Gender sorting among economists: Evidence from the NBER
نویسندگان
چکیده
I compare the co-authorship patterns of male and female economists, using historical data on National Bureau Economic Research working papers. Men tended to work in smaller teams than women, but co-authored more papers so had co-authors overall. Both men women same-gender we would expect if co-authorships were random. This was especially true for Macro/Finance.

We also show that eliciting this type of sorting b...
متن کاملGender Sorting at the Application Interface
We document gender sorting of candidates into gender-typed jobs at the point of initial application to a company. At this step of the hiring process, the firm has implemented a policy whereby organizational screeners’ discretion has been eliminated such that there is no opportunity for contact between hiring agents and applicants. Thus, the job choices studied here offer unique insight as they ...
