For this purpose, we clarify the tendency of settlement by Hope & Co. in the bank, by analyzing the bank's account books. According to previous studies. the Bank of Amsterdam seems to have a negligible role in the financial market because it neither issued notes nor operated as a bill broking. However, we should not underestimate the efficient clearing function of the bank and should consider the formation of a multilateral payment mechanism in Europe. Amsterdam's merchant bankers held accounts in the bank; after the mid-seventeenth century, they provided widely accept credit suitable for world trade. Bills of exchange flexibly drawn on the Bank of Amsterdam placed the city as a center for international payments. An analysis of the bank's account books revealed that Hope & Co. frequently moved large funds along with other merchant bankers. This tendency of settlement by Hope & Co. suggests that the Bank of Amsterdam played a role for the foundation of their business in the eighteenth century.}, pages = {35--52}, title = {アムステルダム銀行におけるマーチャント・バンカーの決済傾向 : ホープ商会の事例}, volume = {61}, year = {2013} }
