Abstract:
This paper uses citation analysis to identify those economists from the
history of economic thought most often referenced in principles of economics
textbooks. The textbooks considered for the study represent 10 of the
top-selling principles textbooks in the field. The analysis includes a
simple page count of the number of citations an economist receives in
principles texts and a more thorough discussion of each specific economist's
contributions. The results generated mirror the results of previous citation
analysis conducted on the entire field of economics.
