Crisis atlas / URY / 1915–1921
Uruguay, 1915–1921
One crisis episode: distinct crisis years merged across gaps of up to two non-crisis years. Types, source agreement, and macro context are drawn from the union of five primary chronologies.
Crisis years in this episode
Every distinct (year, type) event inside the 1915–1921 window, with the chronologies flagging it and the count of agreeing sources. Start-year sources (GMD, JST) mark only the first year, so agreement falls in the continuation years.

Laeven-Valencia banking-crisis detail
Laeven-Valencia reports fiscal cost and output loss for systemic banking crises only. This episode involves sovereign debt and currency crises, for which no comparable cost figures exist in the source chronologies.
Macro context, 1908–1928
Seven years either side of the episode. Each panel has its own scale; the crisis window is shaded. Only indicators with data for Uruguay in this window are shown. Bank credit growth (year over year in total loans) is available for the 18 Jordà-Schularick-Taylor advanced economies.

How each source dates this episode
The chronologies disagree on start years and durations. This table is generated from the event rows, not curated: it lists, per crisis type, which source flags which years inside the window.
