我们研究了父母身份对学院派经济学家研究生产力的影响。结合近10，000名经济学家的调查回复及其RePEc账户中记录的出版记录，我们没有发现母亲与低研究生产率相关。我们也没有发现第一个孩子对研究生产力有统计学意义的无条件影响。然而，有条件的差异中的差异估计表明，父母身份对研究生产力的影响是负面的未婚女性和非终身男性。此外，在30岁之前成为母亲似乎对研究生产力有不利影响。
We examine the effect of parenthood on the research productivity of academic economists. Combining the survey responses of nearly 10,000 economists with their publication records as documented in their RePEc accounts, we do not find that motherhood is associated with low research productivity. Nor do we find a statistically significant unconditional effect of a first child on research productivity. Conditional difference-in-differences estimates, however, suggest that the effect of parenthood on research productivity is negative for unmarried women and positive for untenured men. Moreover, becoming a mother before 30 years of age appears to have a detrimental effect on research productivity.
