Feminist Economics: Setting out the Parameters

Abstract

Feminist economics has developed its position over the past decade, towards a firmer embeddedness in economic science and a source of inspiration for activists, policy makers, and social science researchers in a wide variety of fields of research. This development has come about in a relatively short period of time, as is reflected, for example, in the follow-up book of the feminist economic primer Beyond Economic Man (Ferber/Nelson 1993), published ten years later: Feminist Economics Today (Ferber/Nelson 2003). The strengthened position of feminist economics also shows in the 10-year anniversary of the prize-winning journal Feminist Economics , the flourishing of the International Association for Feminist Economics (IAFFE), as well as the more regular demand for feminist economic policy advice by institutions like the UN, OECD and governments in developed and developing countries, and in well-established training courses in feminist economics, such as at the Institute of Social Studies and the University of Utah.
