Gender, money and finance

48th OeNB Economics Conference of the Oesterreichische Nationalbank in cooperation with SUERF – The European Money and Finance Forum and the Joint Vienna Institute (JVI).
This conference deals with selected gender-related topics in economic policy, money and finance.

• Does gender diversity in key positions affect economic outcomes, both at the macro and micro levels?
• Is economic policy decision-making gender specific? Are there typical gender-specific decision and behavioural patterns?
• Would a balanced gender mix in policy institutions such as central banks make for different / better decisions, e. g. due to greater diversity of views?
• Is risk behaviour gender-specific? Would a balanced gender mix make the financial system safer?
• How does gender affect perceptions of economic reality, including inflation, how does gender affect financial literacy, for what reasons, and what implications can we draw from differences?
