THE SUPPLY AND DEMAND OF Economic History: RECENT TRENDS IN THE JOURNAL OF Economic History
The Journal of Economic History, 2002Co-Authors: Robert WhaplesAbstract:A decade has passed since I surveyed the first 50 years of the Journal of Economic History . Whaples, “Quantitative History.” This note picks up that story by documenting changes in the “supply” of Economic History since 1990—the topics of the J OURNAL'S articles, who has had articles published in its pages, and how rankings of Economic-History programs are reflected by recent publications. In addition, I use data on articles published in the J OURNAL to examine the “demand” for Economic History—which articles have been cited the most often and what types of articles are most likely to be cited.

Economic History and Economic Development: New Economic History in Retrospect and Prospect
Handbook of Cliometrics, 2021Co-Authors: Peter TeminAbstract:I argue in this paper for more interaction between Economic History and Economic development. Both subfields study Economic development; the difference is that Economic History focuses on high-wage countries while Economic development focuses on low-wage economies. My argument is based on recent research by Robert Allen, Joachim Voth and their colleagues. Voth demonstrated that Western Europe became a high-wage economy in the fourteenth century, using the European Marriage Pattern stimulated by the effects of the Black Death. This created Economic conditions that led eventually to the Industrial Revolution in the eighteenth century. Allen found that the Industrial Revolution resulted from high wages and low power costs. He showed that the technology of industrialization was adapted to these factor prices and is not profitable in low-wage economies. The cross-over to Economic development suggests that demography affects destiny now as in the past, and that lessons from Economic History can inform current policy decisions. This argument is framed by a description of the origins of the New Economic History, also known as Cliometrics, and a non-random survey of recent research emphasizing the emerging methodology of the New Economic History.

Recent Literature in American Economic History
2016Co-Authors: James H. Soltow, Ralph L. Andreano, Stanley L. EngermanAbstract:The purpose of this essay is to review the principal developments in the scholarship of American Economic History since the early 1960s. First, a word about the general nature of the subject may be useful. Since Economic History is not regarded as a separate discipline in the departmental organization of American universities, its practioners in this country are usually identified academically as either historians or economists. However, this "dual" discipline does have its own professional organization, the Economic History Association (founded in 1940), and a scholarly forum in the Journal of Economic History. In addition, several subdisciplines of Economic History have their own organizations or journals Business History Review, Agricultural History , and Labor History. (Since labor History was thoroughly explored in a recent issue, this article will not deal with the subject. See James R. Wason, "American Workers and American Studies." American Studies International, XIII (Winter 1974) 10-36. Two other journals, Explorations in Economic History (formerly Explorations in Entrepreneurial History) (1963) and Research in Economic History: An Annual Compilation of Research (1976) are under the editorial direction of academics although distributed by commercial publishers. In addition, periodicals in general History (including those oriented toward state and local History), Economics, and other social sciences often publish articles of interest to Economic historians.

the cambridge Economic History of the united states
2000Co-Authors: Stanley L. Engerman, Robert E. GallmanAbstract:In the past several decades there has been a significant increase in our knowledge of the Economic History of the United States. This three-volume History has been designed to take full account of new knowledge in the subject, while at the same time offering a comprehensive survey of the History of Economic activity and change in the United States. This first volume surveys the Economic History of British North America, including Canada and the Caribbean, and of the early United States, from early settlement by Europeans to the end of the eighteenth century. The book includes chapters on the Economic History of Native Americans (to 1860), and also on the European and African backgrounds to colonization. Subsequent chapters cover the settlement and growth of the colonies, including special surveys of the northern colonies, the southern colonies, and the West Indies (to 1850). Other chapters discuss British mercantilist policies and the American colonies; and the American Revolution, the constitution, and Economic developments through 1800. Volumes II and III will cover, respectively, the Economic History of the nineteenth century and the twentieth century.

Economic History and game theory
Handbook of Game Theory With Economic Applications, 2005Co-Authors: Avner GreifAbstract:This paper surveys the small, yet growing, literature that uses game theory for Economic History analysis. It elaborates on the promise and challenge of applying game theory to Economic History and presents the approaches taken in conducting such an application. Most of the essay, however, is devoted to studies in Economic History that use game theory as their main analytical framework. Studies are presented in a way that highlights the range of potential topics in Economic History that can be and have been enriched by a game-theoretical analysis.

Economic History and Game Theory: A Survey
SSRN Electronic Journal, 1998Co-Authors: Avner GreifAbstract:This paper surveys the small, yet growing, literature that employs game theory for Economic History analysis. It elaborates on the promise and challenge of integrating game theoretical and Economic History analyses and presents the approaches taken in conducting such an integration. Most of the essay, however, is devoted to presenting studies in Economic History that utilize game theory as their main analytical framework. Studies are presented based on their substance to highlight the range of potential topics in Economic History that can be and had been enriched through a game theoretical analysis.
