Women and people of color are notoriously underrepresented in economics. Only 14% of full professors are women, and one survey found only 1.6% Black faculty in the economics departments of the 30 highest-ranked universities.

AstraZeneca vaccine halt could slow Asia's economic recovery: Moody's Analytics
SINGAPORE — Asia's economic recovery could slow down as more countries suspend the use of the Covid-19 vaccine developed by AstraZeneca and the University of Oxford, warned the chief Asia-Pacific economist of Moody's Analytics.
"It adds some modest risk to the role that Asia plays in terms of the global economic turnaround," Steve Cochrane told CNBC's "Squawk Box Asia" on Tuesday.
"There's a possibility it could put a dent in terms of global trade if the vaccine rollout is delayed in Europe and that were to mean that there were some more extensive lockdowns on the economy in Europe — then that could slow down the pace of global trade," he explained.

Go small - The new economics of blockbusters | Business | The Economist
The dearth of blockbusters is reshaping box-office economics. Six of last year's top-ten money-makers worldwide were not in English. Five were Chinese and one was Japanese. This reflects Asian countries' ability to contain outbreaks more successfully than most of the West. It also points to another twist. As big productions have retreated, smaller ones have stepped in.
At least five of the ten highest-grossing films of 2020 had budgets under $100m, compared with one in 2019. Many of those lower down the charts did much better than their producers had hoped. In December IFC Films, an independent American studio, predicted that last year would be its most profitable ever. Its films, including "The Rental", a horror flick, had longer theatrical runs in more cinemas than they would have had they been competing for screens with the Avengers.
Economic pain may drive Newsom recall | CalMatters
A year after COVID-19 hit California, its economic impacts remain heavy and could be a factor in the recall campaign against Gov. Gavin Newsom.
While boasting about how California — and he — have handled the COVID-19 pandemic in his State of the State address this month, Gov. Gavin Newsom virtually ignored its severe economic impacts, offering only this tepid statement:
"California has the most innovation, venture capital, and small-business investment in this country. We will keep fostering every small entrepreneur — the drivers of our GDP."
The potential economic impact of volcano alerts -- ScienceDaily
A team of geoscientists and statistical experts examined the historical relationship between volcano alerts issued by the United States Geological Survey (USGS) and regional economic growth for three of the country's most dangerous volcanoes: Washington State's Mount St. Helens, Hawaii's Kīlauea, and California's Long Valley Caldera.
They analyzed the effect of VALs and their predecessors (such as hazard alerts and volcano alerts) on local housing prices and business patterns over a 42-year period, from 1974 to 2016. The economic indicators used in the analysis included annual housing price, number of business establishments per 1,000 square kilometers, the number of employees per 1,000 inhabitants, and payroll per employee.
