We support the AEA’s decision to accept Lawrence H. Summers’ resignation and impose a lifetime ban. This is about putting the AEA Code of Conduct into practice and rebuilding trust for students and mentees. www.aeaweb.org/news/aea-sta...

Larry Summers’ sexism is jeopardizing his power and privilege, but the entire economics profession hinders progress for women In 2024, only about 1 in 3 newly minted economics Ph.D.s were women.

Excellent op-ed from @yanarodgers.bsky.social placing the Summers scandal---and the lifetime ban announced today by the AEA---in context.
theconversation.com/larry-summer...

The AEA has imposed a lifetime ban on Lawrence H. Summers’ membership and participation in AEA activities. See the full statement here. www.aeaweb.org/news/aea-sta...

CSWEP News Issue IV, "Focus on Fertility" by @caitlinmyers.bsky.social is out now. www.aeaweb.org/content/file...

We call on other institutions in the economics profession to take these revelations seriously, to open an independent investigation into Summers’ conduct, and to reconsider his access to the platforms and networks that he has been afforded for too long.

Women in economics have unfortunately become accustomed to dealing with sexism and harassment in the workplace. This reduces women’s productivity and limits their success and should never be tolerated.

CSWEP strongly condemns Larry Summers’ behavior as revealed in the email correspondence with the late Jeffrey Epstein. While abuse of power in the economics profession is not new, rarely has the intent behind such abuse been so clearly stated.

CSWEP hosts the 14 Annual Mentoring Breakfast for Junior Economists to be held on Saturday, January 3, 8:00 AM – 10:00 AM in Liberty A&B, Marriott Philadelphia at the 2026 AEA Meetings. Registration is now open. www.aeaweb.org/about-aea/co...
