A laminated ceramic electronic component, for example, monolithic ceramic capacitor,
in which the delamination does not occur during baking and having superior thermal
shock and moisture load resistance characteristics is provided. A conductive paste,
used with advantage to form an internal electrode of the laminated ceramic electronic
component, and a laminated ceramic electronic component using the conductive paste
is provided. The conductive paste is composed of a conductive powder which is primarily
Ni, an organic vehicle, a compound A containing at least one of Mg and Ca and which
is an organic acid metal salt, oxide powder, metal organic complex salt and/or
an alkoxide, and a compound B, having a hydrolyzable reactive group containing
at least one of Ti and Zr, which adheres to the surface of the conductive powder.
