Micro rules and macro outcomes: the impact of micro structure on the efficiency of security exchanges, London, New York, and Paris, 1800-1914

Article Abstract:

History played an important role in the development of the three leading security exchanges of the world at the height of financial capitalism in the early 19th century. Moreover, the security exchanges of New York, London, and Paris developed differently from each other. Their different paths of development were influenced by the original definition of property rights in the market places. Banks and bankers influenced the development of the New York stock exchange while clearing facilities played a vital role in the development of the stock exchanges in London and Paris.
