With a focus on customs, laws, and organisational structures, this book reveals the Italian origins of marine insurance, and tracks the spread of underwriting practices and institutions in Europe and America through the early modern era. With contributions from eleven leading researchers from seven countries, the book examines key institutional developments in the history of marine insurance. The authors discuss its invention in Italy, and its evolution from private to corporate structures, assessing the causes and impacts of various state interventions. Amsterdam and Antwerp are analysed as one-time key centres of underwriting, as is the emergence and maturity of marine insurance in London. The book evaluates an experiment in corporate underwriting in Cadiz, and the development of insurance institutionsin the United States, before applying the metrics of underwriting to discuss commerce raiding in the Atlantic up to the nineteenth century. | 出版日期 | Book 2016 | 关键词 | Asia; competition; cooperation; development; institutions; insurance; investment; Italy; organization; scienc | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1057/9781137411389 | isbn_ebook | 978-1-137-41138-9Series ISSN 2662-5164 Series E-ISSN 2662-5172 | issn_series | 2662-5164 | copyright | The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s) 2016 |
