Abstract

Narratives have drawn increasing attention from economists and from historians and philosophers of science. Yet little of that attention has made it into the history of economics itself. This essay reviews some of the salient literature on economic narratives and introduces key themes from a 2021 workshop intended to bring that analysis to bear within the history of economics. Four important, but little noticed, functions of narratives emerging from that workshop are highlighted: exploration, explanation, closure, and reopening; and promising areas for future research on the multiple roles of narrative in the history of economic practice are suggested.

经济学中的叙事：对过去的新转向

叙述越来越受到经济学家、历史学家和科学哲学家的关注。然而，这种关注很少被纳入经济学本身的历史。本文回顾了一些关于经济叙事的重要文献，并介绍了2021年研讨会的关键主题，旨在将这一分析纳入经济学史。研讨会中出现的叙事有四个重要但鲜为人知的功能：探索、解释、结束和重新开放；并对叙事在经济实践史上的多重作用提出了未来研究的方向。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
