cliometrics

Cliometrics is the application of economic analysis and quantitative methods, such as statistical data and economic models, to study historical events and trends. It involves using numbers and data to better understand the past, like analyzing economic factors behind historical developments, social changes, or policies. By combining history with economics, cliometrics aims to provide more precise and evidence-based explanations of how and why things happened in history, moving beyond traditional narrative approaches to include rigorous, data-driven insights.
