| Outline of Research at the Start |
The project inquires into the management strategy (経営制度) of the Yokohama Specie Bank (hereafter: YSB) from the early 20th century to the late 1930s. Concretely, it employs techniques from Social Network Analysis (SNA) to map the flow-of-funds (資金循環) within the bank’s evolving branch network.
