*The Economics profession has long been too white, too male, too
Western-centric, and too hostile to non-mainstream approaches. Today, a
new tool – the D-Econ Database – is being launched to address this. *
“All the women were busy.” “There are no people of color working on this
topic.” “It’s the male-dominated field that’s the problem, not this
particular panel.” We needed big names and all the big names just happen
to be white men based in the Global North.”
We’ve all heard these excuses many times over. Women, minorities, and
scholars from the Global South are severely underrepresented in the
field of Economics – and that makes putting together panels that do not
simply reproduce the dominant identities in the field a challenge. The
high concentration of a few dominant identities in the Economics field
has rightly led to outrage against all-white and all-male panels
