I work on the history of financial markets and stock exchanges in France since the 19th century. My interest in the history of European Stock Exchanges project results from the following: - the observation that today's financial markets being well integrated, their understanding, organization and regulation require at least a vision at the European level; although organization and regulation were national, integration was certainly important in the 19th c., and we may understand better competition among markets and the impact of different regulations when studying that period. We should also learn from the variety of fates that stock markets suffered in the 20th c. - the methodological conviction that only firm level data for a large number of firms will allow substantial progress on most questions in financial history. - substantial changes in regulation are few, so that their long term observation and the comparison of the regulations of various countries (and exchanges) is key to its understanding. My present projects include: - understanding French exchanges more broadly by including the provincial exchanges (on which many SMEs were listed) into their study; this covers mostly the 1850-1960 period. - developing a conceptual framework for the comparison of the microstructures of stock exchanges and for the quantitative test of their relative efficiency. For more details, look at my PSE website, which includes links to most of my papers.

Hello, fellow historian of financial market

This  blog is created in order to help develop research on the history of European financial markets in the 19th and 20th centuries, especially stock exchanges. It should serve as a tool for the participants of a research project under construction that aims at understanding the functionning of the European financial market as a whole, or as a number of interactions (to be specified) between national (or eventually local) financial markets, in particular a competition among stock exchanges.

Any interested reader is welcome to post comments. All participants in the project should post messages as well as comments.
