The authors discuss how identity affects economic outcomes by bringing together psychological and sociological perspectives and economics. For economic outcomes of a single individual, it might be interesting which kind of social groups this individual belongs to. This may influence individual daily decisions and hence economic outcomes. It can, however, not only affect individual economic outcomes but also economic outcomes of organizations, institutions and other groups. This paper describes these influences with respect to gender in the workplace, to the economics of poverty and social exclusion, and to the household division of labour.

Rethinking Democratic Economic Planning: An Overview
This article outlines the fundamental challenges of democratically planned economies and categorises proposed models into six groups, each of which approaches planning and coordination at different levels of authority and between myriad economic units in a particular way, taking into account efficiency as well as democratic principles and environmental and social sustainability. Through a classification system based on decision-making authority and mediation mechanisms, the article provides a framework for understanding and comparing these models. By examining their different approaches, it offers insights into the complexities and potential paths of democratically planned economies in the 21st century.

Sommes-nous rémunérés selon la productivité marginale ?
La répartition du revenu est un sujet sensible, à cheval sur l’économie et la question sociale. Il existe une théorie à prétention scientifique qui en explique les bases: la rémunération selon la productivité marginale. Elle ne semble pas neutre socialement. Analysons en la validité sous l'angle théorique et l'angle empirique.
