Routledge Studies in Gender and Economics

Women, Work and the Care Economy explores the critical intersection between gender, labor, and caregiving. The book is divided into four sections, encompassing a diverse range of topics. The theoretical section highlights the challenges of integrating intersectionality into feminist economics, emphasizing the sustainability of life as a transformative framework and linking critical feminist economics with common economic practices. Methodologies include qualitative reviews and multiscale analyses of care systems across Europe, Latin America, and the Global South.The second section focuses on gender inequality and the care economy. It examines the impact of unpaid domestic work on labor market participation in OECD countries, the feminization of caregiving for people with disabilities in Mexico, and spatial disparities in access to care services. Using mixed methods like time-use surveys and spatial analyses, the book underscores systemic inequities.The third section examines work and entrepreneurship, exploring feminist identity's influence on entrepreneurial intentions, the pandemic's effects on the unpaid labor division in the U.S., and caregiving's impact on academic careers in Uruguay. Data collection methods include surveys, econometric models, and gender-disaggregated analysis.The final section addresses public policies and proposals. It analyzes shared caregiving responsibilities in Mexico's labor market, the economic effects of caregiving on female-headed households during COVID-19, and the role of agency in reducing gender disparities globally. By highlighting the importance of care work, the central role of women in the economy, and the need for inclusive public policies, the book seeks to sensitize the wider public to persistent inequalities and how these can be challenged and transformed.

Women, Work and the Care Economy

The Lawrence Stone Lectures

A panoramic history of rules in the Western world Rules order almost every aspect of our lives. They set our work hours, dictate how we drive and set the table, tell us whether to offer an extended hand or cheek in greeting, and organize the rites of life, from birth through death. We may chafe under the rules we have, and yearn for ones we don't, yet no culture could do without them. In Rules, historian Lorraine Daston traces their development in the Western tradition and shows how rules have evolved from ancient to modern times. Drawing on a rich trove of examples, including legal treatises, cookbooks, military manuals, traffic regulations, and game handbooks, Daston demonstrates that while the content of rules is dazzlingly diverse, the forms that they take are surprisingly few and long-lived. Daston uncovers three enduring kinds of rules: the algorithms that calculate and measure, the laws that govern, and the models that teach. She vividly illustrates how rules can change-how supple rules stiffen, or vice versa, and how once bothersome regulations become everyday norms. Rules have been devised for almost every imaginable activity and range from meticulous regulations to the laws of nature. Daston probes beneath this variety to investigate when rules work and when they don't, and why some philosophical problems about rules are as ancient as philosophy itself while others are as modern as calculating machines. Rules offers a wide-angle view on the history of the constraints that guide us-whether we know it or not.

A Short History of What We Live By

Rules

An unconventional, hands-on guide to turning ideas into products that matter—and that people love—from the legendary Silicon Valley pioneer, founder of Zynga, and creator of Stanford Graduate School of Business’s product management course.Mark Pincus has been at the forefront of each iteration of the internet. He built the original app company ahead of the mobile app economy&nbsp;and sold virtual goods to the masses long before in-app purchase generated $85 billion on smartphones. As the founder of Zynga, he brought us FarmVille, CityVille, and Words with Friends, launching eight hit games and reaching more than a billion users in four years.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Pincus has turned hit-making into a repeatable system, birthing one of his favorite guiding principles that “all new fails”. Life at the Speed of Play is his framework for moving faster and massively increasing your odds of success. His insights and advice are essential in the new world of AI, where&nbsp;speed of testing and learning defines winners.Bursting with wit, wisdom, and a core belief in tech’s endless capacity, each chapter of Life at the Speed of Play contains actionable takeaways based on Pincus’s unorthodox “Mark-isms” including “hire people with broken resumes,” “protect investors from themselves,” and, paradoxically, to “f*** scale” in favor of quality over quantity.What They Don’t Teach You at Harvard Business School for the twenty-first century, here is the essential “bible” for entrepreneurs, product managers, innovators, and anyone who has an idea—digital or analog—that they dream of turning into a reality.

Quantitative Applications in the Social Sciences

Measurement connects theoretical concepts to what is observable in the empirical world, and is fundamental to all social and behavioral research. In this volume, J. Micah Roos and Shawn Bauldry introduce a popular approach to measurement: Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA). As the authors explain, CFA is a theoretically informed statistical framework for linking multiple observed variables to latent variables that are not directly measurable. The authors begin by defining terms, introducing notation,&nbsp;and&nbsp;illustrating&nbsp;a wide variety of&nbsp;measurement models with different relationships between&nbsp;latent and observed variables.&nbsp;They proceed to a thorough treatment of model estimation, followed by a discussion of model fit.&nbsp; Most of the volume focuses on measures that approximate continuous variables, but the authors also devote a chapter to categorical indicators. Each chapter develops a different example (sometimes two) covering topics as diverse as racist attitudes, theological conservatism, leadership qualities, psychological distress, self-efficacy, beliefs about democracy, and Christian nationalism drawn mainly from national surveys. Data to replicate the examples are available on a companion website, along with code for R, Stata, and Mplus.

Das Werk stellt die rechtlichen Rahmenbedingungen für die Messung und Abrechnung von Ladestrom gegenüber Endkunden dar. Ausgangspunkt bildet hierfür die Perspektive des zugrundeliegenden "End-to-End-Geschäftsprozesses" ("Meter-to-Cash-Prozess"). Anhand dieser Prozessperspektive werden für verschiedene Lieferkonstellationen die Vorgaben des Energierechts, des Mess- und Eichrechts sowie des Datenschutzrechts erörtert, die für einen rechtskonformen Prozess zu beachten sind. Neben dem Begriff des Letztverbrauchers, der eine zentrale Rolle für die Rechtskonformität des Prozesses spielt, steht angesichts der Digitalisierung und Automatisierung des Prozesses dabei vor allem auch die Verknüpfung mit den technischen Zusammenhängen im Vordergrund.

In this, his final book, economist Anthony Atkinson, one of the world's great social scientists and a pioneer in the study of poverty and inequality, offers an inspiring analysis of a central question: What is poverty and how much of it is there around the globe? The persistence of poverty--in rich and poor countries alike--is one of the most serious problems facing humanity. Better measurement of poverty is essential for raising awareness, motivating action, designing good policy, gauging progress, and holding political leaders accountable for meeting targets. To help make this possible, Atkinson provides a critically important examination of how poverty is--and should be--measured. Bringing together evidence about the nature and extent of poverty across the world and including case studies of sixty countries, Atkinson addresses both financial poverty and other indicators of deprivation. He starts from first principles about the meaning of poverty, translates these into concrete measures, and analyzes the data to which the measures can be applied. Crucially, he integrates international organizations' measurements of poverty with countries' own national analyses.

Measuring Poverty Around the World

A bold new book reveals how we can tap the intelligence that exists beyond our brains-in our bodies, our surroundings, and our relationships.

Use your head.

That's what we tell ourselves when facing a tricky problem or a difficult project. But a growing body of research indicates that we've got it exactly backwards. What we need to do, says acclaimed science writer Annie Murphy Paul, is think outside the brain. A host of "extra-neural" resources-the feelings and movements of our bodies, the physical spaces in which we learn and work, and the minds of those around us-can help us focus more intently, comprehend more deeply, and create more imaginatively.

The Extended Mind outlines the research behind this exciting new vision of human ability, exploring the findings of neuroscientists, cognitive scientists, and psychologists, and examining the practices of educators, managers, and leaders who are already reaping the benefits of thinking outside the brain. She excavates the untold history of how artists, scientists, and authors-from Jackson Pollock to Jonas Salk to Robert Caro-have used mental extensions to solve problems, make discoveries, and create new works. In the tradition of Howard Gardner's Frames of Mind or Daniel Goleman's Emotional Intelligence, The Extended Mind offers a dramatic new view of how our minds work, with practical advice on how we can all think better.

The HICP is a consumer price index which was designed to provide measures of inflation in EU member states calculated using similar methods and thus comparable one with another. The HICP now tracks the inflation rates covering over 500 million Europeans, including the UK, and is also produced by other countries such as the USA. John Astin was the EU statistician in charge of the initial development of this important index and he has the best knowledge of how it was developed in the 1990s. This book is a history of the main development period of the HICP, up to the year 2002 when Astin left the European Commission. It will be of interest to a wide range of readers, not only in the UK but globally. Types of readers are likely to include: economists, economic statisticians, national statistics offices, universities, libraries, government finance/economic ministries, international organizations such as UN, ILO, OECD, EU, Eurostat, ECB, and central banks, as well as individuals whoare interested in the construction of consumer price indices. 


This book begins by explaining the background to the HICP project, both from an economic and a political viewpoint, and describes the specific needs for harmonized price indices resulting from the Maastricht treaty of 1992. It analyses the process of establishing the necessary procedures for taking this urgent work forward and gives details of the technical issues involved, and the critical issue of drafting legal acts which would be necessary to ensure full compliance with the new rules. It includes analysis of products, price collection issues, quality adjustment, timing, and a host of other issues, and discusses the arguments which had to be resolved, as well as some human aspects of the process too. It also looks at the funding aspects, the recruitment of specialist consultants, the legal processes and the organization of meetings, both in Luxembourg and in other countries.</div><div>

Luminous essays on translation and self-translation by an award-winning writer and literary translator Translating Myself and Others is a collection of candid and disarmingly personal essays by Pulitzer Prize–winning author Jhumpa Lahiri, who reflects on her emerging identity as a translator as well as a writer in two languages. With subtlety and emotional immediacy, Lahiri draws on Ovid’s myth of Echo and Narcissus to explore the distinction between writing and translating, and provides a close reading of passages from Aristotle’s Poetics to talk more broadly about writing, desire, and freedom. She traces the theme of translation in Antonio Gramsci’s Prison Notebooks and takes up the question of Italo Calvino’s popularity as a translated author. Lahiri considers the unique challenge of translating her own work from Italian to English, the question “Why Italian?,” and the singular pleasures of translating contemporary and ancient writers. Featuring essays originally written in Italian and published in English for the first time, as well as essays written in English, Translating Myself and Others brings together Lahiri’s most lyrical and eloquently observed meditations on the translator’s art as a sublime act of both linguistic and personal metamorphosis.
