Celebrating Women in Macroeconomics in Cambridge, UK
2019-11-06 09:00 - 17:00 UTC | Girton College, University of Cambridge, Huntingdon Rd, Girton, Cambridge CB3 0JG, UK, United Kingdom
About the Event

Celebrating Women in Macroeconomics in Cambridge, UK. Rebuilding Macroeconomics joins the ESRC’s Festival of Social Science again this year. We will discuss the contribution of women to macroeconomics and scrutinise the barriers that female economists face in universities and policy institutions.
We are pleased to hold this year’s event at the University of Cambridge in Girton College, the first college in Cambridge to admit women in 1869, held at the Stanley Library.
The event will be free to attend, and complimentary refreshments and lunch will be provided. Prior registration is required, and we will release details on how to register shortly. We thank Carolina Alves for organising the event with us.
Background
There is a lack of involvement of women in economics. As of May 2019, macroeconomics is one of the most male-dominated fields with just one out of five new papers being published by females (Repec, 2019). There is a heated dispute among the well-known hypotheses explaining why women are poorly represented in economics. Arguments range from a hostile and non-supportive environment for women, to a matter of choices and preferences.
However, a much less contested debate is about the consequences of this gender unbalance for our field. The gender of those making policies matters, as several studies have shown how males and females have different policy preferences. For instance, male economists express greater opposition to mandating that employers provide health insurance than female economists (May, McGarvey and Whaples, 2014).
The conference expects to celebrate women in macro offering a space where brilliant female macroeconomists can expose their work while sharing and reflecting upon their own experiences as women in the field. A constructive and interactive dialogue with the general audience is intended, where this audience can contribute to the discussion with their own perception of what macroeconomics is (or should be) and their intuition about possible consequences of the lack of woman in macro.

About Women at the Top 2019
The world is run by those with the most money and power, who for centuries have shaped hierarchies, cultural norms and the structure of how people live and work. Today, despite significant efforts by government and business to shift a greater share of money and power to women, this imbalance persists. The number of women at the top of FTSE 350 and S&P 500 companies has dropped in the last year, while the gender pay gap, investment gap, and pensions gap remain. Enforced transparency and societal pressure have brought hidden power inequalities to light and helped to drive progress, but to achieve further meaningful change, business and policy leaders must show commitment to more action.
The need for gender equality is widely accepted, yet progress on achieving this in the workplace is in danger of grinding to a halt. What is impeding a breakthrough? For forward-thinking organizations investing more time and effort in trying to get it right, how do you know you are making changes that will shift the dial? How will power dynamics evolve if money starts to be controlled by different hands?
Agenda
This event will have an interesting agenda and keynotes. For instance, the opening keynote: Redefining power, Financial services: the great missed opportunity, My path to the top: Successes and setbacks, Pay: Time for action, Live demo: How tech can help make the workplace fairer, FT review of the day’s themes will be some the event’s talks. By the end of the day, there will be a Q&A in which you can find the answers to your questions.
Why attend Women at the Top 2019

Join the vanguard of those driving progress and participate in cutting edge debate on gender diversity. Show your commitment to making work and home life fairer for women and men.
Listen to successful leaders talk about their journey to the top, with honesty about setbacks and what they have learned about leadership.
Hear the top excuses companies give for not appointing women leaders, about the tech tools making work fairer, and how to lead diverse teams.
Learn how to pitch an idea, bounce back from career hurdles, and avoid costly financial mistakes in order to make the most of your money.
