本文使用来自36个国家的25000多名个体的代表性数据集，为竞争偏好的性别差异提供了新的经验证据。实证结果表明，在几乎所有国家，竞争偏好的性别差异在统计上都很显著，平均而言，妇女对竞争性情况的偏好低于男子。尽管在大多数国家，性别差异相对较大，但各国之间的差异程度却大不相同。回归分析的结果表明，即使控制了一些潜在的相关变量，性别差异仍然存在。此外，成年男女之间的性别差异几乎不受生命周期阶段的影响。
This article provides new empirical evidence on gender differences in competitive preferences using a representative data set of more than 25 000 individuals from 36 countries. The empirical results show that the gender differences in competitive preferences are statistically significant in almost all countries, with women having, on average, a lower preference for competitive situations than men. Although relatively substantial in most countries, the magnitude of gender differences varies considerably between countries. Results of a regression analysis suggest that the gender differences persist even when controlling for a number of potentially relevant variables. Furthermore, gender differences among adult men and women are hardly affected by the stage of life cycle.
