Excerpt

March 2025, Article: "For too long, Western institutions have shaped empirical research and policy rec ommendations. Authors based in develop ing economies have a far too small footprint in top economics journals. They account for only 7 percent of articles in the top 10 jour nals of the profession, as Ernest Aigner, Jacob Greenspon, and I show in a forthcoming paper, even though their collective weight in the world economy exceeds 60 percent (measured by their global GDP share at purchasing power parity). The representation of women economists on all fronts is lower still."
