英文文献作者：Claude Diebolt,Michael Haupert
英文文献摘要：
Economic history is a subset of history. Both economists and historians are trying to tell plausible stories about the past, and they succeed or fail by narrative standards to connect one event to another. Cliometrics has transformed the study of economic history from a narrative to a mathematical format. In the process, cliometricians have contributed to the development of both economics and history by combining theory with quantitative methods, constructing and revising databases, and adding the variable of time to traditional economic theories. This has made it possible to question and reassess earlier findings, thus expanding the frontier of our knowledge of the past and its ability to portend the future. The use of history as a crucible to examine economic theory has deepened our knowledge of how, why and when economic growth and development has and will occur.

经济史是历史的一个子集。经济学家和历史学家都在试图讲述关于过去的貌似可信的故事，他们的成功或失败取决于叙事标准，将一个事件与另一个事件联系起来。历史计量学将经济历史的研究从一种叙述方式转变为一种数学形式。在这一过程中，气象学家通过将理论与定量方法相结合、构建和修订数据库、在传统经济理论中加入时间变量，为经济学和历史学的发展做出了贡献。这使我们有可能对以前的发现提出质疑和重新评估，从而扩大了我们对过去的认识以及它预示未来的能力。利用历史作为检验经济理论的坩埚，加深了我们对经济增长和发展已经发生和将会发生的方式、原因和时间的认识。
