The Exploring Gender, Human Capital, and Labour Intersections in Economic History winter school is an interdisciplinary meeting of economists and historians focused on discussing the interplay between gender, human capital, and labour. To understand how these developed over the past centuries, it is necessary to understand how they are linked and interact with each other, as observing them in isolation provides only a partial picture. The winter school will provide a platform for scholars to share research, approaches, and methodologies for studying labour, gender inequalities, and the evolution of human capital. It comprises two days of academic presentations and a one-day methodological workshop. The methodological workshop consists of two parallel sessions: the first will explore the ways in which marginalized groups can be included in linked census datasets, while the second will provide insight into the processes of saving primary source material and establishing a digital archive.

This session explores profit, dividends, and returns over the 19th and 20th centuries. Organizers welcome papers addressing the issue at the country level or from a comparative perspective. Within this framework, potential research avenues are delineated by the examination of economic sectors, large versus small enterprises, domestic versus foreign entities, metropolitan versus colonial establishments, and innovative versus mature businesses. Perspectives that explore technological spillovers, financial cross-country effects, trade, and foreign-direct investments are also encouraged.
