The International Working Group on Gender, Macroeconomics and International Economics (GEM-IWG) is an international network of economists that was formed in 1994 for the purpose of promoting research, teaching, policy making and advocacy on gender-equitable approaches to macroeconomics, international economics and globalization. The Program on Knowledge Networking and Capacity Building on Gender, Macroeconomics and International Economics, which was inaugurated in the summer of 2003, has two objectives: first, to engage with fellow economists in order to enhance capacity building in research, teaching, policy making and advocacy in this area; second, to strengthen the intellectual links among practitioners in networks working on similar issues.
The working paper series is designed to create an international forum for scholarly and policy-oriented work on these issues. The goals of the series include:
- To increase the visibility of and centralize access to work in the area of gender, macroeconomics and international economics.
- To make research immediately available to the community, up to a year or more prior to the conclusion of the lengthy review and publication processes of standard academic journals;
- To increase the international supply of this research by providing a publication venue for interested researchers, including Program graduates.
Criteria for Acceptance. The IWG-GEM working paper series publishes papers of high quality that have the following characteristics:
- Make an important contribution to the field of gender, macroeconomics and international economics;
- Build upon and adequately reference the appropriate literatures;
- Are clearly written and accessible to a broad international audience;
- Present clearly the core arguments and methodology.
Submission. To submit a paper to the working paper series, please send an electronic copy of your paper to the series co-editors: Elissa Braunstein (elissa.braunstein@colostate.edu) and Stephanie Seguino (stephanie.seguino@uvm.edu). |
