Women in Leadership in Economics Initiative (IEA-WE)
The IEA has embarked on a multi-year project focusing on enhancing the role of women in the global economics profession. We will undertake research in multiple countries focused on understanding and removing obstacles to women in the profession and engage in a variety of activities to amplify women economists’ voices in the global public sphere.
The initiative is led by Ashwini Deshpande, (Ashoka University) with María Inés Berniell (Universidad Nacional de la Plata and CEDLAS), Raquel Fernández (New York University), Dani Rodrik (Harvard University), and Fiona Tregenna (University of Johannesburg) as team members.

Reconstructing the World Economic Order
The post-1990 model of hyper-globalization is under serious challenges. While a few emerging economies, noticeably China and India, have raised their respective average citizen’s living standards, inequality has increased in almost every country.
Technology, Jobs and Development
New technologies are having significant impact on economies around the world. These technologies include robots, computerized algorithms in industrial and service applications, Cloud services, the internet of things, big data analytics and immersive communications and artificial intelligence.

Diversifying Economics Globally
Issues and Recommendations
Economics is currently undergoing a soul searching with respect to its gender and racial imbalances. There are many new initiatives underway in North America and Western Europe to address these problems. A missing component of this discussion on diversity is the geographic one – the relative scarcity of voices from the rest of the world in what should be a global discipline. As the chart below shows, researchers outside the U.S. and Europe are not only severely under-represented in top economics journals, their presence is considerably smaller than the weight of their countries and regions in the world economy.
IEA Collaboration with Remote Student Exchange
The Remote Student Exchange (RSE) initiative and the International Economic Association (IEA) are pleased to invite university professors and instructors to open their existing courses in the fall semester 2021 to remote guest students from low- and middle- income countries.
IEA Collaboration with GAIN
The IEA is pleased to announce its partnership with the Graduate Applications International Network (GAIN) to support mentorship activities to increase the number of African students that apply to graduate programs in economics and to reduce the informational and financial costs in the application process.
