Returns on investments during the colonial era: The case of Congo / Frans Buelens
Titre : Returns on investments during the colonial era: The case of Congo Type de document : document électronique Auteurs : Frans Buelens, Auteur ; Stefaan MARYSSE, Auteur Editeur : Antwerp : Institute of Development Policy and Management, University of Antwerp Année de publication : 2006 Collection : IOB Discussion Paper num. no. 2006/07 Importance : 32 p. Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : colonialisme/investissements/marché financier Note de contenu : Before the First World War a global wave of foreign direct investment materialised. Belgium participated in it on a global scale but after the War a shift towards the Belgian
colony (Congo) was observed. With regard to these colonial investments, it is commonly argued that higher (expected) profit rates were a strong incentive, although others propose that the colonial powers actually lost money on their overseas possessions.
We measure ex-post performance in terms of the time weighted rate of return by making use of a new database on Congo stocks. We demonstrate that, as far as the Congo sample
is concerned in comparison with the Belgian sample, returns
on Congo stocks were much higher, at least until country risk
became a reality (1955-1960).Returns on investments during the colonial era: The case of Congo [document électronique] / Frans Buelens, Auteur ; Stefaan MARYSSE, Auteur . - Antwerp : Institute of Development Policy and Management, University of Antwerp, 2006 . - 32 p.. - (IOB Discussion Paper; no. 2006/07) .
