  • The State and the finance sector

    Open AccessD T Merrett, David MerrettARTICLEAustralian Economic History Review2002

    This paper seeks to explain the motivation for the growth of regulation of the Australian financial sector and banking in particular. It will be argued that the pace and direction of the growth of the regulatory apparatus from the 1930s until the 1980s was set by concerns of governments about macro–economic issues rather than issues affecting the financial sector per se. The drivers of regulatory change over the last two decades of the century re…

  • The Development of Large Scale Enterprise in Australia, 1910–64

    Ville, Simon Ville et al.ARTICLEBusiness History2000Citada por: 4

    This essay explores the development of large scale enterprise in Australia, an economy in which resource industries were unusually important and with a very small domestic market. Using asset size as a yardstick, the authors construct a series of the 100 largest firms operating in the years 1910, 1930, 1952 and 1964. These lists allow the identification of firms by industry and whether they were foreign-owned. Cross-country comparisons are also m…

  • Work in the Financial Services Industry and Worker Monitoring

    D T Merrett, David Merrett et al.ARTICLEBusiness History2000Citada por: 7

    This paper explores a part of the systems used by the British-owned Union Bank of Australia in managing its labour force in the 1920s. The particular concerns addressed here focus on the opportunities presented to workers to ‘cheat’ arising from the nature of the tasks undertaken, which meant that both output and effort were difficult to observe, and from the large amount of securities and cash in the branch. Workers could behave opportunisticall…

  • Capital Markets and Capital Formation in Australia, 1945–1990

    Open AccessD T Merrett, David MerrettARTICLEAustralian Economic History Review1998

    This survey article continues the author's examination of the interaction between domestic capital markets and capital formation by studying the 45 years after the end of World War II. (Part 1 appeared in AEHR 37 (3) 1997.) The significant rise and the sustained increase in the ratio of gross domestic capital formation to gross domestic product (GDP) posed challenges to local deposit taking institutions and capital markets to mobilize savings. Th…

  • Capital Markets and Capital Formation In Australia, 1890–1945

    Open AccessD T Merrett, David MerrettARTICLEAustralian Economic History Review1997

    This survey article examines the interaction between the domestic capital markets and capital formation in Australia from the 1890s up to the end of World War II. The disenchantment of the City of London with Australian securities in the 1890s opened a window for the development of domestic capital markets. It was the demands of the government for funds, especially during both wars, that transformed the scale and character of local markets. Local…

  • Global Reach by Australian Banks

    D T Merrett, David MerrettARTICLEBusiness History1995Citada por: 5

    This paper argues that the bulk of international funds transfers to and from Australia from the 1830s until the 1960s were handled through correspondent banking relationships rather than internalised by multinational banks. The pervasiveness and longevity of this market-based contractual mode is explained with reference to the theory of transaction costs, agency and contracting. An examination of the evolution and practice of correspondent relati…
