99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
When you do economic research,
you have three pieces.

2
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
I think of them as balls

3
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
that I want floating up
all the time.

4
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
I'm juggling them,

5
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
and one of them is the idea.

6
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
I have to begin with
"What's the question,

7
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
what's important?"

8
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
- [Narrator] Economists!

9
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Not a group with a lot
of Marys, Natashas, or Juanitas,

10
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
and that's caused
a lot of controversy.

11
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
However, what's often overlooked
are the actual female economists

12
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
who are economics forward
by addressing real world issues.

13
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Welcome to Women in Economics.

14
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
- [Ilyana] One thing I definitely
learned from Claudia

15
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
is to approach economic
research like a detective.

16
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
I think, especially,

17
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
when you're working
with economic history,

18
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
when you can't just download
a cleaned-up dataset.

19
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
You really have to go searching
open, dusty boxes

20
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
and look under tocks.

21
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
- [Lawrence] She is the consummate,
economic historian.

22
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
She has been the innovator and pioneer

23
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
on bringing economical logic
and historical and better data

24
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
to understanding
women's role in the economy,

25
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
and then she is a fantastic
labor economist.
