Abstract
This paper deals with the question of pluralism in economic policy advise. Based on three empirical examples it is shown that economic policy advise in Germany was not very pluralistic in terms of gender ratio and political-ideological orientation of economists. Recent developments however, point to a slight trend of pluralization in this field.
