JOURNAL OPEN ACCESSThis paper attempts to clarify the history of the enquete survey of 1939 conducted by the National Economoc Council on professional oraganisations and cartel problems in France. The enquete results have never been examined by historians, for it was believed that the documents had been lost during the second world war. This article is an analysis of these documents rediscovered and deposited recently in the National Archives in Paris. The first section of the paper provides an account of the establishment of the Council in 1925 and its organisational characteristics with special reference to a section which conducted the enquete survey. Initially the Council did not have an idea of taking a survey; it simply wanted to prepare a report on the organisation of French industries and compulsory cartels for the Ministry of National Economy. This stance was vigorously criticised by those who were against the principle of organised economy. Their demand that the Council should collect various opinions from business circles led eveatually to the 1939 enquete survey. This process is the subject of section 2. The content of the survey is examined in section 3, while the final section concerns its results. According to those results, the attitudes of French professional groups may be classified into three types. The first is a liberalist group of advocates for economic liberalism. Almost all professional groups of French industries are included in this type. The second is a group having tendencies of both economic liberalism and state corporatism. Leather, shoemaking and flour milling industries are examples of this type. The third type is a minority group who favoured state intervention. A case in point is the Chamber of Handicraftsmen in Alsace. Finally, it is emphasised that even before the war against Germany in 1939 there existed in France a firm belief in economic liberalism.View full abstractDownload PDF (3413K) -

JOURNAL OPEN ACCESSThe aim of this paper is to examine the functions of local trade associations(dogyo kumiai) in relation to the development of weaving industries in prewar Japan. With this investigation, six economic functions can be identifield. 1 Inspections of manufactured goods by the trade association enabled it to secure quality control of the products, which, it was expected, eventually led to an expansion of their markets. 2 Marketing research conducted by the association was instrumental in developing new products, introducing a new technology, and exaploiting new market opportunities by giving information about overseas and domestic markets to its member clothiers. 3 Exhibitions and contests were held by the association. While they helped the member clothiers learn technical information and expertise, association encouraged them to compete with each othe. 4 Advertisements by the association were a means to develop the markests, which had a feed-back on the technology. 5 Educational facilities and industrial experimental stations were established by the association when new technologies were being diffused to industrialdistricts. 6 Financing small-and medium-sized members of the association and establishing cooperatives were another means of promoting the development of the industrial district. It seems that many local trade associations accomplished these positive functions for the development of local industries in the interwar period.View full abstractDownload PDF (3045K) -

JOURNAL OPEN ACCESSThis paper attempts to estimate the degree of regional integration of finacial markets in 19th century Germany. German industrialization in the 19th century has often been described as a combination of regional phenomena. In other words, many recent works on the German economic history stressed the "regional character" of the German industrialization, and suggested that any geographical scale, like a "Reich", larger than the states(or leagues of the states) was not necessary for the industrialization of a given region. Yet, according to the standard economic theory, an interregional liquidity of capital is recognized as a sufficient factor for the progression of industrialization, or the economic development. If we find an integration of regional financial markets in 19th century Germany by looking at state-level statistics, then we will have to confirm the(traditional) view that there was a positive relation between market integration and degree of industrialization in Germany. From this point of view, we conducted two kinds of regression analysis. The results seem to allow us to conclude that the regional, divided finacial markets in 19th century Germany experienced a process towards integration. At the same time, they also indicate some regional differences in the market integration process.View full abstractDownload PDF (1910K) -

JOURNAL OPEN ACCESSThe purpose of this paper is to present a new view of the decline of Spain. Historians who were influenced by Earl J. HAMILTON have argued that the economic downfall of Spain in the seventeenth century was caused by the fall of the American trade. This argument, however, fails to explain incipient changes that Castilian economy had experienced by the later sixteenth century. These changes deprived North Castile of the economic leadership in the kingdom of Castile and occasioned the subsequent predominance of the Southern Castile in it. Then it is necesarry to make much account of the interaction between the North Castilian economy and the expansion of the American trade, in the sixteenth century. The Spanish Habsburg monarchy, counting on the big foreign merchants, encouraged the American trade. But this policy disrupted the 'traditional'economic basis of Northen Castile, and in the long run, eroded the basis of the whole Castilian economy. Castilian wool exports from North Castilian ports to the Low Countries expanded in the early fifteenth centry. The heyday of these exports was in the first half of the sixteenth century. The main exporters of Castilian wool were North Castilian merchants of the Consulado of Burgos. They employed Basque and othe North Castillian ships to send their cargoes. But after the 1570s, when the Dutch rebellion took place, shipsments to the Low Countries began to decline rapidly, and the wool exports from Alicante to Italy increased. Thus while in the second half of the sixteenth century the American trade from Seville, a South Castilian port, began to flourish, North Castilian wool trade to the Low Countries, the chief support of the 'traditional' economic basis of Northern Castile, declined.View full abstractDownload PDF (1876K) -
