How Economics Discovered Women by Shelly Lundberg - Hardcover Scholarship is a powerful tool for changing how people think, plan, and govern. By giving voice to bright minds and bold ideas, we seek to foster understanding and drive progressive change.

My book (!) How Economics Discovered Women is now available for pre-order from the University of California Press. The book is a survey and critique of how the economics of gender has developed since the mid-1970s. www.ucpress.edu/books/how-ec...

Proud to have "Nonbinary Gender Economics" out in JPE Micro. We document the economic experiences and preferences of nonbinary individuals—a population of 1M+ in the US that is often overlooked.

🚨 A defining moment for global health data.

The termination of the #USAID-supported Demographic and Health Survey (DHS) Program has wide-ranging consequences. We reflect on the collapse and argue what should come next in a new PNAS: doi.org/10.1073/pnas.2…

Greg Mankiw's Blog: On Comparative Advantage, Imperfect Markets, and Boston Weather

I miss the old days of Econ blogging when Greg Mankiw would respond to my post about why he is shoveling snow off his roof. I think we are missing something when Ivy League profs don't interact with the rest of us as much

I saw the same issue in Econ so I wrote an article about placements at non-PhD schools. I saw the lit from other fields, and they all have we looked at only the top 100 PhD programs. So likely someone could write the poli sci one journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...
