Course Description:
This course begins with a broad overview of how gender relates to economics and continues with a focus on the role of gender within different spheres: gender differences within the labor market, gender and education, gender in household bargaining, and historical perspectives on gender. The course will finish with a discussion on the role of gender in experimental economics. Through both readings and class discussions, we will uncover several explanations for observed gender differences and gain a critical understanding of the current research on gender and economics. Each student will have an opportunity to choose an area or sphere of interest to investigate and report on gender issues. |
