  • Chapter
  • First Online:
An Economist’s Guide to Economic History

Part of the book series: Palgrave Studies in Economic History ((PEHS))

Abstract

Economic historians speak the same language as economists. They share a common disciplinary core, and they employ similar research approaches to address related questions. The contribution of this chapter is to highlight how the similarities between economic history and other fields in economics can be used to enrich existing teaching materials and pedagogical concepts. Its author presents teaching ideas that use the material collected in this book.

Notes

  1. 1.

    Other places to look for inspiration on teaching economic history are the collection of economic history syllabi collected on the Economic History Association’s EH.net (http://eh.net/course-syllabi/) and a similar resource provided by the Business History Conference (https://www.thebhc.org/syllabi). For ideas on teaching economics more generally, and syllabi from other fields of economics, see The Economic Network’s learning and teaching pages (https://www.economicsnetwork.ac.uk/resources).
