This is not quite economic history, but the approach taken would lend itself for such analysis assuming the data exist.Wigand, Rolf T. The Communication Industry in Economic Integration: The Case of West Germany. Social Networks ‑‑ An International Journal of Structural Analysis, 1982, 4(1), 47‑79.

Harold Innis' "The Fur Trade in Canada" (>1955) may suggest how network thinking can be used in economic history. It's primarily considered a work of economic geography -- and it certainly doesn't use Network Analysis as a method -- but it deals extensively with communication networks, transportation networks, and with the social/cultural relations between peoples.

***** To join INSNA, visit http://www.insna.org *****
Dear SOCNET list member,
Could you please suggest me some readings in the field of Network Analysis in
Economic History. More specifically I am looking for papers or books which use
Network Analysis as a method of research in economic history or historical
political economy.
Thank you in advance,
