Abstract

This chapter presents a network-based bibliometric analysis of economic history, focusing on the field’s intellectual structure, institutional dynamics, and evolving research themes and methodologies. Using data from the five leading journals in the field—The Journal of Economic History, Explorations in Economic History, Economic History Review, European Review of Economic History, and Cliometrica—we map collaboration and citation networks from 2000 to 2024. The findings highlight the continued dominance of Anglo-American and Western European institutions, with emerging contributions from Spain, Italy, and the Netherlands. We also document interdisciplinary ties to economics, finance, demography, and other social sciences, and the enduring influence of seminal scholars alongside a rising generation of researchers. Finally, we identify a clear methodological shift from largely descriptive quantitative analyses to more sophisticated techniques, particularly panel data models and quasi-experimental designs. This study contributes to a deeper understanding of economic history’s evolution, highlighting both its intellectual richness and persistent institutional imbalances.
