Title : The Role of Cliometrics in History and Economics
Author(s) : Claude Diebolt, Michael Haupert
Abstract : How did cliometrics in particular, and economic history in general, arrive at this crossroads, where it is at once considered to be a dying discipline and one that is spreading through the economics discipline as a whole? To understand the current status and future prospects of economic history, it is necessary to understand its past.
