The consolidation of public banking in Spain
This article contributes to the literature analysing the role of public banks in crises. Taking the case of Spain, it analyses the behaviour of the public bank (ICO) between 1971 and 2015, specifically during two crises: the crisis of the 1970s, when Spain was an economically backward country coming out of a dictatorship; and that of 2008–13, by which time it had integrated into the international economy. Public credit underwent sweeping privatiz…
Caracterización de una elite bancaria en España a mediados del siglo xix
Aunque las experiencias de instituciones bancarias en España arrancaron tempranamente (Banco de San Carlos, 1782), la extensión de la banca privada fue más tardía, ya que una regulación restrictiva dificultó su despliegue hasta 1856. Nuestro propósito es esbozar una caracterización de la elite bancaria surgida entonces, identificando el origen, la profesión y los vínculos con la política de los consejeros de bancos emisores provinciales y del Ban…
Presentación. Las elites financieras en España
Este dosier analiza la formación de una elite financiera en España durante un tiempo crucial de cambios institucionales, económicos y sociales. En las décadas centrales del siglo XIX se fraguaron recomposiciones en los círculos de poder del país que no han sido abordadas hasta ahora desde el enfoque que aquí se propone: una investigación que, a partir de casos de estudio plurales, identifica a los actores financieros de forma extensa y ofrece int…
Reputation and the Palmer Rule in the Origins of Banking in Spain
This paper investigates the reasons why provincial issuing banks in Spain maintained high reserves in the 19 th century and the effects this had. The introduction of banknotes into the economy meant that convertibility had to be guaranteed. If convertibility was respected, this gave banks a good reputation and made them reliable. The Palmer Rule was a control mechanism stating that a well-managed bank should keep one-third of its liabilities as c…
Human capital and financial capital in the Atlantic space
Spanish emigration to the Americas during the last two decades of the eighteenth century and the first half of the nineteenth century gave rise to the figure of the “indiano” or “americano” in Spain – those men who returned to the peninsula with huge fortunes. In this article, we look at the roles played by indianos in Catalonia's financial development. Our research indicates that returnees not only made important investments in the Catalan econo…
Centrality and investment strategies at the beginning of industrialisation in mid-nineteenth-century Catalonia
We apply social networks analysis to the study of an important database on investment and companies' share in the Catalonia (Spain) of the nineteenth century. In contrast with most of the existing related literature, usually addressing power relationships across administration boards, we focus on the structure of interactions among individual investors and firms. Centrality analysis uncovers interesting roles played by certain economic sectors (e…
Las exportaciones de España a Cuba (1891-1913)
Este artículo analiza la estructura comercial española con Cuba en los años previos e inmediatamente posteriores a la independencia cubana en 1898. Si bien en términos agregados el fin de la colonia supone la desaparición de importantes vínculos comerciales bilaterales, el análisis de algunas categorías de productos pone de relieve el mantenimiento e incluso incremento de la exportación española a Cuba de algunos de estos productos. La hipótesis …
