Diversity, equity, and inclusion in economics and computation

Abstract

SIGecom embraces diversity, fosters mutual understanding and respect, and recognizes the inherent dignity of every person and group [sig 2020]. Over the years, the SIG has taken many measures towards these objectives, including establishing SafeEC, creating a virtual conference format designed to ease participation across time zones, and launching a Global Outreach program to increase participation of low- and middle-income countries [Immorlica et al. 2019].
