Women In Economics

This is about women in the economics profession.

Studies Done on Women in Economics

In 2015 Harvard researcher Heather Sarsons published a paper on whether coauthored papers and the effect gender of the authors might effect tenure. The paper found that there was an 8% increase in the probability of a male economist getting a tenured post with a co-authored paper on their resume, but only a 2% increase for female economists.^[1]

In 2017 Alice Wu, an undergraduate at University of California, Berkeley, published a study.^[2]The study used natural language processing to look at a website EconJobRumors.com, an online forum used by academic economist to discuss job openings and candidates. The studies findings show that when posters on the site discussed female economists they tended to discuss the women's appearance, in contrast when discussing male economist they tended to use terms emphasizing there intellectual abilities.^[3]

Amount of Women In Undergraduate and Graduate Economic Programs in the United States

The amount of undergraduate women majoring in economics in the United States peaked in the mid to late 1990's and has decreased since. Women earn the majority of undergraduate degrees in the United States, but in 2016 only 35% of economic majors were women. This is the same amount of undergraduate economic degrees awarded to women in the early 1980's.^[4]

In 2016 the share of women in PhD economics programs was 31%. This share has not increased in the last 20 years.^[5]
