Tiivistelmä: | Using evidence from 18th century Paris, the authors explore how financial intermediaries were notaries, and after examining their role in asset markets, the authors develop a more general model of intermediaries' behavior and then test the model using a rich set of data from Paris. Institutions for disseminating information insured that intermediaries provided high quality service, and such institutions were central to the growth of asset markets in pre-industrial Europe. |
