J.-L. Robert observes a transformation of "classic" approaches to social and economic history as a result of new statistical tools, now available to historians. He advocates a careful methodological assessment of these techniques of research and discusses in detail problems like the stability of indicators over time, the application of sampling-techniques, and the limits of quantification in history.}, keywords = {historical social research; Frankreich; quantitative Methode; historische Sozialforschung; quantitative method; France}}
