Dr Jamieson G. Myles

Jamieson Myles is a Teaching and Research Fellow (maître assistant) at the Department of History, Economics and Society at the University of Geneva. Before that, he was a postdoctoral researcher on the ERC-funded project “Global Correspondent Banking, 1870-2000” (GloCoBank) with a focus on European banking networks. In the past, he has held visiting positions at Harvard University and the Humboldt University of Berlin.

As an associate member of the GloCoBank team and University of Oxford’s Faculty of History, Jamieson is currently pursuing research on the historical relationship between payment clearing/settlement and credit in global correspondent banking, and the effects of Parisian money market reforms in the late 1920s on French banks’ European banking networks. His broader research agenda focuses on the political economy of international trade finance in the first half of the twentieth century. His latest publication is Trade Acceptances, Financial Reform, and the Culture of Commercial Credit in the United States, 1915-1920 (Enterprise & Society, 2023).
