The gendered effects of #MeToo and nondisclosure agreements on workplace social capital in the United States
The #MeToo movement sparked changes in the social structures of workplaces and in legislation. In this paper, we use American Time Use Survey data from 2003 to 2023 alongside Google Trends and state legislative data to examine how #MeToo affected workers’ daily minutes spent socializing with bosses, coworkers, and clients and whether state laws restricting nondisclosure agreements (NDAs) related to workplace harassment or discrimination shaped th…

Gender Marker Laws and Access to Emergency Rental Assistance for Transgender Renters in the United States During Covid-19
Barriers to changing gender markers on identification documents (IDs) create many economic challenges for transgender and gender nonconforming individuals. In the United States, each state has different laws and processes for changing the gender marker on a state ID. Using Household Pulse Survey data, this paper investigates whether transgender renters residing in states with several hurdles to changing gender on a driver’s license had a more dif…

What Is a Feminist Approach to Research in the History of Economic Thought? Methods in the Field
Despite growing literature on women in the history of economic thought and feminist economic methodology, little work has been done to outline a feminist approach to research in history of economic thought. Drawing from methods in feminist history and feminist economics, we describe two distinct approaches: (1) history of feminist economic thought, which examines the trajectory of economic thinking on patriarchy, intersectionality, and social pro…

Supporting Childcare Supply in the United States: An Economic Policy Review and Research Agenda
Childcare market failures have presented economic challenges in communities across the United States. What has prevented childcare supply from meeting demand? We examine childcare market failures in the US and discuss how they are distinct from other types of service markets. We then survey the literature on economic policies that intend to improve the childcare supply. Ultimately, our review suggests that improved worker wages, reduced bureaucra…
Union Coverage and Men’s Participation in Unpaid Social Reproduction in the United States
Unions foster group solidarity, training individuals to think and act for the collective rather than for purely individual gain. In this article, I study the extent to which union membership is associated with men’s participation in unpaid social reproduction. Descriptive models using American Time Use Surveys indicate that, on average, men with union coverage dedicate more time to unpaid care of household members compared to men without. I offer…
The Political Economy of Hegemonic Masculinity: Race, Income, and Housework in the United States
Macrocultural dynamics of hegemonic masculinity complicate microeconomic negotiations. In this article, I examine hegemonic masculinity as an explanatory framework to understand how gendered work in households differs along income and race dimensions. I use Panel Study of Income Dynamics data to demonstrate how men of different race and income groups respond to their female partner out-earning them, an economic threat to masculinity. Results indi…
Has the Feminist Economics Intellectual Project Lost its Way? An Analysis of the Journal’s Evolution
This article analyzes the methodologies, scope, and impact of manuscripts submitted to and published in Feminist Economics from 1995 to 2019. The analysis finds that in addition to becoming increasingly empirical, Feminist Economics publications have also become increasingly intersectional. However, quantitative empirical submissions, relative to other methodological approaches, are more likely to be desk rejected and less likely to be eventually…
Patriarchal Rent Seeking in Entrepreneurial Households: An Examination of Business Ownership and Housework Burdens in Black and White US Couples
This article studies the relationship between unpaid housework and business ownership in the United States. To examine this empirically, it uses Panel Study of Income Dynamics (PSID) data from 1985 to 2019 to document patterns in household production among business-owning households, with a special focus on Black and White opposite-sex couples in the United States. Descriptive evidence suggests that in married White couples, husbands face lower h…
Immigrant Women and the Covid-19 Pandemic: An Intersectional Analysis of Frontline Occupational Crowding in the United States
This paper examines changes in occupational crowding of immigrant women in frontline industries in the United States during the onset of COVID-19, and we contextualize their experiences against the backdrop of broader race-based and gender-based occupational crowding. Building on the occupational crowding hypothesis, which suggests that marginalized workers are crowded in a small number of occupations to prop up wages of socially-privileged worke…

Tracing Barbara Bergmann's Occupational Crowding Hypothesis: A Recent History
Barbara Bergmann was well known for many contributions to economics, but she was perhaps most famous for her 1971 occupational crowding hypothesis. The hypothesis was published during a surge of literature on the economics of discrimination, and it temporarily stood among the mainstream neoclassical theories before being relegated primarily to feminist and stratification economics. This article situates the crowding hypothesis among contemporary …
