New study suggests areas hit harder during the Blitz were more likely to back Brexit in 2016 - not simply because of economics or demography, but because wartime experience appears to have endured in local memory and political culture.

Really pleased to see our global stunting data up on our world in data. We hope it helps people contextualise child stunting in a much longer historical lens. Thanks to Hannah and Tuna for visualising and explaining the data so well! The link to the original paper is here: doi.org/10.1136/bmjg...

1/ Why do many WASH interventions have limited effects on child stunting? Our historical data suggest something surprising: Sanitation infrastructure alone often wasn’t enough, even in the past. New BMJ Global Health paper 👇 doi.org/10.1136/bmjg...

In our new paper (BMJ Global Health), we systematically collected 923 historical growth studies covering 122 countries from 1814–2016. By harmonising height-by-age data, we reconstruct stunting patterns over two centuries. Link: doi.org/10.1136/bmjg... 5)

What is child stunting — and how has it changed over the last 200 years? Stunting means being too short for one’s age due to chronic undernutrition and disease in early life. It’s one of the clearest markers of cumulative deprivation in childhood. 1)

@gregorigv.bsky.social & @victormgomezblanco.bsky.social use natural language processing and network analysis of economic history articles to identify a shift towards a more global, data-driven, and methodologically advanced field. cepr.org/voxeu/column... #EconSky

Chart showing the methodological evolution of economic history. The share of qualitative studies has drastically decreased since 2000 and quantitative studies using panel data and causal analysis have increased.

Economic history is increasingly able to provide us with evidence and inform pressing questions at the intersection of research and real-world decision-making. This column uses natural language processing and network analysis of articles from five leading journals over the past 25 years to identify a shift towards a more global, data-driven, and methodologically advanced field. It maps changing thematic priorities, institutional collaborations, and author networks, highlighting both a generational turnover and growing geographical diversity. It also reveals a strong move towards causal identification-based econometrics alongside a sharp decline in qualitative research, signalling both convergence and trade-offs in the discipline’s integration with mainstream economics.
