Research Projects

  • Royal African Company and Efficiency of Its Management
    Nagasawa Serika
    This study examined agency problems held by the Royal African Company of England in the seventeenth century. While the company's factors/agents resided in West Africa and the West Indies, as well as the slave ship's captains sailing in the Middle Passage, they received instructions from the headquarters in London and attended their business on behalf of the company. Since the long-distance communication over the Atlantic Ocean accompanied asymmetric information, and conflicts of interest often arose in organizations, that made the company keep a constant watch for frauds. This study focused on some fraudulent cases that occurred among the company's transatlantic network, and clarified that the Royal African Company faced difficult situations in which it failed to control its far-flung employees., Japan Society for the Promotion of Science, Grants-in-Aid for Scientific Research Grant-in-Aid for Young Scientists (B), 2017/04 -2020/03, Principal investigator, Grant-in-Aid for Young Scientists (B), Ryutsu Keizai University
