The depth and breadth of capitalism at the Cape

The Economic History Review, EarlyView.
Abstract Limited liability company legislation was introduced to the Cape Colony in 1861. An amendment in 1892 led to wider adoption, expanding and diversifying the capital market. Using novel data from the Cape Joint Stock Archive between 1892 and 1902, this paper examines who invested, where capital flowed, and how these patterns shaped firm outcomes

Private money and money market integration: The role of payments infrastructure in nineteenth‐century Switzerland

The Economic History Review, EarlyView.
Abstract Using newly collected discount rate data for six Swiss cities from 1846 to 1893, we find no evidence of increasing integration during a 30‐year period of lightly regulated free banking. We attribute this to two structural issues: banks had incentives to ward off competitors by protecting their local monopolies or forming cartels, and there was

The aesthetic sublime of megaproject structures: A framework and a research agenda

European Management Review, EarlyView.
Abstract The physical structures of megaprojects—such as mega‐canals, metros, railway lines, bridges, tunnels, and iconic opera houses—hold a profound capacity to generate aesthetic experiences with enduring societal impact. Yet, research on megaprojects has predominantly focused on functionality and economic rationale with aesthetics being pushed to ...

Fatigue Crack Modeling of Railheads Using a Nonlinear Cohesive Zone Model

Fatigue &Fracture of Engineering Materials &Structures, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Subsurface fatigue crack growth within railheads can be deleterious leading to catastrophic failures in rails. This study aims to model the fatigue crack growth originating at the subsurface level within railheads. Towards that end, a finite element modeling approach is utilized wherein complex crack growth is explicitly modeled using a ...
