A Feminist Perspective on the Urgent need for Reforms in Sovereign Credit Ratings
This commentary piece seeks to engender the critiques of sovereign credit ratings. The focus on the role of credit ratings agencies in deepening debt crises tends to fade once the immediacy of crisis is over. This piece argues that sovereign credit ratings should be viewed as part of the international financial architecture that continues to impose a restrictive view of acceptable economic outcomes and measures of success. Such outcomes and measu…
Sovereign Credit Rating
This article examines sovereign credit rating methodologies and their impact on fiscal space in developing economies. While sovereign ratings are meant to reflect default risk, the biases embedded in the rating methodologies result in overly punitive rating actions in developing economies that often limit their ability to implement countercyclical policies. In addition, with a singular focus on austerity, they tend to shift focus away from critic…
Comparing Labor Market Trajectories of Refugee Women to Other Immigrant and Native-Born Women in the United States
Even as the world has witnessed an unprecedented number of displaced individuals, resettlement of refugees has been met with fears about their ability to integrate into host economies. Such fears are compounded by the limited information on the long-term economic outcomes of resettlement. This study uses American Community Survey data to explore the labor market integration of refugee women resettled in the United States over the period 2002–16. …
Who protests? An exploration of the class dimensions of anticorruption mobilization
This article examines the role of economic class in mobilizing against corruption. Across several countries, recent anticorruption movements have been attributed to the growing urban middle class. Yet, existing studies have not examined how citizens view their own agency and how their views may be affected by their class position. We use Transparency International's Global Corruption Barometer survey and a case study of India to critically examin…
Economic underpinnings of violent extremism
Indian Immigrant Women and Work
In recent years, interest in the large group of skilled immigrants coming from India to the United States has soared. However, this immigration is seen as being overwhelmingly male. Female migrants are depicted either as family migrants following in the path chosen by men, or as victims of desperation, forced into the migrant path due to economic exigencies. This book investigates the work trajectories and related assimilation experiences of inde…
Moving from the Household to the Individual
The Culture of Class and Its Economic Impact
The following is an extract from our book Seeing White: An Introduction to White Privilege and Race (Halley et al. 2011). The book presents an exploration of the culture of whiteness that dominates social and economic life in the United States. This extract contains a brief introduction to whiteness as a cultural norm and presents the argument that whiteness itself has become a form of economic capital supporting the reproduction of dominance and…
The Feminist Economics of Trade
Foreign Direct Investment and Wages
This paper presents a cross-country empirical investigation of the impact of Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) on manufacturing wages. Our results indicate that FDI-Flows have a negative impact on overall wages in the manufacturing sector and this impact is stronger for female wages. We argue that one possible explanation for such an impact may be a decrease in the bargaining power of labor due to new labor market arrangements in a global economy w…
Trade, Job Losses and Gender
This paper presents a gender perspective of the Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA) program. The TAA is the primary US policy to assist the transition of workers displaced due to trade related economic restructuring. In comparison to the relatively substantial research on gendering trade policies in developing economies there is very limited focus on gendering policy responses to trade in the US. We argue that there is a specific gender trend in th…
