在过去20年中，授予妇女经济学博士学位的比例有所增加。这篇文章认为，女性博士学位。经济学家在学术界的代表性有所增加，特别是在更高的终身职位上。我们的研究借鉴了20世纪90年代的几种经验方法和多个数据集。我们发现，与其他学科相比，经济学领域的女性获得终身教职的可能性更低，而且需要更长的时间才能实现这一目标。尽管生产力方面的性别差异和子女对晋升的影响部分解释了女性获得经济学终身教职的机会较少，但很大一部分性别晋升差距仍然无法用可观察到的特征来解释。
The percentage of economics doctorates awarded to women has increased over the past twenty years. This article considers whether women Ph.D. economists have increased their representation in academia, particularly at higher tenured ranks. Our study draws upon several empirical approaches and multiple data sets for the 1990s. We find that when compared with other academic disciplines, women in economics are less likely to get tenure and take longer to achieve it. Although gender differences in productivity and the effect of children on promotion partly explain women's lesser chances of receiving tenure in economics, a significant portion of the gender promotion gap remains unexplained by observable characteristics.
