===Interdisciplinary data collection=== Many feminist economists challenge the perception that only "objective" (often presumed to be [[quantitative research|quantitative]]) data are valid.<ref name="nelson1"/> Instead, they say economists should enrich their analysis by using data sets generated from other disciplines or through increased use of qualitative methods.<ref>{{cite journal|last=Berik|first=Günseli|title=The Need for Crossing the Method Boundaries in Economics Research|journal=Feminist Economics|date=January 1997|volume=3|issue=2|pages=121–125|doi=10.1080/135457097338735}}</ref> Additionally, many feminist economists propose utilizing non-traditional data collection strategies such as "utilizing growth accounting frameworks, conducting [[empirical]] tests of economic theories, developing country [[case studies]], and pursuing research at the conceptual and empirical levels."<ref name="berik"/> Interdisciplinary data collection looks at systems from a specific moral position and viewpoint instead of attempting the perspective of a neutral observer. The intention is not to create a more "subjective" methodology, but to counter biases in existing methodologies, by recognizing that all explanations for world phenomena arise from socially-influenced viewpoints. Feminist economists say too many theories claim to present universal principles but actually present a masculine viewpoint in the guise of a "[[view from nowhere]]", so more varied sources of data collection are needed to mediate those issues.<ref>{{cite book | last = Nelson | first = Julie | author-link = Julie A.
