Feminism and Economics
指出经济学在定义研究对象、模型、方法和教学上存在男性偏见,主张建立一种让男女研究者都能使用最合适方法来研究经济供给的学科,并举例说明性别偏见存在与否的研究。
Recent feminist theorizing about gender and science could improve economic practice. The usual definitions of the subject matter, models, methods, and pedagogy of economics, while often perceived as value-free and impartial, contain distinct masculine biases. The alternative is not a ‘feminine’ economics, not a ‘female’ economics, but an economics in which practitioners of either sex make use of the widest range of appropriate methods in studying the subject of economic provisioning. Examples are given of work in which gender conformity has not been a defining factor, as well as work in which gender biases are apparent.
