The remit of financial geography—before and after the crisis (2009, background): “…challenged omissions of women’s work from national accounting conventions, explored the gendered dynamics of globalisation and demonstrated that economic theory is gendered (and western-centric) in its assumptions, models and practices (Ferber and Nelson 2003, Zein-Elabdin and Charusheela 2004).”
The Political Economy of “Transnational Business Feminism” (2015, background): “…rather than ignoring gender and subsuming “women” under the ontological category of rational economic man as has been characteristic of much neoclassical economics (Ferber and Nelson 2003), there is a growing tendency to view women as more risk adverse than men and to have longer-term goals.”
Women’s Empowerment and Economic Development: A Feminist Critique of Storytelling Practices in “Randomista” Economics (2020, background): “Feminist economics has carved out a distinctive territory within the larger ﬁeld of economics (Folbre 1994; Kabeer 1994; Strassmann and Polanyi 1995; Berik 1997; Benería 2003; Ferber and Nelson 2003; Power 2004; Balakrishnan, Heintz, and Elson 2016).”
