	Cliometrics - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Cliometrics refers to the systematic use of economic theory and econometrics techniques to study economic history.
		Cliometrics, originated in 1958 with the work of Alfred Conrad and John Meyer with the publication of "The Economics of Slavery in the Ante-Bellum South," in the Journal of Political Economy (4).
		Cliometrics is necessary because the inclusion of history is necessary in formulating solid economic theory.

		"Cliometrics" is economics in the service of history and history in the service of economics.
		The field of cliometrics evolved in the 1960s from research interests in several fields; most notably economics, history, and statistics, but drawing also on demography, political science, and sociology.
		Cliometrics is an area of research that owes its existence to the support of the National Science Foundation.

	Welcome
		Cliometrics is an approach to historical research which combines explicit models with formal statistical techniques to analyze painstakingly collected and refined data, often very large quantities of data.
		Conrad and Meyer found the returns to slavery to have been at least as high as the returns to other forms of investment; slavery was profitable and therefore would not have collapsed of its own weight, contrary to the conventional wisdom.
		Since that time, cliometrics has come to be the dominant paradigm in economic history in North America, where now the greatest numbers of economic historians have their graduate training in economics, rather than in history.

	Robert Fogel - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		He is best known as the advocate of quantitative methods in history, known as cliometrics, which is applying the methods of Econometrics towards the various periods of time in the past.
		Fogel's first major study involving cliometrics was his 1964 book Railroads and American Economic Growth: Essays in Econometric History, in which Fogel tried to re-create using quantitative methods what the U.S. economy might have been like in 1890 had there no railroads.
		Fogel's conclusion was that had there been no railroads in the 19th century, the U.S. economy in 1890 would have been only 25% smaller then it was in fact.

	The Claremont Institute - Wages of Sin
		Using cliometrics, the authors revealed slavery to be a profitable and ef- ficient labor system, demonstrating that economic growth and technological progress were possible even in a deeply immoral system.
		Although ignoring Abraham Lincoln and the free soil movement's campaign against slavery in the territories, Fogel and his cliometricians have nonetheless dealt a body blow to the idea of a natural limit of slavery expansion, as well as to the idea that the problem of slavery would be solved by inexorable forces of progressive history.
		The advent of cliometrics into American historical writing began with the publication in 1958 in the Journal of Political Economy of "The Economics of Slavery in the Antebellum South," by Alfred H. Conrad and John R. Meyer.

		The term “cliometrics” reflects both the object and the method of this study: Clio is the Greek Muse of history, and “metric” indicates the field’s scientific approach.
		“The word ‘cliometrics’ was coined back in the 1950s,” says Margo, “and it refers to statistical and economic studies of history.” Cliometrics has enabled economists to rethink faulty economic theories by giving them the tools to spot and ignore “transient phenomena” in historical data.
		The Cliometrics Conference, which is funded by the National Science Foundation, has been meeting annually since 1985 to present research and facilitate interaction between older and younger members of the profession.

		The term was originally coined by Jonathan R.T. Hughes and Stanley Reiter in 1960 and refers to Clio, who was the muse of history and heroic poetry in Greek mythology.
		A group to encourage and further the study of cliometrics, The Cliometric Society, was founded in 1983.
		In 1993, Robert Fogel and Douglass North were awarded the Bank of Sweden Nobel Memorial Prize in Economics partly for their work in establishing cliometrics, in particular "for having renewed research in economic history by applying economic theory and quantitative methods in order to explain economic and institutional change".

		'Cliometrics' was the ironic name given to the 'new economic history', or 'quantitative economic history' developed in the 1950s and 1960s, principally in the US, but also in the UK and elsewhere in Europe.
		However, cliometrics still has critics who claim that there is nothing new under the Sun.

		The cliometric revolution actually began in the mid-1960s and was particularly ugly because most economic historians were either historians or economists who had very little connection to mathematical techniques or statistics.
		Cliometrics began to gain a following and become better known when Douglass North and William Parker became the editors of the Journal of Economic History in 1960.
		The Cliometrics Meetings began to be held around this time at Purdue University and are still held there annually.While the cliometric revolution was successful, it was almost too much so with its use of modeling and econometrics.

	BOOKS OF THE TIMES - New York Times
		''Cliometrics can effectively operate only by suppressing the individual - by reducing its subject-matter to a collectivity of human data in which the facts of humanity have real difficulty in surviving.
		Even those cliometricians who recognize (as some do not) the importance of detail cannot by their methods operate with this detail unless they abstract particularity from it.
		Cliometrics therefore serves the history of mankind quite admirably when that history is seen as one of concepts and structures, but it is markedly less useful when that history turns to the story of people.''

		Basically, cliometrics is the intersection of economics and history.
		An example of a much-covered subject in cliometrics is the impact of the tariff on the economy of the South.
		Many historians ignore it, but the conclusion of the cliometric research in the area sugests that the tariff hurt the South much more than generally believed.

		As a founding contributor to the new economics history, or cliometrics, for which he was awarded a Nobel Prize in economics, he has pioneered the application of mainstream neoclassical economics to history.
		In short, without exploring this in depth, whether it be by virtue of its scope of enquiry or its archival methods in soliciting evidence, the new economic history has been particularly vulnerable to attracting criticism from others as well as critical self-reflection, especially by comparison to the encroachment of economics into other social sciences.
		This is the relationship between the newer approach and Douglass North, one of the founding fathers of cliometrics and Nobel prize winner as such for his efforts, quite apart from his being credited with having coined the expression “new economic history”, Goldin (1995, p.

	Background
		Since the talent is there, and the critical mass is there, we believe the time is ripe for a conference to bring these scattered scholars together.
		We think the chance to meet in one place, to exchange views and discuss each others’ work, would galvanize efforts in the field of German cliometrics.
		We are particularly encouraging the presentation of papers by graduate students and recent PhDs, but every age group will be represented among those presenting papers.
