29th FMM Conference: Gendering Macroeconomics
| Veranstalter: | Hans Böckler Stiftung |

Gender plays a crucial role in many macroeconomic areas, including, for example, how fiscal policy or crises generate different outcomes for men, women, and non-binary individuals, and gender inequalities have substantial macroeconomic consequences. These disparities are often deeply entwined with labor market dynamics, where gender wage gaps, gendered and racial profiling of jobs and segregation, and inequalities in the distribution of paid and unpaid work persist. Such inequalities are further compounded by the systemic undervaluation of unpaid labor as well as paid care work, disproportionately carried out by women. Addressing these imbalances requires policies, which aim to close gender gaps and promote inclusive development. Equally critical is examining the intersection of globalization, climate change and gender, revealing how trade, climate conditions, and financial flows reshape inequalities in the Global South and North. Therefore, this year's FMM conference focuses on the interactions between gender and macroeconomics. Panel discussions with renowned keynote speakers will take place on the evenings of the conference. Elissa Braunstein (Colorado State University), Diane Elson (University of Essex), Caren Grown (Brookings Institute), İpek İlkkaracan (İstanbul Technical University), Özlem Onaran (University of Greenwich), Miriam Rehm (University Duisburg-Essen), Margit Schratzenstaller-Altzinger (Austrian Institute of Economic Research), Ajit Zacharias (Levy Economics Institute) and Izaskun Zuazu (University Duisburg-Essen) have confirmed their participation.
The submission of papers in the following areas is particularly encouraged:
- Effects of Gender Inequality on Macroeconomic Outcomes
- Impacts of Macroeconomic Policies and Crises on Gender Equality
- Policies and Policy Innovations for Gender Equity
- Gender and the Socio-Ecological Transition
- Gender, Diversity and the Labor Markets
- Globalization, Trade and Gender
- Political Economy and Gender
We also welcome submissions on the general subjects of the FMM, macroeconomics and macroeconomic policy ana-lysis and modelling. Women are strongly encouraged to apply. We particularly welcome submissions for graduate student sessions for PhD students. Those who have already presented a paper at a student session in previous FMM conferences should submit to the regular sessions to improve chances for newcomers. Introductory lectures for graduate students will take place on 23 October during the day prior to the opening panel. Hotel costs will be covered for graduate student presenters (max. four nights). Details will be announced in decision letters by mid-August. A limited number of travel stipends for graduate student presenters will be sponsored by INET’s Young Scholar Initiative (YSI). The conference is an in-person event.
The deadline is 31 May 2025. Decisions will be announced by mid-July and will be based on relevance, originality and clarity of the abstracts. After acceptance, full papers are due by 30 September and will be posted here.
Selected papers may be published in a special issue of the FMM’s peer reviewed European Journal of Economics and Economic Policies: Intervention.
