In the inspiring interview on Economics of Care, Nancy Folbre takes a closer look to the consequences of the marketization of caring activities on those activities and on the societal organization of care. Folbre elaborates on how to value care and how this shifts the perspectives on living standards. She points to the fact, that caring activities are undervalued both in the market sphere and within the family and thereby questions the division between those spheres. Lastly, Folbre answers the question how to reteach Economics when accounting for caring activities.

The podcast discusses how to deal with the rising inflation and presents a comparative perspective between the US and the EMU.

What are the implications of prolonged inflation? Maria Demertzis, Grégory Claeys and Megan Greene The Sound of Economics, Bruegel As opposed to the conventional over-simplified assumption of self-interested individuals, strong evidence points towards the presence of heterogeneous other-regarding preferences in agents. Incorporating social preferences – specifically, trust and reciprocity - and recognizing the non-constancy of these preferences across individuals can help models better represent the reality. 2019 Level: zaawansowane A fresh perspective to economic theory: Social preferences and their impact on gender and policy Sheral Shah Exploring Economics This essay draws on several analyses on the gender impact of the recession and of austerity policies, in which authors acknowledge a threat to women’s labour market integration and a potential backlash to traditional gender labour structures. We contribute to that literature by asking whether recession and austerity convey a gender effect on educational attainment. Our aim in this essay is to portray the likely effects of austerity measures on gender equality with a focus on women’s participation in tertiary education and to hypothesize the implications of these scenarios for labour market effects, to be tested in future empirical research. 2017 Level: początkujący The impact of Austerity on Gender in Tertiary Education: A Theoretical Analysis Zeynep M.
