    ECON 771: Political Economy of Race and Gender Spring 2018 Dr. Elissa Braunstein Department of Economics, Colorado State University [email protected] Office: C327 Clark Office hours: T 1:00 – 2:00 (or by appointment) Overview I define political economy as “the study of the impact of group identity and collective conflict on the organization of economic activity and its consequences.” Political economy traditions tend to focus on class as a source of identity and group conflict. In this course, we will expand that focus to incorporate other sources of group membership, giving you a broad background in economic approaches to inequality and identity based on race/ethnicity and gender. We will focus primarily on the neoclassical, Marxian political economy and feminist literatures. In addition to learning more about the relationship between group membership and economic structures, we will use the prisms of race and gender to better understand and critique various approaches to economic analysis. And while much of the literature focuses on the U.S. context, I will try to broaden the discussion as often as possible, and encourage students to do the same. I welcome students from other social science disciplines. Although we will cover some advanced material that may be difficult for those who have not completed graduate economics courses, the emphasis will be on the main points, rather than the technical detail. The syllabus includes both required readings (*starred) and supplemental readings/sections as I wanted to give you a more complete sense of the literature if you are interested in looking further into a particular topic.

  • Ecological and Feminist Economics: an Interview with Julie A. Nelson Julie A
    real-world economics review, issue no. 91 subscribe for free INTERVIEW Ecological and feminist economics: an interview with Julie A. Nelson Julie A. Nelson and Jamie Morgan [University of Massachusetts, Boston and Tufts University, MA. USA; Leeds Becket University, UK] Copyright: Julie A. Nelson and Jamie Morgan, 2020 You may post comments on this paper at https://rwer.wordpress.com/comments-on-rwer-issue-no-91/ Julie A. Nelson is Professor Emeritus of Economics, University of Massachusetts, Boston and Senior Research Fellow at the Global Development and Environment Institute, Tufts University. Over the last 30 years and more she has established herself as a highly respected voice on many aspects of economics, most notably social and environmental policy, ethics, feminism and economics. Her work often has a methodological frame of reference, though she also has a longstanding record in applied economics (initially micro) and worked for the World Bank and the US Bureau of Labor Statistics early in her career. She is the author or co- editor of such well-known books as Economics for Humans (Nelson, 2018) and Beyond Economic Man (Ferber and Nelson, 1993).1 Her published work spans the mainstream- heterodox divide (for example, American Economic Review, Ecological Economics and Cambridge Journal of Economics). Moreover, her collaborative work on various textbooks has shown a laudable commitment to pluralism and the transformation of the curriculum and pedagogy of economics (for example, Goodwin et al., 2019). She was the 2019 President of the Association for Social Economics and is the editor of the Economics and Business Ethics section of the Journal of Business Ethics.

Connecting economics and the legal context, she uses noteworthy cases to illustrate the arguments employed in the courtroom to the Neoclassical Theory of establish a legal finding of discrimination. the Family Love, commitment, work. The essays in this book illustrate how economics can lead to a better understanding of the balancing act in women's lives. The authors help Marianne A. Berber beginner readers of economics to understand how economics can be applied to realms outside of the marketplace. The essays also challenge more advanced readers to think critically about how women connect the domain of family and care to the domain of labor market work. Gary Becker's A Treatise on the family (1981) was published about 20 years ago, a culmination of much of his previous work.1 It has remained the centerpiece of neo- REFERENCES classical economic theory of the family ever since, and Becker has widely, albeit not entirely accurately, been considered "the father" of what is also widely referred to as Becker, Gary. 1981.

  • Feminism, Objectivit and Economics
    FEMINISM, OBJECTIVITY AND ECONOMICS Economics is gender-biased in its definition, methods and models. The emphasis on questions of choice and markets, on the use of mathematical methods, and on models based on individual, rational action reflect a way of conceptualizing the world which has a distinctly masculine slant. Julie Nelson extends feminist analysis of the influence of masculine norms on the development of Western science, by scholars such as Evelyn Fox Keller and Sandra Harding, to the specific case of economics. As well as evaluating the abstract core models of neoclassical economics, this book includes case studies on topics including the theory of the family, income tax policy and macroeconomics. However, the book does not simply berate economists for the discipline’s failings; alternatives such as discarding all current, economic practice, or setting up an economics solely for women or for ‘women’s issues,’ are explicitly and emphatically rejected. Rather, it presents the outlines of a less gender-biased discipline which would be richer, more useful and more objective. Such a discipline, informed by feminist theory, would be an improved one, for all practitioners and all subjects. While in most disciplines the feminist critique is well advanced, this is the first full-length, single-authored book to focus on gender bias in contemporary economics. Its author is a practising academic economist and a leader in the recent development of feminist economics. Julie A.Nelson is Associate Professor of Economics at the University of California, Davis and Brandeis University. She was joint editor of Beyond Economic Man (University of Chicago Press, 1993) and has published widely in leading economics and feminist journals, including Econometrica and Hypatia.

  • Luxembourg Income Study Working Paper Series
    Luxembourg Income Study Working Paper Series Working Paper No. 454 MOTHERHOOD AND WOMEN’S EARNINGS IN ANGLO-AMERICAN, CONTINENTAL EUROPEAN, AND NORDIC COUNTRIES Wendy Sigle-Rushton and Jane Waldfogel December 2006 Luxembourg Income Study (LIS), asbl 1 MOTHERHOOD AND WOMEN’S EARNINGS IN ANGLO-AMERICAN, CONTINENTAL EUROPEAN, AND NORDIC COUNTRIES Wendy Sigle-Rushton and Jane Waldfogel ABSTRACT The earnings of mothers make up an important, but difficult to quantify, component of parental expenditures on children. This paper compares the long-term earnings of women with children, women without children, and men. The study conducts separate analyses for less educated, moderately educated, and highly educated people in eight Anglo-American, Continental European, and Nordic countries. The study finds that, for the most part, these countries cluster into three groups, with mothers in the Continental European group experiencing the largest earnings differentials, mothers in the Nordic group experiencing the smallest, and mothers in the Anglo-American countries occupying the middle position. KEYWORDS Earnings, gender, labor market, motherhood JEL Codes: J18, J1, J 2 INTRODUCTION Gender differences in earnings have been the topic of a great deal of theory and empirical research. Virtually all of this work has noted that women’s greater responsibility for children is an important factor in explaining why women earn less than men (see especially Victor Fuchs 1988; Jane Waldfogel 1998a; Francine Blau, Marianne Ferber, and Ann Winkler 2002). Women with children are less likely to work in the labor market than other women or men, and, when they do work, they tend to work fewer hours and earn lower hourly wages.
