AGEW invites the submission of research papers from both junior and senior researchers on any topic related to gender economics. Both applied and theoretical papers that meet high standards of methodological rigour are invited. Papers should apply an economic framework and gender should be a core element of the analysis. Papers should also demonstrate real world relevance and applicability to addressing issues of social or economic concern.


 Full papers or extended abstracts (min. 1500 words) can be submitted to the AGEW2024 Scientific Committee, here.

 

We invite papers on the following themes and beyond:


Behavioural and experimental insights

Conflict and domestic violence

Development economics

Education and human capital

Evaluation of policy interventions

Gender norms

Health economics and gender

Housing, superannuation, and retirement

Household and interpersonal dynamics

Labour and workplace organisation

Labour market participation

Macroeconomics and economic growth

Parental leave and childcare policies

Poverty, inequality and disadvantage

Tax and transfer policies


Presenters of any gender are welcome to the workshop. Gender economics does not necessarily entail an exclusive focus on women or exclusively on binary classifications of gender.

Please check out the workshop website for more information or feel free to contact the organising committee if you have additional questions at: AGEW2024@uts.edu.au  


If you are not planning to present a paper but interested to join us at the event, please register to attend.
