摘要本文报道了对顶尖经济学研究生院的调查结果，因为它们涉及到女性和男性。研究结果提供了强有力的证据，表明在这些顶级研究生院，女性研究生比男性研究生更少融入经济学科。在本文的第二部分，本文将这些发现与其他理论联系起来，解释为什么会出现这种情况。本文最后建议，强调理论研究，在目前的核心研究生经济学课程可以被看作是一种欺凌过程，似乎有一个显着的成本，因为许多妇女（和男子）具有很大的创造性的承诺，不鼓励继续在经济学，并没有受益几乎一样多，因为他们会从更多的政策驱动的核心课程。
Abstract This paper reports on the findings of a survey of top economics graduate schools as they relate to women and men. The results provide strong evidence that at these top graduate schools, women graduate students are less integrated in their economic disciplines than are male graduate students. In the second part of the paper, this paper relates those findings to alternative theories as to why this is the case. This paper concludes by suggesting that the emphasis on theoretical studies in the current core of the graduate economics program can be seen as a type of hazing process that seems to have a significant cost since many women (and men) with great creative promise are discouraged from continuing in economics and do not benefit nearly as much as they would have from more policy-driven core courses.
