Spain (1876-1913) 2022 Access copy available to the general public Unrestricted Spain never formally joined the classical gold standard, partly because its aspiration for gold convertibility did not match the financing needs of the Treasury. This paper illustrates how preferences for convertibility, that is, for fixed exchange rates, were shared by the parliamentary representatives of its manufacturing provinces because of their dependency on imported inputs (coal and cotton). However, to explain their preference for currency stability, trade policy must be considered. Without the high tariffs that the cotton industry enjoyed thorough the whole period and the steel industry from 1891 onwards, the renouncement of a pro competitive depreciating peseta might not have been so clear-cut. Thus, beyond the Spanish case, this paper supports the theoretical assumption that the input-output structure of a productive sector influences its currency stance, while reinforcing the argument that trade policy plays a key role in the understanding of currency politics. info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/AEI/PGC2018-094941 info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/DGA/S44-20R info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess by http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/es/ 0.2 2022 BUSINESS 153 / 154 = 0.994 2022 Q4 T3 HISTORY OF SOCIAL SCIENCES 32 / 34 = 0.941 2022 Q4 T3 HISTORY 87 / 100 = 0.87 2022 Q4 T3 ECONOMICS 378 / 380 = 0.995 2022 Q4 T3 0.135 2022 History 2022 Q2 History and Philosophy of Science 2022 Q3 0.4 2022 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Fillat, Carmen Universidad de Zaragoza (orcid)0000-0002-9076-3743 Serrano Sanz, Jose Maria Universidad de Zaragoza (orcid)0000-0001-7303-3346 4014 225 Universidad de Zaragoza Dpto.
