Gender plays a crucial role in many macroeconomic areas, including, for example, how fiscal policy or crises generate different outcomes for men, women, and non-binary individuals, and gender inequalities have substantial macroeconomic consequences. These disparities are often deeply entwined with labor market dynamics, where gender wage gaps, gendered and racial profiling of jobs and segregation, and inequalities in the distribution of paid and unpaid work persist. Such inequalities are further compounded by the systemic undervaluation of unpaid labor as well as paid care work, disproportionately carried out by women. Addressing these imbalances requires policies, which aim to close gender gaps and promote inclusive development. Equally critical is examining the intersection of globalization, climate change and gender, revealing how trade, climate conditions, and financial flows reshape inequalities in the Global South and North. Therefore, this year's FMM conference focuses on the interactions between gender and macroeconomics.
This paper presents a theory and model of long-run cycles in income inequality. The model explains the historical pattern of income distribution identified by Kuznets (1955) and Piketty (2014).
This paper maps the intellectual and institutional landscape of post-Keynesian economics in Germany since the 1970s. It reviews the contributions of academics based in Germany, irrespective of their nationality, to post-Keynesian economics viewed from a broad tent perspective and to the different strands within this broad-tent post-Keynesian economics.
This paper investigates the role of family firms in the fall of the labor share and rise in corporate saving in Germany from 1993 to 2019. Combining a new Family Ownership and Governance (FOG) database with financial data, we analyze 929 publicly listed firms.
This paper aims to develop an ecological macroeconomic model for the Danish economy that can link the economic and financial system with some key aspects of the climate. To do so, we combine Stock-flow-Consistent approach with Input-Output tables to build a hybrid model, which we call Ecological Stock-Flow-Consistent Input-Output model.
