Women in Economics

Dear readers,

We are delighted to introduce you the 23rd issue of the TSEconomist. I want to thank our readers for their support and feedback. This magazine belongs to the all the students and if we manage to give our best in each issue it is because of you.

Before the Economics Nobel prize was announced, we decided to focus this issue on an often-overlooked topic, “the role of women in economics”. This becomes even more relevant now that the prize was given, for the second time in history, to a woman. Inside you will find articles showing some of the important contributions that women have given to the economics field and about their (under) representation in economics research. In our own small way through encouragement and recognition we can help change this.

A subtle change can be seen in the cover, where we are introducing a new logo to be in line with the new TSE brand. It is the first time we change the logo of the magazine and it was a difficult choice that the whole team made together. Keeping with our efforts at supporting campus life, you will find articles from the carriers and research teams of TSE.

We want to thank both teams for their long-running collaboration with the magazine. In the French section you will find articles about art (“Le problème de l'art contemporain”) and environment (“Taxe carbone et redistribution”). Traditionally we have been an English-speaking magazine, but we are eager to expand our French section, so do not

hesitate to send us your contribution! These articles are just a preview of this issue, along with our usual professional content on internships and gap years, and campus life.

Thanks for reading and enjoy

Nicolás Martínez
