This seemed like a particularly opportune context in which to present some of the theoretical macroeconomic modeling work that the CWE-GAM has supported, as the Easterns have typically included sessions on gender, and sessions on macroeconomics, but nearly none that bring work on the two topics together. The panel we organized was entitled, \u201cEmbedding Gender and Care in Macromodeling,\u201d and included three presentations drawing from papers completed in the first year of the project: (1) Elissa Braunstein on \u201cEstimating Social Reproduction in Economic Growth\u201d; (2) Ramaaa Vasudevan on \u201cMicrofinance and the Care Economy\u201d; and (3) James Heintz on \u201cEndogenous Growth, Population Dynamics, and Returns to Scale: Long-Run Macroeconomics when Demography Matters\u201d.
