Lessons from the Glass Ceiling and the Black Box

Abstract

Three struggling communities of scholars-women in economics, regional economists, forecasters. I stand at the intersection of these three sets; I a female regional economic forecaster. Three strikes and you're out comes ominously to mind. One obvious question to ask is, "Why did I make all these absurd career decisions?" A second is "How did I survive?" We'll sidestep the first question, as it is perhaps more appropriate for a professional meeting of psychoanalysts. Survival is a more interesting topic for regional science at the present time and it is certainly a hotly debated one: Has it survived? Will it survive?
