  Association Française de Cliométrie

  The Association Française de Cliométrie was founded in 2001 by AFC president Claude Diebolt in order to re-launch cliometrics (international research on quantitative history structured by economic theory and using statistical and econometric methods) in France and abroad.

  Cliometrica - Journal of Historical Economics and Econometric History

  The Association Française de Cliométrie and The Cliometric Society are please to announce the creation of a new journal, Cliometrica - Journal of Historical Economics and Econometric History. Cliometrica provides a leading forum for exchange of ideas and research in all facets, in all historical periods and in all geographical locations of historical economics. The journal encourages the methodological debate, the use of economic theory in general and model building in particular, the reliance upon quantification to buttress the models with historical data, the use of the more standard historical knowledge to broaden the understanding and suggesting new avenues of research, and the use of statistical theory and econometrics to combine models with data in a single consistent explanation. The highest standards of quality are promoted. All articles will be subject to Cliometrica's peer review process. On occasion, specialised topics may be presented in a special issue.

  Editors: Claude Diebolt, Managing Editor; Dora Costa, Co-editor; Jean-Luc Demeulemeester, Co-editor.

  Honorary Members: Paul David, Richard Easterlin, Stanley Engerman, Robert Fogel, John Komlos, Angus Maddison, Peter Temin, Jean-Claude Toutain and Jeffrey Williamson.
