This paper delves into the functioning of credit markets during the late fourteenth century in Tyrol, using a notarial register from a rural area and applying a social network analysis approach. Particular focus is directed toward the individuals involved in the credit market within the village of Laas. The findings indicate that credit transactions, typically backed by collaterals, predominantly circulated within the confines of the local community and its immediate vicinity, spanning roughly a 50-kilometer radius, as interregional capital markets were relatively underdeveloped. Both the notary and the village officeholders played critical roles in organizing and mediating issues arising from asymmetric information within the credit market.

摘要

This paper delves into the functioning of credit markets during the late fourteenth century in Tyrol, using a notarial register from a rural area and applying a social network analysis approach. Particular focus is directed toward the individuals involved in the credit market within the village of Laas. The findings indicate that credit transactions, typically backed by collaterals, predominantly circulated within the confines of the local community and its immediate vicinity, spanning roughly a 50-kilometer radius, as interregional capital markets were relatively underdeveloped. Both the notary and the village officeholders played critical roles in organizing and mediating issues arising from asymmetric information within the credit market.
