Volume 21 of Research in Economic History is a substantial
contribution in several respects. Its heft reflects the continuing
increase in quality submissions to this series, which invites
(although it does not require) authors to take advantage of less
stringent space limitations than is typically true in a journal
article.
The papers offer regional diversity: two papers with principal
focus on England, one on Germany, one on Australia, and three on
the United States. There are some commonalities in themes: we have
three papers on 1931, three papers that have something to do with
banks, two on urban economic history, and two on wage stickiness,
albeit in different countries and addressing labor markets several
centuries apart. What can be said of all of these inquiries,
however, is that each involves the careful consideration of
quantitative and qualitative data within a well articulated
theoretical framework. And in almost every case, we have original
analysis of primary source material.
It's a pleasure in this volume to publish work of scholars at all
stages of their careers. We have contributions ranging from those
of recently minted Ph.D.s to those of distinguished senior
scholars. Each of these articles is written with care, polish, and
often passion. Academic disciplines flourish - and economic history
is no exception -- when scholars immerse themselves in their
subjects and combine this with commitments to logic and evidence,
detail, and clarity of exposition. The consequences are the
fascinating papers and great scholarship evident here.
We look forward to continuing to publish innovative, well written
and carefully considered contributions to economichistory,
providing a niche which complements outlets such as the Journal of
Economic History, Explorations in Economic History, and the
Economic History Review. Potential contributors are urged to
contact the editor for information on submission requirements.
