尽管人们普遍认为，一所大学在科学和工程领域的女性本科生入学率可以通过提高这些领域的女性比例来增加，但这一主张尚未经过认真的统计分析。 本文的作者分析了普林斯顿大学、密歇根大学和惠蒂尔学院这三个截然不同的教育机构的面板数据，以研究学生选择专业时学术部门学生的性别构成与其教师性别构成之间的关系。 他们没有发现任何证据表明院系教员中女性比例的增加会导致该院系女性专业比例的增加。
Although it is widely supposed that a college's female undergraduate enrollment in the sciences and engineering can be increased by raising female representation on the faculties in those fields, that proposition has not been subjected to serious statistical analysis. The authors of this paper analyze panel data from three quite different educational institutions-Princeton University, the University of Michigan, and Whittier College-to examine the relationship between the gender composition of the students in an academic department and the gender composition of its faculty at the time the students were choosing their majors. They find no evidence that an increase in the share of women on a department's faculty led to an increase in its share of female majors.
