The European Historical Economics Society (EHES) has recently started a blog, called "Positive Check" (after the concept advanced by Thomas Malthus). Its aim is "to promote European research and training in economic history." It publishes posts from events organized by the Society, articles published in the journal European Review of Economic History, interviews with leading scholars in economic history, and other news related to the Society's aims and those of its members. Recent posts include a Q&A with Dan Bogart of UC-Irvine, incoming co-editor of the European Review of Economic History, and a summary of a new working paper by Natacha Postal-Vinay. The editor of the blog is Kerstin Enflo of Lund University.
Dear subscribers to The Exchange: I am happy to announce that our blog is moving platforms. For almost a decade, the Business History Conference has used Blogger to publish and archive posts. However, in early 2021, the blogging site announced that their email serving service would be terminated. In addition, we noticed that many of our subscribers had stopped receiving the blog’s emails, and our subscription provides very limited reporting. In agreement, the Electronic Media Oversight Committee , web administrator Shane Hamilton, and web editor Paula de la Cruz-Fernández decided to move our web blog from Blogger to our website . We now write to you to request that if you wish to continue receiving announcements from the BHC, please subscribe here: https://thebhc.org/subscribe-exchange Interested people will be asked to log into their BHC’s account or open one, free. If you have questions, please email The Business History Conference <web-admin [at] thebhc.org>...
