The study’s subject

The author’s aim is to describe the functional changes of German capital markets and stock exchanges. First he describes characteristics of German capital markets as a place of balancing supply and demand. Then, further submarkets are analyzed in their function (for example the meaning of credit transactions and interest rates for investment activities of the economy, or by means of fixed interest securities and equity securities documented capital procurement).

Starting point of the investigation is the period until 1924, a period without regulation activities of the state on the capital trade. This period was followed by increased requirements on capital due to the first World War and the inflation. The description closed with the consequences of political influence on processes of capital markets. The author tries to show the rise of the German capital market, it’s functionality and the restriction as an effect of the first World War (the state’s extremely high need for money), and the following hyperinflation using long time series data.
