Abstract
La literatura internacional sobre contabilidad ferroviaria del siglo XIX es crítica, aportando evidencias, acerca de la fiabilidad de las cifras que suministraron las compañías ferroviarias. En España las investigaciones histórico-económicas han aceptado dicha falta de fiabilidad de forma generalizada. El objetivo de este trabajo es cuantificar, a través de la persistencia del resultado contable de la mayor compañía española del siglo XIX –que fue la ferroviaria MZA-, la existencia de calidad en la información contable. Los resultados demuestran que la persistencia fue muy significativa en el periodo posterior a la crisis económica de 1864-1868.
The international literature has criticized and demonstrated the lack of reliability of the figures which were reported by Railway Companies during the 19th Century. In Spain, the historic-economic research has accepted that lack of reliability in general. The aim of this paper is to quantify, through the persistence of earnings, the existence of quality in the largest Spanish company of the 19th Century -the MZA Railroad Company-. The results show that the persistence was highly significant after the economic crisis of 1864-1864.
