history:
The subject of economic history is anything in history that is subject to
economic explanations. Application of formal theory or statistical analysis
of data may be relevant, although it is possible to make a contribution
without either, e.g. with a case study or a contextual reinterpretation.
Historians tend to be focused on what happened, how, and why, not on the
question of whether a model fits the evidence.
