Working Papers - Economic Freedom and Women Project
In addition to conducting our own research, the Bridwell Institute for Economic Freedom periodically commissions research from other scholars. The research listed on this page is part of a multi-year project on women and economic freedom. From the beginning, this project was designed to be more than an academic exercise.
Scholars in this project have presented this research on multiple public panels, and a select number of papers form the basis of a policy brief for the Policy Circle, an all-female discussion group dedicated to empowering women to speak up on policy issues. The Bridwell Institute is very grateful to the Braly Family Foundation for their support of this project.
