Abstract

Social sciences recently witnessed an increase in multidisciplinary studies. Economists are part of this movement. Do they have an impact on other disciplines? Few studies are concerned with the transfer of knowledge from one discipline to another. Our paper tries to shed some light on this issue in the specific case of the contribution of economics to historical research in Canada in the last three decades. Is the use of economic tools widespread? Does it follow an upward trend over the period? Is it related to research topic, period treated or historiographical tradition? Is there a difference between Anglophone and Francophone historians? These are some of the questions explored. Les sciences sociales ont connu récemment une expansion dans les études multidisciplinaires sur le plan de la recherche et de l’enseignement. Les économistes ont pris part au mouvement. Ont-ils eu un impact sur d’autres disciplines? Peu d’études se penchent sur le transfert de connaissances d’une discipline à une autre. C’est ce que nous faisons ici dans le cas spécifique de la contribution de l’économie à la recherche historique au Canada dans les trois dernières décennies. L’utilisation concrète que font les historiens de la science économique dépend-elle du sujet abordé, de l’époque étudiée, de la tradition historiographique, de la méthode d’enseignement? Y a-t-il une différence entre les historiens francophones et anglophones?
