Colonial Monetary Standards Contrasted: Evidence from the Seven Years' War
通过七年战争期间不同殖民地的货币实验，对比了 fiduciary 标准（信用纸币）与纯金银本位在战争融资中的效果，发现发行纸币并配合税收回收的殖民地通胀更温和。
The Seven Years' War warrants a reinterpretation of the colonial paper-money experiment. Pennsylvania, New York, and South Carolina with fiduciary standards issued large quantities of paper money to finance the war accompanied by only moderate increases in the rate of inflation. Massachusetts with its pure specie standard financed the war with interest-bearing debt and fared little better, if not a little worse. Success of war finance in Pennsylvania, New York, and South Carolina can be attributed to paper-money issues that financed government expenditures and were matched by imposition of tax labilities for early redemption.
