报告摘要:

Britain and France set up their concessions in Shanghai of China in 1845. Accordingly, British common law and French civil law were respectively transplanted to the concessions. This ‘one city, two systems’ provides a quasi-experiment that compares the common law to the civil law in affecting financial development. We find that, even in this oriental city, the British concession outperformed the French concession in banking and stock market. The British superiority in finance became substantially greater after the concession jurisdiction was formally established in 1869, and shrank after the jurisdiction was taken over by China in 1926. As a whole, the rule of (common) law played a pivotal role in Shanghai’s rise from a humble town to an Asian financial center in the late 19th century.
