Notes on the Measurement of Values

Daniel Scott Smith

The Journal of Economic History, 1985, vol. 45, issue 2, 213-218

Abstract: Historians frequently use values to explain behavior. Since their studies focus on the behavior, they have neglected to measure values and change in values. The current practices of historians of values will not yield conclusions usable in the history of behavior.
