Abstract: The literature has highlighted the importance of various factors in explaining the success or failure of cooperatives based on the study of multiple historical cases. The aim of this paper is to identify the determinants of the performance of Spanish consumer cooperatives using a sample of 14 societies between 1898 and 1935. The results show that their successful performance was driven by a combination of favourable economic contexts and internal factors such as greater experience, management skills, and lower dependence on external financial resources.
