Cliometrics Conferences, 2003, 2004, and 2005

历史计量学会议汇集了在世界经济史研究中进行前沿研究的学者。 每年邀请40至50名专门研究经济学和统计学在经济史研究中的应用的学者参加会议。 这次会议旨在向学者们提供他们研究的反馈。 我们敦促学者提交处于相对早期发展阶段的论文。 在典型的会议上，选择12篇论文进行演讲，这些论文被打印并提前分发给所有与会者。 所有参与者同意阅读所有论文并参加所有会议。 在每份论文的会议开始时，论文作者有五分钟的时间介绍论文，然后所有与会者都可以进行深入讨论。 那些在会议上展示他们研究的人经常表示，这种体验就像在一个环境中听取15到30名裁判的意见。 因此，学者有机会从该领域的主要学者那里得到反馈。 参加会议但不提交论文的学者经常发现，他们在会议休息和用餐期间以及实际会议期间与其他与会者进行讨论，从而对自己的研究获得了有益的见解。 通常情况下，论文的讨论也扩大了那些不专门研究经济史特定子领域的参与者的知识广度。 会议的另一个目标是为新进入该领域的学者提供一个论坛，让他们的研究得到曝光，并结识更多的知名学者。 通常情况下，大约15%到30%的参与者是最近获得学位的助理教授，或者是正在撰写论文的后期阶段的高级研究生。 历史计量学会议在改善和传播世界经济史研究方面发挥着重要作用。 这些会议将研究人员聚集在一起，在亲密的会议上，经济史研究的积极讨论是规则。 因此，无论是知名学者还是新进入该领域的学者，都能从自己的研究中获得广泛的反馈，并了解其他人的新研究。 该会议有助于加快研究从早期阶段到最终出版的过程。 此外，会议还有助于更广泛地传播成果，因为讨论的说明已在万维网上发表和传播。 会议讨论的研究通常为当前的公共政策问题提供历史背景，包括全球化，政府在经济中的作用，技术变革及其对经济的影响，金融市场以及与经济相关的其他主题。

The Cliometrics Conference brings together scholars performing frontier research in the study of the history of the world's economies. Each year a group of 40 to 50 scholars who specialize in the application of economics and statistics to the study of the history of economies are invited to the conference. The conference is designed to give scholars feedback on their research. We urge scholars to submit papers that are in relatively early stages of development. At the typical conference twelve papers are selected for presentation and the papers are printed and distributed to all of the participants in advance. All participants agree to read all of the papers and attend all of the sessions. At the opening of the session for each paper, the person who wrote the paper has five minutes to introduce the paper and then the floor is opened for an intensive discussion by all of the participants. Those who present their research at the conference often suggest that the experience is like listening to 15 to 30 referees in one setting. Thus, the scholar has an opportunity to get feedback from leading scholars in the field in this setting. Scholars who attend but do not present papers often find that they get helpful insights on their own research from discussions with other participants during breaks and meals at the conference, as well as during the actual sessions. Often, the discussions of the papers also expand the breadth of knowledge for participants who do not specialize in specific subfields of economic history. Another goal of the conference is to provide a forum for scholars new to the field to get exposure for their research and to meet more established scholars. Typically, about 15 to 30 percent of the participants are assistant professors who recently received their degrees or are advanced graduate students in the latter stages of writing a dissertation. The Cliometrics Conference plays an important role in improving and disseminating research on the history of the world's economies. The meetings bring together researchers in intimate sessions where active discussion of economic history research is the rule. As a result, both established scholars and scholars new to the field obtain extensive feedback on their own research and also learn about new research by others. The conference helps to speed the process of bringing research from its early stages to final publication. Further, the conference serves to disseminate the results more widely, as descriptions of the discussion are published and disseminated on the world-wide web. The research discussed at the conference typically provides historical context for current public policy issues, including globalization, the role of government in the economy, technological change and its impact on the economy, financial markets, and a host of other topics related to economies.
