Mit besten Grüßen, Doris Weichselbaumer CALL FOR PAPERS Special Issue on ‘Gender Economics’ of the Journal of Economics and Statistics / Jahrbücher für Nationalökonomie und Statistik GUEST EDITORS • Luise Görges, Leuphana University Lüneburg (luise.goerges@leuphana.de) • Miriam Beblo, Universität Hamburg (miriam.beblo@uni-hamburg.de) • Doris Weichselbaumer, Johannes Kepler University Linz (doris.weichselbaumer @jku.at) TOPIC After more than a century of catching-up, women’s economic outcomes still lag behind those of men. Women are less represented than men in labour and financial markets, and spend more time in non-market activities such as unpaid care and domestic work. They work in different jobs and lower hierarchy levels compared to men, earn lower wages, accumulate less savings, wealth, and pension claims. Over the past decades, economists’ have become increasingly interested in gender inequality. Apart from carefully documenting differences between genders, they have studied their causes and consequences, e.g. the role of culture and social norms, (institutional) constraints, discrimination and gender differences in preferences in cementing inequalities and the potential for policy measures to reduce them. The goal of this special issue is to advance the state of the art in the field with original contributions, including theoretical, empirical or meta analyses. We welcome theoretical and empirical contributions that shed light on gender inequalities, their causes or consequences. We are particularly interested in submissions that focus on one of the following aspects: • Culture and social norms • Individual behavior and preferences (in labour and other markets, private provision of care, family structure, marriage and divorce, etc.) • Businesses & organizations (discrimination, diversity, flexibility and fringe benefits, etc.) • Policy (provision of care, taxation, parental leave policies, etc.) All papers will be refereed by one guest editor and two anonymous referees. They should be submitted in English to https://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/jbnst as Original Article indicating that it is submitted for the Special Issue: Gender Economics. If you are in doubt whether your paper might fit into the special issue, please contact the guest editors.
