#49: Gender Diversity in Irish Economics (ISWE Panel II)
<p>This is the final episode in conjunction with the Irish Society for Women in Economics (ISWE). This episode features a panel discussion on gender diversity in the Irish Economics Profession. I am joined by Dr. Margaret Samahita, Assistant Professor at UCD; Dr. Kevin Devereux, Assistant Professor at Peking University; and Míde Griffin, now based at the European University Institute in Florence but who was a research assistant with the ESRI at the time of recording. The conversation revolves around some research being carried out by Marageret and Kevin on gender diversity in Irish economics, with some additional insight offered by Míde. I hope you enjoy the conversation. </p><br><p>The papers discussed can be found here: </p><p>Are economics conferences gender-neutral?

#48: Environment and Wellbeing: Dr. Kate Laffan (LSE)
This is the third episode in our special series in association with the Irish Society for Women in Economics (ISWE). I am joined by Kate Laffan to discuss the environment and wellbeing. Kate is an Assistant Professor in Behavioural Science at the London School of Economics. Prior to that, Kate was a Marie Curie Fellow at UCD. Kate has done much work on the environment and how it impacts our welfare and general wellbeing. This is a very interesting conversation that took place some time ago as we were emerging from lockdown, so hopefully none of the lockdown fatigue comes through! I hope you enjoy the discussion. <hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.

#47: Can onerous form-filling have economic consequences? Administrative Burdens - Lucie Martin (UCD)
<p>I am joined by Lucie Martin, PhD candidate at University College Dublin, to discuss administrative burdens. If I were to distil administrative burdens into a single sentence it would be the burden created by onerous form-filling or other administrative tasks.</p><br><p> We all know the pain that comes with having to fill out yet another form or go through a seemingly unnecessary administrative process, but the research by Lucie and others suggests that this can create barriers for many to access certain benefits or services. Lucie takes us through the mechanisms of how this plays out. </p><br><p>This is one of those great podcast topics. It is something that I was previously unaware of but when the concept was explained to me, I found it instantly relatable and wanted to find out more. I hope you share the same enthusiasm! </p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
