The project brings together new and established researchers in the field of cliometrics at three annual Cliometrics Conferences in 2009, 2010, and 2011. "Cliometrics" is economics in the service of history and history in the service of economics. The field of cliometrics evolved in the 1960s from convergent research interests in several fields; most notably economics, history, and statistics, but drawing also on demography, political science, sociology, anthropology, archaeology, and other social sciences. Recently, the field has become more interdisciplinary, as researchers have used methodologies and data from anatomy, climatology, and biology to enhance their cliometrics research. A major task on the cliometrics agenda has been to develop more and better historical data with which to study the evolution and structural dynamics of national economies and the international economies. An understanding of the historical record is crucial for the development of meaningful economic policy today and in the future. In this project, the National Science Foundation continues its support of cliometric research by sponsoring and providing significant funding for conference and travel expenses for the 2009, 2010 and 2011 annual Cliometrics Conferences. These conferences are committed to open access to those committed to excellence in intellectual inquiry. Twelve papers are chosen from roughly 50 submissions annually. The remaining participants are then selected from those who have submitted papers or applied for attendance. Particular attention is paid to the presence of graduate students and new scholars and those engaged in research in more isolated geographic locations or in smaller liberal arts colleges. The steady mixing of newly trained and experienced researchers creates a unique intellectual environment and increases the participation of potentially under-represented groups in the profession. The organizers also ensure that attendance occurs on a rotating basis to ensure diversity of participation. The conference format-the presenter is allowed a five-minute presentation followed by fifty-five minutes of intense discussion and questions-is structured to bring the expertise of the interdisciplinary conference participants to bear on the research paper and to help train the future teachers and researchers in the field. Annual cliometrics conferences have substantial impacts on the research environment for new and established cliometric researchers and on the overall quality of cliometric research. First, they enable a group of graduate students and young faculty to attend a conference which they could otherwise not afford. Funding more established practitioners ensures that a diverse group of scholars engaged in interdisciplinary research arrive prepared with questions, comments, and fresh ideas to enhance the research discussed at the Conference and to ensure that the paper presenters understand the broader implications of their research. Second, authors presenting papers receive intense exposure for their work from an 'expert' group which, without the Cliometrics Conference, could otherwise take several years. Third, all participants benefit by discovering knowledgeable and enthusiastic colleagues and building their research networks. This unique combination of financial support from the NSF and professional support from conference attendees provides young scholars with the stimulation and encouragement to commit themselves to this interdisciplinary field. All papers presented at these Conferences are widely disseminated on the Cliometrics website (http://www.eh.net/Clio) and via the Newsletter of the Cliometric Society.

该项目汇集了在2009年，2010年和2011年的三个年度的计量历史学会议在计量历史学领域的新的和建立的研究人员。 “历史计量学”是为历史服务的经济学和为经济服务的历史学。 历史计量学在20世纪60年代从几个领域的研究兴趣发展而来;最著名的是经济学，历史学和统计学，但也借鉴了人口学，政治学，社会学，人类学，考古学和其他社会科学。 最近，该领域变得更加跨学科，因为研究人员使用解剖学，气候学和生物学的方法和数据来加强他们的历史计量学研究。 历史计量学议程上的一项主要任务是编制更多更好的历史数据，用以研究各国经济和国际经济的演变和结构动态。 了解历史记录对于今天和未来制定有意义的经济政策至关重要。 在这个项目中，美国国家科学基金会继续支持气候计量学研究，为2009年、2010年和2011年的年度气候计量学会议提供赞助和大量会议和差旅费。 这些会议致力于开放访问那些致力于卓越的智力调查。每年从大约50篇论文中选出12篇。 然后从提交论文或申请出席的人中选出其余的与会者。 特别注意研究生和新学者的存在，以及那些在更偏远的地理位置或较小的文理学院从事研究的人。 新培训的和有经验的研究人员的稳定混合创造了一个独特的知识环境，并增加了潜在的代表性不足的群体在专业的参与。组织者还确保轮流出席，以确保参与的多样性。会议的形式-允许演讲者进行五分钟的演讲，然后进行五十五分钟的激烈讨论和提问-其结构是为了将跨学科会议参与者的专业知识应用于研究论文，并帮助培训该领域未来的教师和研究人员。年度计量学会议对新的和建立的计量学研究人员的研究环境和计量学研究的整体质量产生重大影响。 首先，它们使一群研究生和年轻的教师能够参加他们本来负担不起的会议。 资助更多的既定从业者，确保了一个从事跨学科研究的学者群体的多元化到达准备问题，评论和新的想法，以加强在会议上讨论的研究，并确保论文演讲者了解他们的研究更广泛的影响。 第二，提交论文的作者从一个“专家”小组那里获得了他们工作的大量曝光，如果没有历史计量学会议，这可能需要几年时间。 第三，所有参与者都能通过发现知识渊博和热情的同事并建立自己的研究网络而受益。 NSF的财政支持和与会者的专业支持的独特组合为年轻学者提供了激励和鼓励，使他们致力于这一跨学科领域。 在这些会议上提出的所有论文都在气候计量学网站（http：//www.eh.net/Clio）上和通过气候计量学会通讯广泛传播。
