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.
