Economic history
Economic history is the study of
economic change, and of economic phenomena in the past. Economic history is undertaken using both
historical methods and the application of
economic theory.
Practitioners and advocates of the first approach, which was for a long time dominant in the
United Kingdom, generally regarded economic history as being either an independent discipline or a subfield of
history. Practitioners of the second approach, which is more influential in the
United States and rapidly extending worldwide, usually regard economic history as a subfield of economics. The term
cliometrics (a reference to
Clio, the
Muse of history) is used to describe the application of
econometric techniques to the study of economic history. In France, economic theory and demographics was early integrated into mainstream historiography due to the large inpact of the
Annales School of history from the 1920s and onwards.
