Telling Palestinian Women's Economic Stories
通过三位巴勒斯坦女性的故事，展示定性研究如何补充甚至挑战定量研究，并论证女性主义经济学家应质疑主流经济学对可接受证据的狭隘定义。
How can theoretical criticisms to economics introduced by feminist economists be addressed empirically? Feminist scholars outside economics have spent considerable time debating appropriate methods and have often argued that interactive, situated research is more appropriate for answering feminist concerns. By telling the stories of three Palestinian women, I provide examples where qualitative research can enhance and even challenge quantitative research. I argue that our understanding of concepts such as power, individualism and preference formation will be enhanced by the use of qualitative methods and that feminist economists should be among those questioning the narrow definition of acceptable evidence articulated by mainstream economists.
