 abstract = {In October 1993, the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences awarded the Nobel Prize in Economics to Robert William Fogel and Douglass Cecil North `for having renewed research in economic history.'  The Academy noted that `they were pioneers in the branch of economic history that has been called the þnew economic history,þ or þcliometricsþ.'  In this paper I address what this cliometrics is and how these two Nobel Prize winners furthered the discipline of economics.},
