“New†and Traditional Approaches to Economic History and Their Interdependence

Author

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to analyze the various new or current approaches to economic history. In so doing I reluctantly use the now widely accepted terms “new†economic, or “econometric,†history considered by some authors as synonymous. In fact, however, there is both a broader and a narrower application of the phrase “new economic history.†In the broader sense, the term embraces the work of the various authors who have in common as their aim theoretically underpinned quantitative economic history; in the narrower, it refers only to what I shall call the “model builders.†Moreover the terminology seems to be in process of change.
