Earlier this year, the Handbook of Historical Economics, edited by Alberto Bisin and Giovanni Federico was published. The handbook covers a lot of ground, including chapters on resources for work in economic history (historical data and where to find them by Giuliano and Matranga; the use of archeological data in economics by Matranga and Pascali; econometrics in historical work by Valencia Caicedo; and history as evolution by Nunn) as well as topics in historical economics (such as a review of research on religion in economic history by Becker, Rubin and Woessmann).
