Julie Nelson (economist)

Julie Nelson (economist)

Julie A. Nelson is a feminist economist, most known for her application of feminist theory to questions of the definition of the discipline of economics, and its models and methodology. Nelson received her Ph.D. degree in Economics from the University of Wisconsin-Madison. [ Interview: Julie Nelson: What is Feminist Economics All About, "Challenge: The Magazine of Economic Affairs", January-February 1996, pp. 4-8]

"Beyond Economic Man: Feminist Theory and Economics", a 1993 book Nelson co-edited with Marianne A. Ferber, has been called a 'landmark' [Coughlin, Ellen K. 1993. Feminist Economists vs. ‘Economic Man’: Questioning a Field’s Bedrock Concepts, "The Chronicle of Higher Education", June 30, A8. ] and the 'manifesto' of feminist economics. [Steinberger, Michael. 1998. The Second Sex and the Dismal Science: The Rise of Feminist Economics, "Lingua Franca", November, p. 57. ] A follow-up volume, "Feminist Economics Today", summarizes the development of the field over the following ten years [Jacobsen, Joyce P. Review of "Feminist Economics Today". "Journal of Economic Literature", XLIII, March 2005, pp. 138-140. ] Nelson is author or co-author of four additional books and numerous academic articles on both feminist theory and the empirical study of household behavior. Her 2007 book "Economics for Humans" dismisses the view that markets are inexorable 'machines' and discusses how a better understanding of the relation of economics and values could improve both business and care work. [Allemang, John. Review of "Economics for Humans", "The Globe and Mail", October 9, 2006. ]

Nelson was a founding member of the International Association for Feminist Economics and is an Associate Editor of the journal [http://www.feministeconomics.org/ "Feminist Economics"] . Nelson started her career at the United States Bureau of Labor Statistics, subsequently became a tenured Associate Professor at the University of California Davis, and then moved to the Boston, Massachusetts area where she is currently a Senior Research Associate with the Global Development and Environment Institute.
