The INSTITUTE OF SOCIAL STUDIES in The Hague is 
pleased to announce that in 2003 it will be offering an 
intensive six-week

DIPLOMA in FEMINIST DEVELOPMENT ECONOMICS

One of the most pertinent social differentiations among agents in 
any economy is that of gender. Women work longer days than 
men, earn lower wages, have less access to resources and are 
predominantly responsible for meeting household needs. 
Moreover, gender inequalities impact upon economic variables 
such as productivity, economic growth and efficiency. The 
recognition of gender stratification and its impact upon economic 
dynamics has led to a new area of research: feminist economics. 
The impact of feminist economics has been particularly notable in 
the area of development economics. 

Programme
The Diploma programme at the ISS is a six-week intensive 
course. After an introduction into feminist economic methodology, 
which introduces gender into economics, the course will focus on 
major topics in micro- and macroeconomics, including quantitative 
analyses in computer labs. The block on feminist development 
microeconomics includes topics such as intrahousehold relations 
and the theory of choice; gender and the theory of the firm; labour 
market segmentation; asymmetrical asset and capital markets; 
engendering market failure; and gender budgeting. The block on 
feminist development macro economics includes topics such as 
the circular flow in the economy, including the unpaid care 
economy; gender-aware economic indicators; gendered effects of 
public finance, monetary policy and stabilization; gendered effects 
of structural adjustment; gender dimensions of the business cycle, 
growth and productivity; and gender dimensions of international 
trade and international capital flows.

Teaching methods
The course will have some formal lectures. However, many of 
the scheduled hours will be organised around the discussion of 
case studies and student-led learning activities, including an 
individual final paper. This will be done to ensure that all students 
will go through the necessary stages of being able to elaborate the 
gender critique of economics, to engender economic analysis both 
qualitatively and quantitatively, and to develop gender-aware 
economic policy suggestions. Following this methodology, the 
programme will develop a feminist development economic 
analysis that complements neoclassical theory as well as providing 
a feminist development economics analysis that strengthens post-
Keynesian, Marxian and institutional economic theories. 

Requirements
Participants in this programme are economists that work for 
international development organisations, government agencies and 
NGOs, as well as academics, who want to better understand the 
gendered character of economies as well as seek to develop 
economic policies that are gender-aware. In addition, the course is 
geared towards economic students at the MA or PhD levels that 
seek to complement their studies with feminist analysis. 
Applicants must have an internationally recognised Bachelor's 
Degree in economics, and preferably have some basic knowledge 
of gender studies or women and development studies.

Practical issues
The course will be delivered at the Institute of Social Studies in 
the Hague (the Netherlands) in the period 12 May - 20 June 
2003. The course staff consists of dr. Irene van Staveren and dr. 
Haroon Akram-Lodhi, as well as invited speakers (including prof. 
dr. Diane Elson and dr. Geske Dijkstra). The fee is 2,200 Euro. 
Application deadline: 1 March 2003. For further information about 
the ISS and the diploma programmes please check the ISS
