1910년대 일본제국의회 속기록에 나타난 조선은행(권)의 성격, 팽창과 위험의 연쇄

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to consider the difference and correlation between imperial currency system and colonial currency system by focusing on the process of discussion in the imperial council in 1910s which put forth various discussions with respect to the role and function of Joseon Bank and Joseon Bank notes. In 1910s, Japanese economy enjoyed the boom in the wake of the World War I, along with rapid increase in the amount of money in circulation which arose from the quantitative expansion of economy. In that period, Joseon was also influenced by such trends and experienced robust economy and fast increase in money supply. Particularly, the improving international balance of payments in Joseon has led to the start of discussion that aimed to resolve the problems facing the Joseon Bank note at its incipient phase. However, the preceding studies primarily focused on the problems associated with the supervision right of viceroy(governor-general) and did not fully consider various discussions which were presented within the framework of revised laws. Thus, this study is intended to examine the legal status of Joseon Bank in the empire and relationship between Joseon Bank note and Japanese Bank note by focusing on the discussions on matters other than the issues related to the supervision right of Joseon Bank.
