St. Petersburg Stock Exchange: 1865-1917
The St. Petersburg Stock Exchange History Research Project is an on-going research effort by the International Center of Finance to collect price and dividend information on stocks that were listed in the St. Petersburg Stock Exchange (SPSE) during the nineteenth and beginning of the twentieth centuries.
Monthly price data collected by William Geotzmann, Christos Cabolis, and Peter Radchenko for all the securities listed in the St. Petersburg Stock Exchange from January 1865 to July 1914 when the Stock Exchange closed down due to World War I. In addition they collected prices for all the securities that were traded after the SPSE reopened for two months in 1917 before it closed down again for 74 years after the 1917 revolution.
The main purpose of this project is to construct complete series of data for SPSE that will allow the ICF to study long-term trends and performance.
