  World War II was the key development in the history of economics of the 20th century. It was a scientific war that secured the United States as an academic and geopolitical power, receiving a host of European scholars fleeing from authoritarian regimes, and it brought economists in contact to applied mathematicians and statisticians in war projects, with operations research becoming the t…

• Abstract

  On the one hand, macroeconometrics and the Cowles Commission (CC) approach have been judiciously analyzed by historians of economics. On the other hand, microeconometrics, applied economic fields and experiments outside the laboratory have just recently started to be dealt with in the history of economic thought community. As a consequence, the history of experiments in econometrics, up t…

  Experiments Outside the Laboratory as a history of Econometrics, BP.DR

• Abstract

  The emergence and development of Mathematical Economics has been a subject of great interest recently among historians of economics, in particular that produced in the US. The recent period has also witnessed a surge of historical accounts of major economics departments such as those at the University of Chicago, University of Cambridge and MIT. Understanding the spread of Mathematical Ec…

• Abstract

  The traditional representation of the evolution of macroeconomics is that in the 1970s Robert Lucas and the new classical macroeconomists reconfigured the field and buried the "Keynesian consensus" that had dominated macroeconomics since the 1940s. This implied that a more liberal (pro-free market) approach came to dominate the area, coinciding with the search for the microfoundations. Th…

• Abstract

  Following the footsteps of Epstein (1987) and Morgan (1990), the history of econometrics has focused on the history of the Cowles Commission (CC) approach. It comes as no surprise that the initial efforts of the history of econometrics, thus, were closely related to the history of macroeconomics and mathematical economics. Renamed members of the CC were leading researchers in the field of…

• Abstract

  In this project I follow the literature of the history of economics after World War II. It develops further my research agenda that I initiated during my PhD and consolidated in Brazil with a research fellowship from CNPq. My goal here is to analyze historical issues related to how macroeconomists observe the economy through model building and manipulating. The specific focus will be on t…
