This work has been performed by the OECD Competition Division under the OECD Directorate for Financial and Enterprise Affairs. The Toolkit, funded by the Canadian Government, was prepared by Nadia Vassos, Lynn Robertson and Carolina Abate with comments from Ori Schwartz and Antonio Capobianco. Particular recognition goes to Chris Pike and Estefania Santacreu Vasut who launched this work at the OECD Global Forum on Competition in 2018 with their seminal paper on competition and gender. Infographics were created by Erica Agostinho who also prepared the toolkit for publication. The work was carried out under the supervision of Ori Schwartz. Valuable comments and support were provided by Ellen Creighton and her colleagues of Canadian Competition Bureau.
The OECD team would like to thank those who authored the over 60 proposals received when this project was launched. We would also like to extend our appreciation to the growing community who have picked up the work on competition and gender and keep us informed of their publications and progress.
Finally, the authors thank colleagues across the OECD who shared their work on gender and provided valuable insights into its application within the context of competition.
