The Importance of Diverse Perspectives: Strategies for Supporting Women in Economics

Aine Ackley, Mary Suiter and Scott Wolla

Page One Economics Newsletter, 2022

Abstract: There is a lack of diversity in the field of economics, which limits the range of perspectives during research and policy discussions. Without diverse perspectives, economists are in danger of not identifying key parts of a problem and not considering a full array of solutions. This Women in Economics special issue of Page One Economics presents the case that diversity among economists is needed to gain a wider perspective during economic research and policy development.
