Replication Data for Exploring Modern Bank Penetration: Evidence from the Early 20th-Century Netherlands

The files (R and CSV) contain the replication data for our analysis of a set of 2,355 death duty forms from the Netherlands in 1921, presented in our article “Exploring Modern Bank Penetration in the Netherlands in the 20th Century,” published in Economic History Review. A detailed description of this dataset is available in Ruben Peeters and Amaury de Vicq. “Inheritance Taxation Records in the Netherlands in 1921: The Memories Database” (forthcoming in 2023). The database itself is currently stored on the servers of University of Antwerp as part of the datafiles of the Social History of Finance Reserach Group. The paper also uses two other datasets, Tafel Vbis and the Dutch Banking Database (1880-1940). The Tafel Vbis dataset is described in a published paper by Ruben Peeters and Amaury de Vicq: de Vicq, A., & Peeters, R. (2020). “Introduction to the ‘Tafel v-bis’ Dataset: Death Duty Summary Information for The Netherlands, 1921,” Research Data Journal for the Humanities and Social Sciences, 5(1), 1-19. doi: https://doi.org/10.1163/24523666-bja10007. The Tafel Vbis datafiles are currently stored on the servers of University of Antwerp as part of the datafiles of the Social History of Finance Reserach Group, Odysseus Group. The Dutch Banking Database is described and published by DANS, and should be cited as follows: Vicq, A. de; Gelderblom, Prof. dr. O.; Jonker, Prof. dr. J. (2021): Dutch Banking Database, 1880-1940.
