THE PAST'S LONG SHADOW: A SYSTEMATIC REVIEW AND NETWORK ANALYSIS OF ECONOMIC HISTORY.

In this chapter, network analysis has been used to map out disciplinary areas of research and authorship in economic history. A total of 5,330 peerreviewed articles published in the leading economic history journals has been surveyed. Since 1980, the number of publications has risen and then rapidly accelerated over the last 2 decades. This rise has been fueled by research being conducted within European universities instead of US or UK ones. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
