The Risk Premium Differential in Japanese-Era Taiwan and its Effect

Author

  • Kelly B. Olds

Abstract

During the Japanese era, there was a lower risk premium in northern Taiwanese capital markets than in southern markets. Evidence suggests this was due to superior informal institutions in the north. As a result, northern property rights were better defined, northerners were less dependent on formal credit markets and landless farmers who had less access to formal markets were at a smaller disadvantage in the north than in the south.
