Recent financial and economic crises illustrate spectacularly how the economics profession has not learnt from its past. This important and unique book addresses this problem by demonstrating the power of historical thinking in economic research. Concise chapters guide economics lecturers and their students through the field of economic history, demonstrating the use of historical thinking in economic research, and advising them on how they can actively engage with economic history in their teaching and learning. Blum and Colvin bring together important voices in the field to show readers how they can use their existing economics training to explore different facets of economic history. Each chapter introduces a question or topic, historical context or research method and explores how they can be used in economics scholarship and pedagogy. In a century characterised to date by economic uncertainty, bubbles and crashes, An Economist's Guide to Economic History is essential reading. Matthias Blum and Christopher L. Colvin are economic historians based at Queen's University Belfast, UK. Blum has research interests in measurement, health and wellbeing, and economic development in the long-run. Colvin works on historical banking crises, corporate governance and the economics of religion. Besides teaching and supervising students in economic history, they always make a point of incorporating historical thinking into the other field courses they teach, including econometrics, development economics, industrial organisation and managerial economics. 410 0$aPalgrave Studies in Economic History,$x2662-6500 606 $aEconomics 606 $aLearning, Psychology of 606 $aEconomic history 606 $aEconomics$xHistory 606 $aEconometrics 606 $aEconomics 606 $aInstructional Psychology 606 $aEconomic History 606 $aHistory of Economic Thought and Methodology 606 $aPolitical Economy and Economic Systems 606 $aQuantitative Economics 615 0$aEconomics. 615 0$aLearning, Psychology of. 615 0$aEconomic history. 615 0$aEconomics$xHistory. 615 0$aEconometrics. 615 14$aEconomics. 615 24$aInstructional Psychology. 615 24$aEconomic History. 615 24$aHistory of Economic Thought and Methodology. 615 24$aPolitical Economy and Economic Systems. 615 24$aQuantitative Economics. 676 $a330.9 686 $aJEL.E1 702 $aBlum$b Matthias 702 $aColvin$b Christopher L. 801 0$bMiFhGG 801 1$bMiFhGG 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910303455703321 996 $aAn Economist?s Guide to Economic History$92526391 997 $aUNINA
