Investment Strategies in 16th Century Holland
| Based on new research, the paper provides insight into the investment strategies of households and families. To this end we make use of tax registers to study the development of asset management of heads of households over a period of 50 years. This approach allows us to track individual households during different stages in the life cycle. Thus we expect to contribute to questions about to what degree households and families opted for different investment strategies at different stages during the life cycle, and also to what degree external elements like war, famine and (long-term) economic cycles had an effect on asset management.
