Whereas it is usually taken for granted that econometrics rose during
the twentieth century, this book shows how econometric ideas
emerged and spread in France between 1830 and 1930 and
progressively became institutionalized. Philippe Le Gall explains how
econometric ideas developed from and were inspired by
philosophical worldviews and scientific paradigms from the
nineteenth century.
Le Gall explores the methodology of French authors like
Cournot, Briaune and Regnault and demonstrates how they were
influenced by the natural sciences of their time, rooted as they were
in a worldview where natural order and laws played a central role. As
an organized community emerged at the start of the twentieth
century, Le Gall shows how these econometric ideas intermingled
with new worldviews associated with the complexity of the
economy.
“This engaging and most scholarly book by Philippe Le Gall
reshapes the historical narrative in distinctive ways.” – Mary S.
Morgan
This book is essential reading for postgraduate students and
researchers in the history of economic thought, economic
methodology and the history of science as well as econometricians at
all levels.
