Between 1776 and 1920, the US Congress designed more than 200 distinct securities and stated the maximum amount of each that the Treasury could sell. Between 1917 and 1939, Congress gradually delegated all decisions about designing US debt instruments to the Treasury. In 1939, Congress began imposing a limit on the par value of total federal debt outstanding. By summing Congressional borrowing authorizations outstanding each year for each bond, we construct a time series of implied federal debt limits before 1939.

1939年之前美国债务限制的简要历史[经济科学]

在1776年至1920年之间,美国国会设计了200多种不同的证券,并说明了美国财政部可以出售的每种证券的最大数量。在1917年至1939年之间,国会逐渐将所有有关设计美国债务工具的决定权下放给了财政部。1939年,国会开始对未偿联邦债务总额的面值施加限制。通过汇总每年每笔债券的国会未偿还借款授权,我们构建了1939年之前的隐含联邦债务限额的时间序列。
