Economics: Biography

"Less than a third of the students who graduate with bachelor’s degrees in economics are women. That percentage of women further dwindles as education levels rise and as careers in economics advance.

In “Women in Economics,” we highlight the careers of women on the narrow end of those statistics: those who have become prominent economists in this global profession."

"CEPR is working in partnership with UBS to celebrate contributions of women in economics, with a series of portraits and video interviews on a dedicated website.
This programme shines a light on quality research and policymaking from female leaders in their field. "Women in Economics" will feature videos of prominent researchers discussing their work and insights. The content is designed to appeal to non-expert audiences as well as those with a deeper understanding of economics."

"In partnership with the Centre for Economic Policy Research, CEPR, an independent, non-profit network of more than 1,300 economists.

Women in Economics is an expansion of our ongoing Nobel Perspectives program, which to date has grown into the largest repository of digital content on award winning economic theories.

The aim of Women in Economics is to focus on economists who are in the middle of their careers, but have already made a major impact in their fields. With fresh thinking and diverse perspectives, they are paving the way to influence the current and next generation of women leaders and economists."
