About Benjamin Chabot

Professor Chabot's main research focus is in economic history and finance with an emphasis on financial market integration, asset pricing and the link between financial markets and economic growth. Currently, Professor Chabot is collecting a sample of stocks traded in the United States and London between 1865 and 1925. These data are sampled every 28 days and include the bid and ask or quotation of every stock listed or traded over-the-counter in New York, London, Boston, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Chicago, San Francisco, Louisville, Cincinnati, St. Louis and Charleston. His research investigates the links between capital market integration, efficiency, and economic growth. Topics include: the timing of world capital market integration and its effects upon economic growth, the links between regulation, taxes, and financial market efficiency, long run changes in risk premiums, historical asset pricing anomalies, and the link between financial development and economic output.
