Bonds or credits? Risk management and sovereign lending in the Euromarkets
Distribution of bank offices in fascist Italy
This paper examines the geographical distribution of bank offices in fascist Italy between 1927 and 1936, a period of critical banking consolidation, marked by the Great Depression and culminating in the 1936 banking law. We contribute to the ongoing debate between the Italian banking history literature—which emphasizes the complex interplay of economic, technical, and political factors—and the empirical economics literature, claiming the distrib…
The London money market and non-British bank lending during the first globalisation
This study examines the relationship between the London money market (LMM) and the credit provision of non-British overseas banks in peripheral economies during the first wave of globalisation. Using monthly data between 1889 and 1913, we find a positive relationship between the amount of credit authorised by the German Brasilianische Bank für Deutschland in Brazil and the spread between the London market and floating rate. Our results suggest th…
The wheel of life? The effect of the abolition of the foundling wheel in nineteenth-century Italy
This paper examines the effects of abolishing the foundling wheel ( ruota ) on reproductive decision-making in post-unitary Italy (1863–1882). The ruota was a turning wheel placed on a wall outside foundling homes across Catholic Europe, which offered a means for anonymous infant abandonment. As infant abandonment rates and foundling mortality soared in the nineteenth century, countries began dismantling these systems. Italy mirrored this trend, …
The establishment of banking supervision in Italy
This paper describes the establishment of banking supervision in Italy and its operation between 1926 and 1936, using a narrative approach based on previously classified documents from the Bank of Italy’s Historical Archives. This case is particularly interesting from the international perspective, Italy having been the first European country to assign substantial supervision to its central bank, a few years before the 1929 crisis. Notwithstandin…
Competition, over-branching and bank failures during the Great Depression
This paper employs quantitative and qualitative methods to examine the link between banking competition, branching and financial distress during the interwar period in Europe, focusing on Italy as a case study. Regression analysis and a systematic review of printed sources show that banks experiencing distress had opened scores of branches and operated in areas with harsher competition. Poor managerial choices led banks to have higher operational…
