Abstract This paper offers a quantitative study measuring, through citation analysis, the historical relationship between economics and the other social sciences (that is, anthropology, political science, psychology, and sociology).

Zusammenfassung:Abstract This paper offers a quantitative study measuring, through citation analysis, the historical relationship between economics and the other social sciences (that is, anthropology, political science, psychology, and sociology). The exercise suggested here comprehends the period from 1959 to 2018 in order to understand both whether economics has opened more space for the other social sciences and, if so, the subtleties of this process. The paper also develops an original asymmetry measure for interdisciplinarity-the Coefficient of Interdisciplinary Asymmetry. Resumo Esse artigo apresenta um estudo quantitativo que mede, através de análise de citação, as relações históricas entre a ciência econômica e as outras ciências sociais (isto é, antropologia, ciência política, psicologia e sociologia). O exercício aqui proposto abarca o período entre 1959 e 2018, e busca compreender se a economia abriu mais espaço para as demais ciências, e, se esse for o caso, as sutilezas desse processo. Esse artigo desenvolve, ainda, uma medida original de assimetria para a interdisciplinaridade - o Coeficiente de Assimetria Interdisciplinar.
