英文文献:How Cliometrics has Infiltrated Economics – and Helped to Improve the Discipline-历史计量学是如何渗入经济学,并帮助改善这门学科的

英文文献摘要:
Fenoaltea (2019) argues that cliometricians have failed as economists, historians , and economic historians. His argument is based on what he sees as a failure to appreciate the fine art of data gathering and what he perceives to be the lax attitude towards measurement. He embodies these complaints in the history of the creation of national income statistics, and the unforgiveable sin of economic historians who attempt to take those measurements backward in time. He concludes his polemic with his dream, that "cliometricians can take history and the humanities as seriously as we take economics, and lead us to the promised land." (2019: 12) We are unsure of exactly what the "promised land" might be, but argue that any recent issue of Cliometrica, and any article in the Handbook of Cliometrics will provide ample evidence that cliometrics is alive and well, takes both history and economics very seriously, and does so with a careful and critical eye toward context (clio) and measurement (metrics). Herewith we defend the accomplishments and current robust health of cliometrics.
Fenoaltea(2019)认为,气象学家作为经济学家、历史学家和经济历史学家已经失败了。他的论点是基于他所认为的未能欣赏数据收集的艺术,以及他所认为的对测量的松懈态度。他把这些抱怨体现在国民收入统计的创造历史中,也体现在试图追溯过去的经济历史学家不可原谅的罪过中。他以自己的梦想结束了他的辩论,“气象学家可以像我们对待经济学一样认真对待历史和人文学科,并将我们引向乐土。”(2019: 12)我们不确定什么会“应许之地”,但认为任何最近Cliometrica问题,和任何文章计量历史学的手册将提供充足的证据表明计量历史学是活着,认真看待历史和经济学,和这样做仔细和批判的眼光对上下文(克莱奥)和测量(指标)。在此,我们为历史计量学的成就和目前强健的健康状况辩护。
