Credit rationing and crowding out during the Industrial Revolution: Evidence from Hoare's Bank, 1702-1862

Crowding-out during the British Industrial Revolution has long been one of the leadingexplanations for slow growth during the Industrial Revolution, but little empirical evidence exists to support it. We argue that examinations of interest rates are fundamentally misguided, and that the eighteenth- and early nineteenth-century private loan market balanced through quantity rationing. Using a unique set of observations on lending volume at a London goldsmith bank, Hoare s, we document the impact of wartime financing on private credit markets. We conclude that there is considerable evidence that government borrowing, especially during wartime, crowded out private credit.

Cultura Associativa e Estratégias de Organização no Rio de Janeiro Imperial:Associações de Imigrantes Portugueses na Corte (1860-1889)

Este estudo que ora se apresenta tem como finalidade mais ampla dar continuidade ao processo de expansão da pesquisa sobre o fenómeno associativo no Brasil, especialmente no Rio de Janeiro da segunda metade do século XIX. O trabalho analisa, em particular, as associações beneficentes de imigrantes portugueses na corte imperial, tendo como base documental os registros de criação ou reformulação dos estatutos das associações beneficentes de imigrantes criadas na cidade do Rio de Janeiro. A ênfase recaiu no tratamento das associações beneficentes (de ajuda mútua, socorros mútuos), entendidas como manifestações de solidariedades horizontais, características do período de crise dos mecanismos culturais e políticos de dominação senhorial
