Abstracts

The paper draws attention to several aspects of the XIXth World Economic History Congress (WEHC) that took part in Paris in August 2022. First, it analyzes the plenary session by Bruce Campbell about environmental history. Followingly, three parallel sessions are analyzed that were focused on the research of living standards. Based on this analysis, the paper deduces some vital points that could be more addressed by Czech economic historiography to complement (however, absolutely not to replace!) the current research. First, there should be more interdisciplinary research, including cooperation with natural and exact sciences. Second, much more quantitative research is needed in Czech historiography, e.g. by using database analyses or econometry.
