IEA Call: Women in the Economy in the Global South

July 8, 2025By 4 Comments

The economic profession as a whole is marked by a representation of poor women. Although the general problem of the gender imbalances are gradually being recognized, the precise contours of this under-representation are not well understood and need to be documented more fully.

The International Association of Economics (IEA) is currently seeking proposals for research on well-defined that address the under-representation of women in the economy, especially in the Global South. The goal is to identify effective interventions that reduce the gender gap in the profession, including academia, publications, conferences, and leadership.

Proposals may include the implementation of new interventions or the evaluation of existing policies. The IEA gives priority to proposals focused on Argentina, Colombia, Ghana and Mexico, although it is also accepted proposals of other developing countries.

  • Deadline for submission: November 15, 2024

EAERE Winter School: Economy of Biodiversity

July 8, 2025By 0 comment

We are pleased to announce the Winter School, EAERE 2025 on the topic of Economics of Biodiversity, organized by the University Savoie Mont Blanc (USMB) in collaboration with the European Association of Environmental Economists and Resources (EAERE). The school will take place from 19 to 24 January 2025 at the Centre Jean 23 in Annecy-le-Vieux, Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, France.

Focus: Economics of Biodiversity

This year’s theme, ‘Economics of Biodiversity’, will explore the connections between the economy, biodiversity, and nature. Based on the Review Dasgupta on the Economics of Biodiversity (2021), which stresses that the economy is ‘immersed’ in nature, the school will examine how the economic activity is limited by the biosphere, and how sustainable development depends on biodiversity.

Through five lectures given by experts, participants will address key questions, such as:

  • How do we measure biodiversity for economic analysis and accounting of natural capital?
  • What role can be played as nature-based solutions to address externalities local and global?
  • What is the contribution of biodiversity to the resilience and affordable insurance?
  • What is the role of public policies and the financial markets to halt the loss of biodiversity?

Lecturers and Topics

  • Ben Groom, University of Exeter, United Kingdom: Introduction to the Economics of Biodiversity – Measurement, Assessment, and the Economy is Immersed in the Nature
  • Stefan Baumgartner, University of Freiburg, Germany: Values Security and Resilience of Biodiversity
  • Anne-Sophie Crépin, Beijer Institute of Ecological Economics, Sweden: Modeling of Economic Systems-Complex Ecological
  • Additional faculty and topics on biodiversity policy and finance yet to be confirmed.
