Endogenous Growth, Population Dynamics, and Economic Structure: Long-Run Macroeconomics When Demography Matters
Even long-run macroeconomic growth models that allow for endogenous growth rely on simplistic assumptions regarding demographic regimes. This paper develops a model with more realistic variation in such regimes, including both excessively high and excessively low levels of average fertility. Variations in the structure of the market economy shape these population dynamics, and these trends in turn affect macroeconomic outcomes. Like early overlap…
Don't Let Another Crisis Go to Waste: The Covid-19 Pandemic and the Imperative for a Paradigm shift
The COVID-19 pandemic revealed how globalized, market-based economies critically depend on a foundation of nonmarket goods, services, and productive activities that interact with capitalist institutions and impact market economies. These findings, long argued by feminist economists, have profound implications for how we think about our economic futures. This paper shows how lessons from the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic can inform how people think ab…
The Economy's Other Half: How Taking Gender Seriously Transforms Macroeconomics
Gender, population dynamics, and growth: The interplay between economic structure and demographics
This article presents an approach to modeling long-run growth in which endogenous population dynamics affect an economy’s growth path. It links economic structure, captured by variations in aggregate returns to scale, to macroeconomic dynamics, in which changes in the costs of reproducing the population affect patterns of growth. Within the model, women are assumed to make fertility decisions that are affected by preferences, norms, and the expec…
Rethinking Economic Policy for Social Justice: The Radical Potential of Human Rights
The dominant approach to economic policy has so far failed to adequately address the pressing challenges the world faces today: extreme poverty, widespread joblessness and precarious employment, burgeoning inequality, and large-scale environmental threats. This message was brought home forcibly by the 2008 global economic crisis. Rethinking Economic Policy for Social Justice shows how human rights have the potential to transform economic thinking…

Critical Perspectives on Financial and Economic Crises: Heterodox Macroeconomics Meets Feminist Economics
This contribution brings together various strands of analysis about the causes, consequences, and policy ramifications of economic crises, with a specific focus on distributional dynamics. It aims to facilitate a conversation between macroeconomic theorists of crises and instability and feminist economists and scholars of intergroup inequality. Macroeconomic analyses of the Great Recession have centered on the causal role of financial deregulatio…

Debt, Power, and Crisis: Social Stratification and the Inequitable Governance of Financial Markets
Credit markets lie at the heart of many economic crises, shaping policy responses and reinforcing inequities. This essay examines the power dynamics embodied in debt relationships, the propensity of credit markets to create conditions of economic fragility, and the interactions between financial markets and existing social stratifications. It explores case studies of credit markets and crisis: racialized lending in the subprime mortgage markets, …
Monetary Tightening and the Dynamics of US Race and Gender Stratification
This article explores the race and gender effects of monetary tightening in the US from 1979-2008 using state-level panel data. Results indicate the costs of fighting inflation are unevenly distributed amongst workers, weighing more heavily on black females and black males, followed by white females, and lastly white males. We also find evidence that the relative unemployment costs of monetary tightening for subordinate groups vary with the black…
Financial Regulation, Capabilities and Human Rights in the US Financial Crisis: The Case of Housing
This paper analyses the role of finance and financial regulation in shaping capabilities, in the context of the 2008 financial crisis in the USA, paying particular attention to the implications for capability to be adequately housed. It argues that public reasoning and public action to safeguard this capability can benefit from reference to the obligation to realize the human right to adequate housing. The paper contributes to two areas of discus…
