This is an online panel and discussion on the ongoing and potential gendered impacts of COVID-19 organized by the International Association of Feminist Economics (IAFFE). The panel explores in detail a wide variety of the impacts of COVID-19 on gender equality. Key topics covered are the women over-representation in paid/unpaid care workforce colluding with COVID-19 effects on rising unemployment and reducing income, along with rising unpaid work within households; the need of data on Time Use; crises and reproductive economy; the effects of social distancing in provision of food and the limits of the capacity to care in developing countries.

Comment from our editors:

This is a multi-faceted overview of key issues in the current COVID-19 crisis. The gender repercussions of the pandemic are analysed by prominent scholars on feminist economics. A clear idea of what the COVID-19 effect on gender equality would be and lines for future research are provided, along with a great discussion at the end of the panel.

The plumbing of the financial system is coming under strain like never before. On this week’s podcast, we speak with two legendary experts on how the money system works: Zoltan Pozsar of Credit Suisse and Perry Mehrling of the Frederick S. Pardee School of Global Studies. They explain the extreme level of stress we’re seeing, what the Fed has done to alleviate, what more needs to be done, and what the post-crisis future may look like. 2020 Level: mittel The Historic Crisis Of Financial Market Plumbing Tracy Alloway, Joe Weisenthal, Zoltan Pozsar and Perry Mehrling Odd Lots Podcast Dieser Beitrag zeigt auf Basis einer Diskurs- und Metaphernanalyse des öffentlichen Diskurses von ÖkonomInnen zur Finanzkrise, dass hier Krankheitsmetaphern eine zentrale Bedeutung zukommen. Die Metapher der Krankheit impliziert die Vorstellung eines gesunden Normalzustandes der Wirtschaft, der als erstrebenswert bzw. wiederherstellenswürdig erscheint. Die Suggestion, dass die Krise von außen verursacht (eine “Infektion”) sei, ist eine spezifische Interpretation der Krise, die grundsätzlichen Zweifel am bestehenden (Finanz-)Kapitalismus kategorisch ausschließt. Krankheitsmetaphern können vielmehr als implizite politische Forderung interpretiert werden, wirksame Korrekturmaßnahmen zu suchen, um diese Störungen oder Infektionen rasch los zu werden bzw. heilen zu können, um dann schnell wieder zum "Normalzustand" funktionierender Marktmechanismen zurückkehren zu können. 2016 Level: mittel Wie krank ist unser Wirtschaftssystem? Krisen als Krankheiten im ökonomischen Diskurs Stephan Pühringer und Judith Egger Institute für Ökonomie und Philosophie Cusanus Hochschule The novel coronavirus (Covid-19) is rapidly spreading around the world. The real economy is simultaneously hit by a supply shock and a demand shock by the spread of coronavirus. Such a twin shock is a rare phenomenon in recent economic history. 2020 Level: leicht How to Manage the Economic Fallout of the Coronavirus Kavaljit Singh Madhyam Global Social Theory is a large wiki-like project by Gurminder K Bhambra. Its central aim is decolonising and diversifying universities, production of knowledge, and social thought in general. It represents a large online library divided into three parts: concepts, thinkers, and topics in/of social theory and decolonial thought. Every part comprises of short, introductory articles on an according theme. It may be helpful to give you a general overview (and a list of basic readings) on the most essential areas of social theory: caste, class, and race; civil society; racism; secularism; feminism and many others. It may also allow students whose university curriculum in sociology, economics, or other social sciences lacks diversity to compensate for that. Level: leicht Global Social Theory Multiple academic authors: professors, researchers, and lecturers. globalsocialtheory.org The authors discuss how identity affects economic outcomes by bringing together psychological and sociological perspectives and economics. For economic outcomes of a single individual, it might be interesting which kind of social groups this individual belongs to. This may influence individual daily decisions and hence economic outcomes. It can, however, not only affect individual economic outcomes but also economic outcomes of organizations, institutions and other groups. This paper describes these influences with respect to gender in the workplace, to the economics of poverty and social exclusion, and to the household division of labour.
