@gregorigv.bsky.social & @victormgomezblanco.bsky.social use natural language processing and network analysis of economic history articles to identify a shift towards a more global, data-driven, and methodologically advanced field.

Chart showing the methodological evolution of economic history. The share of qualitative studies has drastically decreased since 2000 and quantitative studies using panel data and causal analysis have increased. Economic history is increasingly able to provide us with evidence and inform pressing questions at the intersection of research and real-world decision-making. This column uses natural language processing and network analysis of articles from five leading journals over the past 25 years to identify a shift towards a more global, data-driven, and methodologically advanced field. It maps changing thematic priorities, institutional collaborations, and author networks, highlighting both a generational turnover and growing geographical diversity. It also reveals a strong move towards causal identification-based econometrics alongside a sharp decline in qualitative research, signalling both convergence and trade-offs in the discipline’s integration with mainstream economics.
