About the course
GENDER, POLITICS AND POLICIES
In spite of the substantial increase of women's participation in education and labour market, gender gaps still persist in our societies. On one side, we observe differences in employment rates and wages between men and women, especially for women with children. On the other side, women are under-represented in economic decision-making. The glass ceiling is still very real both in the realm of firms and in politics.
This course provides an empirical and theoretical overview of the main policies which aim at reducing gender gaps. Among them, we will analyze gender quotas, which, while being a quite controversial measure, have proved efficacy in breaking persistent glass ceilings. We will also analyze the political economy side of gender equality, looking at the consequences of women's empowerment on public policies. Finally, we will explore the role of gender culture as a main determinant of gender gaps and their differences across countries, and a crucial factor when evaluating the role of policies.

About the course
Why so much interest in Inflation-Forecast-Targeting (IFT)? IFT regimes are the most transparent group of inflation-targeting (IT) central banks (Adrian, Laxton and Obstfeld, 2018). Experienced IFT central banks have been outperforming their peers in terms of anchoring long-term inflation expectations and managing the short-run output-inflation tradeoff. This course is designed for people that are interested in learning about monetary policy and IFT regimes. Participants will be taught the principles of monetary policy and IFT regimes. Each of them will be assigned 2 central banks as case studies and be expected to construct measures of transparency and evaluate their performance in anchoring long-term inflation expectations and managing the short-run output-inflation tradeoff. Each day will consist of lectures followed by guided hands-on working sessions. Participants will be expected to prepare a presentation and present their findings on the last day.
Day 1: Principles of Inflation-Forecast Targeting (Adrian, Laxton and Obstfeld, 2018)
Day 2: A New Index of Transparency with Application to the Czech Republic (Al-Mashat and others, 2018)
Day 3: Presentation by Participants on Country-Case Applications (Canada, Chile, New Zealand, and the United States)
