摘要
嘉庆道光年间,银钱比价由原来的银贱钱贵转为银贵钱贱,学者们对这种转变的原因众说纷纭。本文利用数据对银贵钱贱的原因进行了实证分析,结果显示在众多因素中,只有人口对银钱比价存在显著影响,即人口的迅速增加是银贵钱贱的主要原因。针对银贵钱贱,政府采取的货币政策主要是减铸铜钱、禁银出洋和禁止鸦片进口。
It is controversial during the Jia Qing ＆ Dao Guang era that Silver changed from depreciating to appreciating against Copper in the currency. This paper conducted an empirical analysis on this phenomenon and found that rapid population increase was a significant factor. In order to deal with this phenomenon, the government adopted the monetary policy of reducing supply of Copper in the currency system and banned the export of Silver and the import of opium.
