This two-year project grant from the National Science Foundation's Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program will fund the creation of new datasets and research examining the impact of political control on financial institutions and the economy during the Progressive Era from the 1890s to the 1930s. The $158,438 award made on September 1, 2022 to California State University, Los Angeles will support building a dataset on business and bank foundation and failure rates by state and quarter, as well as aggregate liabilities and assets. A second dataset will track the structure of financial regulation across U.S. states. This information will be merged with existing political and economic data to advance understanding of relationships between politics and economics during this period, and how regulatory independence may affect financial stability. The project aims to inform current policy debates on optimal financial regulatory design through a historical analysis of changing regulatory models at the state level during the Progressive Era.
