This is the first volume of Research in Economic History edited by Christopher Hanes and Susan Wolcott, who act as coeditors. We continue the policies adopted by our predecessors. Research in Economic History is a refereed journal, specializing in economic history, in the form of a book. As a refereed journal, we do not publish opinion, speculation, rumination, or reviews: we publish information, new and true (well, as true as most articles in economics journals), for scholars. But as a book, we can accommodate work that does not fit the standard journal mold.

This is the second volume of Research in Economic History edited by Christopher Hanes and Susan Wolcott, who act as coeditors. Continuing past policies, Research in Economic History is a refereed journal, specializing in economic history, in the form of a book. The scope of the journal includes facts – data or narrative – which further the understanding of past economic events. The editors solicit reviews from experts in the field to ensure that each article represents an addition to knowledge on an important question. As a book, we can include articles that would not necessarily be appropriate for a more standard journal.
