Abstract: The situation derived from the current covid-19 pandemic has produced an increasing interest in the way how past societies dealt with pandemics and their resulting social and economic consequences. However, the study of the epidemics in the past is not a topic widely covered/discussed in Economic History. As a response to both demands/ interests, this special issue of Investigaciones de Historia Económica - Economic History Research compiles six original papers that address the development and consequences of different pandemics along the past centuries from an economic perspective. As guest editors of the special issue, our main goal was to obtain a wide sample of works that could cover different outbreaks in different countries at different times. Therefore, the articles presented in this special issue span from the Middle Ages to the twentieth century, from the Black Death and the 1918 Spanish flu in Europe to the 2014 Ebola outbreak in Africa KEY Classification-JEL:
