摘　　要：美国经济史学自19世纪末产生之初起,就带有鲜明的历史主义色彩和对理论经济学的批判风格。然而,进入20世纪后,传统经济史在稳步发展的同时,也遭遇到来自计量经济学者的挑战。尤其是20世纪50年代以后,青年经济史学者普遍接受了计量方法,传统经济史学者则被边缘化。计量经济史研究逐渐成为美国经济史学的主流,但也因其抛弃历史主义传统而备受争议,其对历史的过度抽象和对新古典经济学的过分依赖都在一定程度上限制了经济史学的发展。At the end of the 19 century,when the study of economic history of the US began,the field tinged with a bright color of historicism and a critique of theoretical economics.In the 20^(th) century,when the traditional economic history made steady progress,it confronted the challenge from the econometricians.Especially after the 1950 s,the young generation of economic historians generally accepted econometrics,which in practice marginalized the traditional economic historians.Cliometrics has gradually become the paradigm for the study of American economic history.However,the paradigm shift is not without criticism due to its rejection of the tradition of historicism.To some extent,excessive abstraction and reliance on neo-classical economics of cliometrics has put a limit on the study of economic history.
