作者使用美国经济协会成员的独特面板数据来测试晋升的性别差异，该职业具有明确的晋升和工作等级，并且男性和女性表现出类似的劳动力市场依恋。结果表明，从20世纪60年代到80年代初，女性经济学家的专业成就和职业发展水平低于具有类似属性的男性同事。尽管控制了未观察到的异质性和学术和非学术工作之间的自我选择，这些性别差异仍然很明显。然而，有证据表明，在20世纪80年代，女性经济学家的晋升前景得到了显著改善，不仅在所有级别，而且在博士和博士学位中也是如此。授予机构和非博士学位-授予机构。事实上，结果显示，到1980年代末，在晋升方面没有无法解释的性别差异。
The authors use unique panel data on American Economic Association members to test for gender differences in promotion in a profession with a well-defined promotion and job hierarchy and in which men and women exhibit similar labor-market attachment. The results suggest that over the period from the 1960s through the early 1980s, female economists had lower levels of professional attainment and career advancement than did their male colleagues with similar attributes. These gender differences remain in evidence despite controls for unobserved heterogeneity and self-selection between academic and non-academic jobs. There is evidence, however, that promotion prospects for female economists significantly improved during the 1980s, not only at all ranks, but also within both Ph.D.-granting institutions and non-Ph.D.-granting institutions. In fact, the results reveal no unexplained gender-specific differences in promotion by the end of the 1980s.
