DIW Berlin, FU Berlin, HU Berlin, Uni Potsdam and WZB jointly organized the "2nd Berlin Workshop on Public Economics – Gender Economics". The aim of this workshop was to bring together an international group of labor and experimental economists to present and discuss on a variety of topics, including:

• Dynamics of gender gaps in education and labor market outcomes
• Interactions between gender norms, institutions and economic outcomes
• The role of the firm and technology
• The nature of discrimination and implicit biases
• The role of gender stereotypes, norms or identity in economic decision making
• Labour Market Determinants and Consequences of Domestic Violence

The keyenote address was given by Prof. Dr. Iris Bohnet (Harvard University) about her work on "What Works: Gender Equality by Design". 

After two days full of interesting presentations and conversations, the participants, as well as the organizers, were highly satisfied with the outcomes of this workshop. Also on social media, especially Twitter, the event had a great reception, with the hashtag #BerlinGenderEcon22 reaching more than 120k users.
