Quantitative Economic History

"The chapters in this book use the analytical tools and theoretical framework of economics to interpret quantitative historical evidence, offering new ways to approach historical issues and suggesting entirely new types of evidence outside conventional archives. Rosenbloom has gathered together seven essays from leading quantitative economic historians, illustrating the breadth of scope and continued importance of quantitative economic history." "This book will be of great interest to students and researchers engaged with U.S. Economic and British Demographic History, as well as quantitative economists in general."--Jacket.
