    Deci­si­ons regar­ding the size and allo­ca­ti­on of public spen­ding, govern­ment invest­ments, and taxa­ti­on, for exam­ple, impact inco­me dis­tri­bu­ti­on and co-deter­mi­ne pos­si­ble pat­terns of nati­o­nal deve­lop­ment. Simi­larly, choi­ces in mone­tary policy affect the labor mar­ket, infla­ti­on, exchan­ge rates, and inco­me and employ­ment ine­qua­li­ti­es. The­re­fo­re, this rese­ar­ch area seeks to unders­tand the vari­ous dimen­si­ons of the rela­ti­onship betwe­en eco­no­mic policy and ine­qua­li­ti­es to ena­ble cons­truc­ti­ve inter­ven­ti­on in public deba­te, pro­mo­ting more inclu­si­ve and ega­li­ta­ri­an growth and deve­lop­ment trajectories.

  • Decarbonization, Development, and Just Transition

    The rese­ar­ch area “Decar­bo­ni­za­ti­on, Deve­lop­ment, and Just Tran­si­ti­on” focu­ses on the eco­no­mic dimen­si­on of cli­ma­te chan­ge, empha­si­zing the rela­ti­onships betwe­en growth, decar­bo­ni­za­ti­on, and inequalities.

    It aims to reflect on the pos­si­bi­li­ti­es, limits, and con­tra­dic­ti­ons of a glo­bal agen­da that pro­po­ses redu­cing emis­si­ons, incre­a­sing inco­me, and dis­tri­bu­ting it more equi­ta­bly. One of the goals of this rese­ar­ch area is to pro­mo­te a cri­ti­cal unders­tan­ding of the decar­bo­ni­za­ti­on pro­cess, pro­vi­ding insights for for­mu­la­ting poli­ci­es com­mit­ted not only to addres­sing the cli­ma­te cri­sis but also to its eco­no­mic and soci­al deter­mi­nants and impacts. Rele­vant topics within this rese­ar­ch area inclu­de finan­cing alter­na­ti­ves for the tran­si­ti­on, the eco­no­mic and soci­al costs of this pro­cess, and the dif­fe­rent pers­pec­ti­ves that sha­pe this con­text in deve­lo­ped and deve­lo­ping coun­tri­es, both domes­ti­cally and internationally.

  • Feminist Economics

    The rese­ar­ch area “Femi­nist Eco­no­mics” reflects on the eco­no­mic, soci­al, poli­ti­cal, and cul­tu­ral struc­tu­res and pro­ces­ses that repro­du­ce or com­bat inter­sec­ting ine­qua­li­ti­es, expres­sed, for ins­tan­ce, in soci­al rela­ti­ons of gen­der, race, and class.

    Drawing from the con­cepts and con­tri­bu­ti­ons of femi­nist the­ory, it ques­ti­ons tra­di­ti­o­nal unders­tan­dings of eco­no­mics to exa­mi­ne the ori­gins of ine­qua­li­ti­es embed­ded in pro­duc­ti­ve and repro­duc­ti­ve rela­ti­ons. Our work high­lights the invi­si­bi­lity and dis­re­gard, by con­ven­ti­o­nal metrics, of unpaid care work and the under­va­lu­a­ti­on and pre­ca­ri­ous­ness of paid care work. From a public policy pers­pec­ti­ve, this rese­ar­ch inves­ti­ga­tes the sta­te’s res­pon­si­bi­lity and the redis­tri­bu­ti­ve role of poli­ci­es, empha­si­zing the impact that the soci­a­li­za­ti­on of costs and the uni­ver­sa­li­za­ti­on of bene­fits from ensu­ring soci­al repro­duc­ti­on have on com­ba­ting gen­der and raci­al inequalities.
