Abstracts of both working papers and accepted papers are published. Kevin Hoover, Professor of Economics and Philosophy at Duke University is serving as editor. Work related to all periods and to any schools of economic thought are welcome, as is work that situates economics in wider intellectual and cultural contexts or relates it to other disciplines. Work related to the history of closely cognate disciplines (e.g., statistics with economic applications or economic sociology) is also accepted. Essentially, any work that touches the history of economics as a discipline or that would be of interest to scholars working in such an area is encouraged.
