Professor Olivier Accominotti

My research interests are in the history of money and finance, especially the international propagation of financial crises, the determinants of global capital flows, the political economy of exchange rate policies and the effect of political institutions on countries’ access to capital markets. My current projects explore the causes of international financial stability during the Great Depression, the evolution of foreign exchange markets and speculation in the twentieth century, and the structure of the global financial system and money market before the First World War.
