在冒险、过度自信和竞争行为方面存在显著的性别差异。然而，由于专业知识往往水平这些差异，我们问金融专家是否仍然显示出性别差异，在他们的决策领域？我们分析了美国649位基金经理的调查回复，德国、意大利和泰国，并发现女性基金经理的行为往往与性别研究的预期一致：她们更厌恶风险，在锦标赛情景中回避竞争。女性过度自信的预期程度较低，但如此之小，以至于在基金管理中变得微不足道。
There are robust gender differences in the domains of risk taking, overconfidence and competition behavior. However, as expertise tends to level these differences, we ask whether financial experts still show gender dissimilarities in their domains of decision making? We analyze survey responses of 649 fund managers in the U.S., Germany, Italy and Thailand, and find that female fund managers tend to behave as expected from gender studies: they are more risk averse and shy away from competition in the tournament scenario. The expected lower degree of overconfidence by women is yet so small that it becomes insignificant in fund management.
