的稳定性：欧洲各国央行、专业知识和统计数据的使用

这项研究通过统计学的视角考察了两次世界大战期间欧洲的中央银行。它特别关注经济和统计专业知识的兴起如何同时支持各国央行保持国家自治的现有目标和国际联盟倡导的自由国际主义原则。改进定量研究的制度化努力在1928年的中央银行统计学家会议上达到了顶峰，代表们设想在标准化术语和中央信息局的基础上创建新的合作渠道。通过将中央银行置于统计和两次世界大战国际主义的历史范围内，本文详细介绍了形成对专业知识新依赖的因素的汇合。

期刊介绍： Contemporary European History covers the history of Eastern and Western Europe, including the United Kingdom, from 1918 to the present. By combining a wide geographical compass with a relatively short time span, the journal achieves both range and depth in its coverage. It is open to all forms of historical inquiry - including cultural, economic, international, political and social approaches - and welcomes comparative analysis. One issue per year explores a broad theme under the guidance of a guest editor. The journal regularly features contributions from scholars outside the Anglophone community and acts as a channel of communication between European historians throughout the continent and beyond it.
