“A 2019 survey by the American Economic Association, documented widespread sexual discrimination and harassment. Almost half of the women surveyed among the association’s members said that they had experienced sexual discrimination that interfered with their careers…”

Larry Summers’ sexism is jeopardizing his power and privilege, but the entire economics profession hinders progress for women - an excellent reflection by @yanarodgers.bsky.social theconversation.com/larry-summer...

A really important read by @yanarodgers.bsky.social - we have so many fantastic female economists in school and we'd hate to think that they would struggle to progress due to the economics profession's practices and culture. Have a read. #EconSky

This piece I wrote for @theconversation.com argues that the Summers/Epstein debacle reflects what the data show: systemic bias in the economics profession’s practices and culture. That bias influences who succeeds and who is sidelined. #EconSky theconversation.com/larry-summer...

Larry Summers’ sexism is jeopardizing his power and privilege, but the entire economics profession hinders progress for women @us.theconversation.com @yanarodgers.bsky.social theconversation.com/larry-summer...

Excellent op-ed from @yanarodgers.bsky.social placing the Summers scandal---and the lifetime ban announced today by the AEA---in context. theconversation.com/larry-summer...

We call on other institutions in the economics profession to take these revelations seriously, to open an independent investigation into Summers’ conduct, and to reconsider his access to the platforms and networks that he has been afforded for too long.

Women in economics have unfortunately become accustomed to dealing with sexism and harassment in the workplace. This reduces women’s productivity and limits their success and should never be tolerated.

CSWEP strongly condemns Larry Summers’ behavior as revealed in the email correspondence with the late Jeffrey Epstein. While abuse of power in the economics profession is not new, rarely has the intent behind such abuse been so clearly stated.

The revelations about Summers & Epstein reflect a profession that has tolerated exclusionary norms and hostility toward women for decades. The discipline cannot claim credibility while ignoring its own misogyny. We need to enforce codes of conduct and prioritize accountability.#Econsky

Thanks to @yanarodgers.bsky.social, Debotri Dhar, Revecca Pedi, and @kahooser.bsky.social for an inclusive and empowering discussion on #Women in #InternationalRelations. The audience members joined in from 26 countries across six continents!

OK, who wants to help me draft & distribute a letter of support for Lisa Cook & Central Bank independence? I already have a first draft & a bunch of academics' emails If you want to help get this going, email me ([email protected]) www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddo...

Roundtable at @iaffofficial.bsky.social on my new book: Economics and the Family: A Social and Political History (Cambridge University Press). Thank you for the discussion @rgbetancourt.bsky.social @yanarodgers.bsky.social Nancy Folbre and Mariel Gruppi

📌Featured in the Global Reproductive Justice issue: Annie McGrew & @yanarodgers.bsky.social reflect on why employers subsidize employee access to fertility-regulating technologies and whether this enhances or undermines reproductive justice. 🔗 www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

We have evidence abortion bans harm women, now evidence it harms the economy. These bans need to be repealed ASAP. The costs of restricting abortion? More than $130 billion per year. www.motherjones.com/politics/202... by @juliannemcshane.bsky.social via @motherjones.com CC @yanarodgers.bsky.social

🚨Working paper alert🚨🏳️‍🌈 #EconSky #LGBTQ+economics Proud to share our working @yanarodgers.bsky.social in which we empirically analyze whether LGBTQ+ women suffer more severe mental health consequences during the pandemic www.researchsquare.com/article/rs-6...

I will be presenting the paper "LGBTQ+ women and mental health during the COVID-19 pandemic" (joint work with @yanarodgers.bsky.social ) at SEHO conf tomorrow 15:00-17:00 in Zaragoza @unizar.es

Feminist economist Susan Feiner’s brave sister Emily Feiner is making global headlines for standing up for freedom of voice and democracy at a local town hall meeting and getting forcibly removed by a bunch of officers. #Econsky eu.usatoday.com/story/news/p...

My Dutch-American friend @yanarodgers.bsky.social is reading my column book today while enjoying the sunshine. For those interested, such short pieces may make a good holiday reading 😊

Such a travesty that the Demographic and Health Survey program was terminated this week. I realize the Gates Foundation can't pick up all the pieces, but this one seems like a natural one for them to pick up given that the DHS is the go-to data source for many of their focus areas.

If you're looking to break from doomscrolling at end of week - check out this fascinating new special issue in @FeministEcon edited by @BilgeErten @DuvvuryN @bilgeerten.bsky.social + Ramnarain on perspectives on conflict, disaster + violence against women #econtwitter #econsky

🚀 Our @womeninecon.bsky.social WiE Index is out — and we’re finally on Bsky! 🎉 Follow us for the latest updates and events! 🧡

The Federal Reserve is not as independent from the executive branch as we’d like to think. The NY Fed just cancelled this Thursday’s @aeacswep.bsky.social reception at #EEA2025 and withdrew from our summer fellowship program. Both support women and underrepresented groups in economics. #EconSky

Thank you @aeacswep.bsky.social for the opportunity to organize CSWEP panels at the annual EEA conference and to contribute to CSWEP’s hugely important mentoring and training programs.

What’s wrong with describing your female PhD student as “careful” but your male student as “superb”? Find out in this new paper by Beverly Hirtle and Anna Kovner on gender and race/ethnicity biases in rec letters for Econ job mkt candidates. #Econsky @newyorkfed.bsky.social @richmondfed.bsky.social

Congrats!! Award winning strava art 🏅 #Econ5k awards ceremony is up: youtu.be/0miW6gUyek4

Running during a break from #ASSA2025 is such a great way to see the sights and catch up with #Econ5k friends @inaganguli.bsky.social and @dbergstresser.bsky.social

Happening right now at #ASSA2025. A fascinating AEA session on the impact of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion policies.

@aeacedpc.bsky.social and @aeacswep.bsky.social are working hard to improve the economics profession. Econ dept chairs, be sure to complete the survey emailed to you, and if you are going to #ASSA2025, please attend this inaugural session on best and worst practices in econ departments. #EconSky

Here’s my attempt for an age group award for the #Econ5k. Looking forward to running together with #EconSky friends at #ASSA2025 in SF this week :) @econ5k.bsky.social #runaroundprinceton

Remember to submit your #Econ5K results, and you can still get a T-shirt! Look who else has one 👀

Just submitted my entry for the “artistic merit” award for this year’s #Econ5k. We ran the shape of the Liberty Bell in Philly this morning. A bit more than 5k but hopefully top marks for creativity. Thnx @econ5k.bsky.social for the incentive to do this :)

Our new study in Disability and Health Journal shows that Direct Support Professionals have very high rates of food and housing insecurity. Their pay is effectively set by Medicaid reimbursement rates, implying that gov'ts have institutionalized economic insecurity among DSPs and their households.

Look what arrived today, it’s my 2025 #Econ5k tshirt! Now I just need to run a decent time. Thanks @econ5k.bksy.social for your community-building efforts :)

Pressure from fast food corporations like McDonald’s to meet strict turnaround targets at the drive-thru contributes to poor working conditions, yet franchise owners are held responsible. An example of David Weil’s fissured workplace. Good read. #EconSky

Don't forget to submit @ashecon.bsky.social abstracts by Wednesday! Especially looking forward to your Aging, Demography, and LTC submissions! www.ashecon.org/2025-nashvil...

Call for papers is open for the Gender, Work & Organization 2025 conference in Nantes, France, at Audencia Business School, July 21-23. It has 29 streams, with one on gender and the gig economy that I am organizing with Melissa Langworthy. #EconSky #EconConf onlinelibrary.wiley.com/page/journal...

Restrictions on gender-affirming care for trans youth are harmful and based on ideology, not science. Our research shows that access to HRT meaningfully reduces the risk of suicide attempts and running away among trans youth. www.aeaweb.org/articles?id=... #Econsky #trans

Having enough nurses & aides at nursing homes is critical for quality care. My mom spent time in a facility before she died and my dad is in one now. Witnessing neglect due to staff shortages is heartbreaking, and rescinding mandates to improve the situation is wrong. www.nytimes.com/2024/11/29/h...

2025 ECON5k starts December 1! Details are here sites.google.com/view/econ5k, including how to get a t-shirt and how to upload your results. Please also feel free to post your results on BlueSky with the hashtag #ECON5k!

I hear that Dutch universities are planning a national protest against a proposed budget cut of 1.3 billion euro by the new right wing government. The long term repercussions of such a cut would indeed be hugely detrimental for the entire country.

@aaronsojourner.org has created this helpful feed of economics conferences. I look forward to seeing which upcoming conferences get added to the list! #Econsky #Econconf

Calling all runners in the Princeton NJ area: we now have a BlueSky feed in addition to our daily runs, Facebook group, and WhatsApp chat. Just comment below if you want more info on any of these. #runaroundprinceton #runchat

Be sure to check out (and cite!) this important review article in the JEL on the economics of sexual orientation and gender identity written by pathbreaking scholars in this field.
