Der Vortrag gibt Einblicke in eine sozioökonomische Perspektive auf die Themen Ungleichheit und Ökologie. Insbesondere werden dazu die Konzepte der positionalen Externalitäten und endogenen Präferenzen erläutert. Anschließend werden diese auf drei Themenkomplexe angewandt: Das Arbeitsangebot, die Schuldenkrise in den USA, sowie Arbeitszeit und CO2-Budget. Der Vortrag ist eine Sondervorlesung anlässlich der Klimaaktionswoche Public Climate School an der Universität Duisburg-Essen, gehalten wird er von Prof. Dr. Till van Treeck (Institut für Sozioökonomie).

Kommentar von unseren Editor*innen:

Der Vortrag bietet einen hervorragenden Einstieg in sozioökonomische Herangehensweisen. Vorkenntnisse über ökonomische Theorien oder die Anwendungsfelder (Schuldenkrise, Arbeitszeit, CO2-Budget) sind nicht nötig. Wer sich für für eine ökonomische Perspektive interessiert, welche ökologische und soziale Aspekte ernst nimmt, der ist hier genau richtig.

The Gender Pay Gap: Understanding the Economic and Social Causes and Consequences

Level: beginner
The Gender Pay Gap: Understanding the Economic and Social Causes and Consequences
The gender pay gap is a pressing issue that affects individuals and society as a whole, so it is important for economics students to understand it. Despite recent progress, women still earn less than men for the same jobs, leading to economic inequalities and reduced efficiency (see, for example, the recent report released by Moody’s). Understanding the causes and consequences of the gender pay gap is critical in developing policies that promote fairness and equality.

Feminist Economics
This course introduces students to the relevance of gender relations in economics as a discipline and in economic processes and outcomes. The course covers three main components of gender in economics and the economy: (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. We will touch on the relevance of gender and gender relations in at least each of the following topics: economic theory; the history of economic thought; human capital accumulation; labor market discrimination; macroeconomic policy, including gender budgeting; household economics; basic econometrics; economic history; and economic crises.

Sellers’ Inflation, Profits and Conflict: Why can Large Firms Hike Prices in an Emergency?
Isabella M. Weber and Evan Wasner challange the dominant view of inflation that it is macroeconomic in origin and must always be tackled with macroeconomic tightening.
