摘要: 本文介绍了中国利率史课题组的数据库建设工作, 就数据库的资料采集、整理方案等作简要说明。对数据库的统计分析表明, 资料选取不同、借贷交易的背景和形态不同, 其所对应的利率都有所不同,统计特征上呈现出较大差别, 这既表明了现有文献对中国利率史的种种认识误区之来源, 也证明了系统的数据库对历史研究的重要性。通过对利率史数据库的统计分析, 本文还初步探讨了清初至二十世纪前期各类型利率的空间分布、长期趋势等问题。

Abstract: This article provides a basic explanation of the construction, data collection, and design of the historical data base of Chinese interest rates. Based on differences in the analysis of statistical indicators, the selection of data, and background and forms of borrowing and lending, interest rates varied greatly, and the article shows these differences explain the comparatively large differences in the analysis of historical interest rates. The article makes clear the origins of a variety of misconceptions in literatures about China’s for interest rate history, and proves the importance of the statistical database for historical research. Through an analysis of the historical statistics in this data base, the article provides an initial examination of interest rates from the early Qing to the twentieth century, the long term trends in interest rates, and other issues.
