> 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.
