Prof. Kim Oosterlinck walks us through the strange world of financial (and alternative asset) markets in occupied France. We begin by looking at the economic costs of the Nazi occupation. We then turn to discuss the array of measures that were put in place to force the financial markets to respond in the way the new regime required. How did government debt and stock markets respond? How did the freer (and grey/black) markets in other asset classes such as artworks behave by comparison?
