Ana Gouvea Abras Federal University of ABC (UFABC) Merges and Acquisitions and Gender Inequality in Banking Jobs: Did the Tide Lift all Boats? Presentation of the paper written by Ana Abras (UFABC), Ana C.P. Fava (UFABC), Camila F.S. Campos (University of Milano-Bicocca), and Bruno de Paula Rocha (UFABC). Our article studies labor market discrimination and gender inequality in the financial sector jobs in Brazil. Banking and finance are sectors traditionally associated with male workers, despite the increase in women’s participation in the last two decades. We use a series of events of Mergers and Acquisitions in the largest private banks in Brazil to estimate the impact of changes in sector competition on gender gaps in wages, turnover rates, and management positions.

Tuesday, April 11th 12:00 PM - 1:30 PM Coble Hall, Room 306 (801 S. Wright St.) Mark Tonelli Millikin University An American in Brazil In this presentation, Mark will discuss the deep cultural immersion and life-changing experience of being an American living and working among the people of Brazil: the initial shock of living in a foreign country and adapting to a new culture, teaching every day in his second language of Portuguese, traveling throughout Brazil to perform and lecture, coming into contact with some of the musicians and places from his research component, and the equally profound reverse culture shock of returning to the U.S. after almost half a year in Brazil. In addition, Mark will discuss what it was like to return months later with his students on their historic trip to Brazil.
