  1. Claude Diebolt & Michael Haupert (2018): Cliometrics
    Cliometrics has been defined and summarized in numerous scholarly articles. They all pretty much start with the obvious, that cliometrics is the application of economic theory and quantitative techniques to study history; and then move on to the origin of the name, the joining of Clio (the muse of history), with metrics ("to measure," or "the art of measurement"), allegedly coined by economist Stanley Reiter while collaborating with economic historians Lance Davis and Jonathan Hughes.

  2. Claude Diebolt & Michael Haupert (2022): Cliometrics and the Future of Economic History
    We give an overview of the origins of the Cliometric revolution, its place within the larger economic history discipline, and what we see as the future of cliometrics and economic history, not as separate disciplines, but as complementary approaches to the study of economic growth in the long run.

  3. Stefano Fenoaltea (2020): Choler: The Failure of the Cliometrics School

  4. Laurent Gauthier (2022): Putting Clio Back in Cliometrics
    This paper makes the argument for renewed cliometrics that could serve history. ... We then propose that economics be considered a methodological auxiliary for understanding, as new cliometrics, not attempting to offer explanations.

  6. Laurent Gauthier (2022): Extending Cliometrics to Ancient History with Complexity
    Traditional cliometrics usually focus on economic data from the modern and contemporary periods, and do not have much to do with ancient history, mostly due to a lack of relevant data. Separately, the field of cliometrics and complexity, by looking at data in the light of complex systems analysis, gives access to a broader range of sources. Concentrating on the distinction between cliometrics and historical economics, we explore the epistemic gap between economics and history, which we reduce to two fundamental differences: the relationship to primary sources, and the presence of a nomothetic framework. ... Redefining cliometrics in that way gives them access to the extensive corpora of historical material that digital humanities have produced. Working closer to primary sources contributes to bridging the epistemic gap between economics and history, and the systematic and explicit way in which cliometrics and complexity tackle data contributes to making historical research more scientific.

  7. Charlotte Chapelain & Claude Diebolt & Michael Haupert (2024): Cliometrics and the Concept of Human Capital
    The role played by human capital in the historical process of economic development is an important issue in cliometrics. ... Portraying a growing debate in cliometrics – the role of human capital in the first stage of the industrialization process in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries in Western Europe – we emphasize that recent cliometric contributions on the issue open up stimulating lines of thought about what human capital is and how it can adequately be measured.

  10. Tobias A. Jopp & Mark Spoerer & Claude Diebolt & Michael Haupert (2024): Cliometrics and the Study of German History
    In this chapter we trace cliometric research on German history. Our narrative is based on a newly constructed database of every publication which (1) is “cliometric” as per our definition and which (2) contributes to the historiography of Germany. ... Section 2 gives a descriptive overview of the database and thereby offers a first, general take on trends in cliometric research on Germany since its beginnings in the early 1950s. In Section 3 we discuss selected topics which found the interest of historians, economists, and scholars of related fields working cliometrically on German history.
