THE SOCIAL SAVING ATTRIBUTABLE TO THE RAILROADS IN NORTH CENTRAL NEW ENGLAND, 1839-1869.
Abstract
The current emphasis on quantitative analysis as an approach in writing economic history is known as the "new economic history," "econometric history," and "cliometrics." The first well-known use of this current approach was the paper by Alfred_H. Conrad and John R. Meyer, "The Economics of Slavery in the Ante-Bellum South," presented at the joint meeting of the National Bureau of Economic Research and the Economic History Association in September 1957.1 Several other studies using a similar emphasis on quantitative measurements have followed, including articles and books on steam railroads by Robert William Pogel, Paul H. Cootner, and .Albert Eishlow.
