Information

Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung

This course introduces students to the relevance of gender relations in economics. The course covers three main components of "gender economics": (1) the gendered nature of the construction and reproduction of economic theory and thought; (2) the relevance and role of gender in economic decision-making; and (3) differences in economic outcomes based on gender.
The course will give students an understanding of the relevance of gender and gender relations in the following topics: economic theory; the history of economic thought; human capital accumulation; labor market discrimination; macroeconomic policy, including gender budgeting; household economics; and basic econometrics.

Art der Leistungskontrolle und erlaubte Hilfsmittel

This course is structured around the instructor's lectures, weekly readings, and in-class activities and discussion. A group project at the end of the semester will allow students to synthesize what they have learned in the class and apply it to a specific topic of their choice.

Students will read papers on a weekly basis, and three times during the semester, they will be required to write a response paper to these readings. Active participation in the course is also an important component of the grade.
