What was the market value of daimler during the german hyperinflation?

Research output: Contribution to journalArticleOtherpeer-review

Abstract

The claim of Bresciani-Turroni that Daimler's equity capital reached the equivalent of only 327 of their cars during the German hyperinflation has spread widely through the hyperinflation literature. There are two critical errors in Bresciani-Turroni's calculation, and the minimum market value of Daimler in November 1922 was far lower, at around 94 cars. (JEL E31, G12)
