Cliometrics
Application of econometrics and other formal methods to the study of history / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Cliometrics (/ˌklaɪ.oʊəˈmɛt.rɪks/, also /ˌkliːoʊˈmɛt.rɪks/), sometimes called 'new economic history'[1] or 'econometric history',[2] is the systematic application of economic theory, econometric techniques, and other formal or mathematical methods to the study of history (especially social and economic history).[3] It is a quantitative approach to economic history (as opposed to qualitative or ethnographic).[4]
There has been a revival in 'new economic history' since the late 1990s.[5][6]
