The Effect of Public Policy on Financial Markets and Asset Prices: Three Historical Case Studies

这篇论文着眼于政府政策的重大历史性变化对金融市场和资产价格的影响。经济史文献中有很大的空白，因为很少有研究考察十九世纪末和二十世纪初公共政策重大变化的经济影响。这将包括英国公共政策三大变化的历史案例研究，主要关注引入与养老金和人寿保险产品相关的立法如何影响金融市场。

This thesis looks at the effects of major historical changes in government policy on financial markets and asset prices. There is a substantial gap in the economic history literature in that very few studies have examined the economic effects of major changes in public policy in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. This will consist of historical case studies of three major changes in UK public policy, focusing primarily on how the introduction of legislation in relation to pensions and life assurance products affected financial markets.
