本文探讨了在学术劳动力市场中观察到的性别等级分布主要由两个因素解释的可能性。首先，男性和女性学者的平均特征不同，其次，女性晋升的障碍。尽管对个人属性进行了详细的控制，包括职业生涯中断和出版历史，但男性学者更有可能出现在更高的年级。从研究人员晋升为讲师对妇女来说是一个相对较高的障碍。有证据表明，最初的安置和大学之间的流动过程有助于男性在获得级别方面的优势。版权所有2001年苏格兰经济学会。
This paper examines the possibility that the gender rank distribution observed in the academic labour market is predominantly explained by two factors. First, the differing average characteristics of male and female academics, and second, barriers to female promotion. Despite detailed controls for personal attributes, including career breaks and publication history, male academics are more likely to be found in higher grades. Promotion from researcher to lecturer is a relatively high hurdle for women. Evidence suggests that initial placement and the process of moving between universities contributes to the male advantage in rank attainment. Copyright 2001 by Scottish Economic Society.
