“…The care economy includes paid and unpaid childcare and healthcare, as well as social care, such as for the dependent elderly or disabled, but these activities are included in measures of the economy only when care work involves a monetary transaction (Folbre, 2015; Van De Ven and Zwijnenburg, 2016). Marilyn Waring has famously described this economic accounting system as ‘applied patriarchy’ (Dalziel and Saunders, 2019; Saunders and Dalziel, 2016), and recently called for abandoning the economic paradigm that gives rise to it (Waring, 2018).…”

In the COVID-19 pandemic, people’s dwellings suddenly became a predominant site of economic activity. We argue that, predictably, policy-makers and employers took the home for granted as a background support of economic life. Acting as if home is a cost-less resource that is free for appropriation in an emergency, ignoring how home functions as a site of gendered relations of care and labour, and assuming home is a largely harmonious site, all shaped the invisibility of the imposition. Taking employee flexibility for granted and presenting work-from-home as a privilege offered by generous employers assumed rapid adaptation. As Australia emerges from lockdown, ‘building back better’ to meet future shocks entails better supporting adaptive capabilities of workers in the care economy, and of homes that have likewise played an unacknowledged role as buffer and shelter for the economy. Investing in infrastructure capable of providing a more equitable basis for future resilience is urgent to reap the benefits that work-from-home offers. This article points to the need for rethinking public investment and infrastructure priorities for economic recovery and reconstruction in the light of a gender perspective on COVID-19 ‘lockdown’ experience.

“…Even though many organization and management studies are presented by their authors as being "gender-neutral", they lean towards favouring the masculine, based on implicit gendered assumptions of men and women (Beaudry & Larivière, 2016;Koveshnikov et al, 2019). For instance, in the case of economics, women are under-represented in knowledge production process, and in research leadership roles, as well as in editorial board of influential JCR journals (Dalziel & Saunders, 2019;Pearse et al, 2019). However, other authors found that the involvement of women in research leadership roles (or as principal investigators) is similar to the percentage of women existing in each of the departments or areas of the university ( Clemente-Gallardo et al, 2019).…”

The economic, social and legal development of contemporary society, the globalization of economies and the complexity of businesses have led to an increase in the importance of financial information in substantiating decisions. More and more fierce competition, specific to the market economy and the pursuit of profit maximization as the goal of any business, involve inherent risks that entrepreneurs try to avoid as much as possible. Users confidence in the accounting information increases when the entity's financial statements are subject to an audit engagement, but the auditor is subject to risks that may affect the quality of his work. The study's finding highlights the importance of understanding and adopting ethical principles by all involved participants. It shows that the independence of the auditor is a principle that can easily be violated if the manager's influence is high and the consequences on the audit report lead to manipulated accounting information. Quantitative research was carried out on a sample of 100 auditors, members of Chamber of Financial Auditors of Romania, from the South Muntenia region, using the survey technique and the questionnaire as a research tool.

“…A founding example is Marilyn Waring’s (1988) book, If Women Counted: A New Feminist Economics , which demonstrated the limitations of gross domestic product (GDP) for economic policy design some 20 years before the Stiglitz et al (2009) report just cited. Waring’s analysis continues to have impact (Bjørnholt and McKay, 2013; Saunders and Dalziel, 2017; Waring, 2018; Dalziel and Saunders, 2019). Indeed, a recent tribute observes that ‘since 1988, a distinctively Australian scholarship has emerged, influenced by Marilyn Waring’s work’ (Grace and Craig, 2013: 215, emphasis added).…”

The ‘Wellbeing Budget’ presented to the New Zealand Parliament in 2019 was widely described as a world-first. This article explores the possibility of a distinctive Australasian contribution to our understanding of wellbeing economics in public policy. The introduction section presents an analytical wellbeing framework showing how human actions draw on services provided by the country’s capital stocks to create and sustain personal and communal wellbeing. The second section chronicles some landmark policy initiatives in Australia and New Zealand for understanding and monitoring wellbeing, culminating in the Wellbeing Budget. The third section highlights four areas for further development: (1) the role of family wellbeing in intergenerational wellbeing, (2) the role of cultural capital in providing foundations for future wellbeing, (3) the role of Indigenous worldviews in enriching understandings of wellbeing and (4) the role of market enterprise in expanding capabilities for wellbeing. These are all areas where Australasian researchers have demonstrated expertise. JEL Codes: I31, I38, B54
