Economics Is Not a Man's Field
This article examines the first gender reckoning in economics, focusing on the establishment and early activities of the Committee on the Status of Women in the Economics Profession (CSWEP). Drawing on materials in the hitherto closed archives of the AEA, we explore how CSWEP's mission to improve the representation and status of women in economics was linked to how economists understood women's role in the economy. The article concludes by reflec…
Women and Economics
This essay is the introduction to the 2022 supplemental issue of History of Political Economy, titled Women and Economics: New Historical Perspectives. We first reflect on the historiography of economics and the relative absence of women and gender in the mainstream of the field. Three approaches to the history of women and economics are delineated: making visible women economists, outlining the impact of including women in a broader narrative ab…
The Empirical Economist's Toolkit
While historians of economics have noted the transition toward empirical work in economics since the 1970s, less understood is the shift toward "quasi-experimental" methods in applied microeconomics. Joshua D. Angrist and Jörn-Steffen Pischke trumpet the wide application of these methods as a "credibility revolution" in econometrics that has finally provided persuasive answers to a diverse set of questions. Particularly influential in the applied…
Sorting Charles Tiebout
A substantial and diverse literature in economics traces its intellectual roots to Charles Tiebout's 1956 article, "The Pure Theory of Local Expenditure." Its present recognition-frequently attributed to originating the idea of "voting with your feet"-contrasts sharply with its obscurity during Tiebout's academic career, which was tragically cut short by his passing in 1968. Penned as a qualification to Paul Samuelson's "pure theory," the article…
Money Is a Sterile Thing
In the history of economic thought, Martin Luther is frequently identified with medieval Scholastic doctrine. His belief that "money is sterile" is offered in support of this assessment. However, this obscures the fact that Luther rarely invokes this line of reasoning in his writings on usury and that his argument for its immorality is not dependent upon the proposition. These facts, which differentiate Luther from the Scholastic writers, are con…
