Eivind Merok og Nils August Andresen, «Back to the Future – the Marginal Utility of History in Economics, Nordic Journal of Political Economy, Vol. 33, 2007, 1-25

Abstract:

«Economics and economic history share many fundamental research problems and have a rich shared intellectual history. Still, works by economic historians are rarely read or referenced in economics. In this essay we attempt to identify the cost of this negligence. In particular, we argue that a restrictive understanding of the economic research programme excludes available evidence and precludes analysis of complex situational constraints on economic decision-making.»
