What began as a lecture on the field's evolution is turning into a paper. An animation mapping the affiliations of over 3,000 authors published in the EHR over the last century (Latin America is the most underrepresented region).

![The first is a working paper by three economists—Elliott Ash, Daniel Chen, and Suresh Naidu—from 2017.

It presents a powerful and discrete account of the transmission of ideas across social networks through textual analysis.

Reading this paper was exciting, but looking through the tools and tricks and sources also made me feel like someone in a science fiction movie encountering an artifact sent back from a few decades in the future. The extraordinary quality of data that economists can obtain is almost unimaginable to humanists. It is not just a million or so circuit court votes and 300,000 opinions but also the institutional capacity to file Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests to get the exact years of attendance for every judge who went to the Manne program and the disciplinary capacity to casually use relatively new methods like word embeddings without spending pages slowly, gently analogizing them to some “simpler” concept. Humanists wandering through algorithms seem to have to justify using an algorithm by first identifying which Borges short story—whether about the Map of the Empire, the analytical language of John Wilkins, or Pierre Menard and the Quijote—it most closely resembles.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:643p6z4ydk2xnwv77maa6eec/bafkreidctt57eseamimgzctkjtu2ly2vmsugcjwcrargerohe5bljg7jie)

This essay from @bschmidt.bsky.social on how history rejected computational methods, & so "quantitative history" ended up in the social sciences, & "digital humanities" in literature, with no historians doing computational work, is fascinating, & worth a read: dhdebates.gc.cuny.edu/read/computa...

Dos 10, 8 não existiam. 1 desses a referência era o mesmo journal e outro era um artigo cuja suposta autora era a colega. Revistas médias e pequenas vão sumir com tanto ruído.

The Economic History Review has published a virtual issue collecting the contributions of 2025 Nobel Laureate Joel Mokyr in the journal. I had the privilege of writing the introductory essay. You can read it here, together with Joel's articles and reviews.

Fogel to Mokyr: "Economics must deal with economic history. For economics to work without economic history is like an evolutionary biologist without paleontology. If you don't have paleontology, you just missed 99,5% of all the species that existed." www.youtube.com/watch?v=__0s...

{r5r} good news: now it's possible to adjust car speeds in #r5rstats to simulate different scenarios of traffic congestion and road closures. This feature is available in the dev version and will be included in the next release:

We often think of transportation infrastructure as a key driver of economic growth. And that’s true. But it also has a big environmental footprint -- one that’s often underestimated.

The past really sticks.
Even after 4 generations, your great-grandfather’s economic status still largely shapes your own.
👉 33% persistence across time for whites
👉 But racial inequality is the key driver

My new paper on Imperial Brazil (1824–89). New price series, maritime freight, internal trade, exchange rates, and ToT. Real wages and GDP per capita show that growth est. are biased by the available price indices, which overstate inflation by 57–270%. Correction resolves the BR low-growth paradox.
