Central Banks' Documents Database

L'objectif de ce project est de produire des scripts permettant de collecter les documents publiés par les banques centrales et de nettoyer ces données pour créer une base de données des documents des banques centrales.

Ranystyle

Ranystyle (prononcer R-anystyle) est un paquet R conçu pour automatiser l'extraction, l'analyse et le nettoyage de références bibliographiques à partir de documents PDF et textuels ainsi que de références stockées dans un objet R. En utilisant la puissance du gem Ruby 'anystyle', il segmente les références et les convertit dans des formats de données structurés.

Learning Bibliometrics

Un dépôt github qui rassemble différents scripts pour extraire (manuellement ou via des API) et nettoyer les données bibliométriques.

The Scientific and the Political: Modelling and Forecasting the Economy in Policymaking Institutions

The objective of the project is to map the different channels through which economics influences the Bank and to understand how economic ideas impact (or do not impact) policy-making

ESHS Symposium proposal: “The Scientization of Central Banks”

In the last decades, central banks have become crucial institutions in the management of many countries’ economies. This evolution has been accompanied by a rising ‘scientization’ of central banks. Scientization can designate different dynamics:

Mapping Macroeconomics

Building an online interactive platform displaying bibliometric data on a large set of macroeconomic articles. Our goal is to settle the basis for a broad and long-run project on the history of macroeconomics, as well as to bring to historians tools to run quantitative inquiries to support their own research work.

biblionetwork

The biblionetwork package provides functions to create fastly bibliometric networks like bibliographic coupling network, co-citation network and co-authorship network.

Excavating the Academia/Policy Pipeline - Economic Analysis at the Bank of England Pre and Post-Crisis

The objective of the project is to map the different channels through which economics influences the Bank and to understand how economic ideas impact (or do not impact) policy-making

networkflow

The networkflow package proposes functions to make it easier and quicker to work on networks. It mainly targets working on bibliometric networks. This package heavily relies on [igraph](https://igraph.org/r/) and [tidygraph](https://tidygraph.data-imaginist.com/index.html), and aims at producing ready-made networks for projecting them using [ggraph](https://ggraph.data-imaginist.com/).

OEconomia special issue: Quantitative and Computational Approaches in the Social Studies of Economics

This call for papers aims at stimulating new scholarly contributions that use quantitative and computational methods in the social studies of economics. We intend to attract papers that apply these methods to offer insights and new stories about economics, its evolution, and its role in policymaking.
