Some Notes on the Relationship between Sociology and Economics ( and Political Science ) :

At the turn of the twenty-first century, sociologists are routinely conducting studies of phenomena that have been traditionally considered the domain of economics. And the reverse is clearly true as well. With each discipline studying the other’s topics, it is useful to get a sense of how much intellectual interchange there is and how much this has changed over time In this note, I present some citation patterns between flagship sociology and economics journals (and between these journals and flagship political science journals) to shed light on this question.
