The New Economic History

The New Economic History is a research approach that uses economic theories, data analysis, and quantitative methods to better understand historical events and societal changes. Instead of relying solely on narratives or qualitative accounts, it emphasizes factual evidence, statistical tools, and economic models to explore topics like growth, industrialization, and inequality over time. This approach helps researchers uncover patterns and causes behind economic development in different periods and regions, providing a clearer, more precise picture of how economic forces have shaped history.
