Abstract
Scholars historically believed that the market price data reported for Amsterdam markets were spot prices prior to 1747. Neal (The rise of financial capitalism: international capital markets in the Age of Reason. Cambridge University Press, Cambridge, 1990) provided econometric evidence that the prices were time. A newly constructed dataset, containing a much higher frequency of observations from Amsterdam markets, allows us to resolve this dispute. We provide conclusive evidence that the prices report were actually spot, as originally believed.
