About
My research focuses on the history and epistemology of quantitative economics. Quantitative Economics was a distant ideal for many economists and has been made a practical reality by many others. It has taken various forms and is continuously evolving, from the Harvard Barometers and NBER early time series, to the Structural Econometrics of the Cowles Commission and more recent randomized controlled trials and other experimental approaches. My focus is on Interindustry Economics—Input-Output Analysis—as pioneered by Wassily Leontief in the interwar at Harvard University, its emergence and development as one of the various forms taken by quantitative economics.
