New
Book Series
Studies in
Economic History
New at
Springer
Aims and Scope
This series from Springer provides a platform for works in economic history that
truly integrate economics and history. Books on a wide range of related topics are
welcomed and encouraged, including those in macro-economic history, financial
history, labor history, industrial history, agricultural history, the history of institutions and organizations, spatial economic history, law and economic history,
political economic history, historical demography, and environmental history.
Economic history studies have greatly developed over the past several decades
through application of economics and econometrics. Particularly in recent years, a
variety of new economic theories and sophisticated econometric techniques—
including game theory, spatial economics, and generalized method of moment
(GMM)—have been introduced for the great benefit of economic historians and the
research community.
At the same time, a good economic history study should contribute more than just
an application of economics and econometrics to past data. It raises novel research
questions, proposes a new view of history, and/or provides rich documentation.
This series is intended to integrate data analysis, close examination of archival
works, and application of theoretical frameworks to offer new insights and even
provide opportunities to rethink theories.
The purview of this new Springer series is truly global, encompassing all nations
and areas of the world as well as all eras from ancient times to the present. The
editorial board, who are internationally renowned leaders among economic
historians, carefully evaluate and judge each manuscript, referring to reports from
expert reviewers.
