Why Aren't More Economists Doing Research on Sexual Orientation?
探讨了经济学家很少研究性取向问题的原因,包括歧视、缺乏兴趣和知识、缺少支持以及数据和模型不足,并建议机构决策者通过创造无歧视环境、资助研究和开设课程来推动该领域研究。
Few economists work on issues of sexual orientation despite cultural and political changes which have spawned work in other social sciences and the humanities. Barriers to work in this area include discrimination against sexual minorities, the lack of interest and knowledge about sexual orientation, the absence of support for this research, and the scarcity of appropriate models and data. Institutional decision-makers could facilitate research on sexual orientation by creating nondiscriminatory workplaces, valuing and funding the research, and by creating courses in this area.
