Are women less persistent? Evidence from submissions to a nationwide meeting of economics

Abstract: Female underrepresentation in high-profile career positions has relevant impacts on firms' outcomes and public policies. In the academic profession, women's participation decreases as they evolve in their career. To understand the lack of women in the field of economics in Brazil, we investigate the decision to submit papers to the largest conference in the country (Brazilian Meeting of Economics), as an important achievement in the profession. We explore a novel panel dataset of researchers and match them wit… Show more

“…Pairing a laboratory experiment with evidence from a large‐scale math competition in the field, Buser and Yuan (2019) show that women are less likely than men to choose to compete again after a loss. Subsequent work has found similar results across a range of field settings of interest, including college entry exams, conference submissions, math competitions, and politics (Brown et al., 2019; Ellison & Swanson, 2018; Fang et al., 2021; Kang et al., 2021; Pereda et al., 2023; Wasserman, 2023). Relatedly, Gill and Prowse (2014) find that women exert less effort after competitive losses relative to men, and Shastry et al.…”

“…A diferença de gênero em termos de produtividade acadêmica é fato estabelecido e já comprovado pela literatura internacional (STEPHAN, 2010). Ainda que tenha ocorrido algum progresso nas últimas décadas, as desigualdades de gênero persistem na academia e na pesquisa (PINHO-GOMES et al, 2020), sendo até mais expressiva dentre os pesquisadores sêniores (VALENTOVA et al, 2017).…”

“…No trabalho de Pinho-Gomes et al (2020) é chamada a atenção para as atividades de pesquisa que estariam sub-representadas, em especial, aquelas relacionadas à covid-19. A sub-representação das pesquisadoras indica a sub-representação de questões relevantes para as mulheres na pesquisa, gerando lacunas sobre o entendimento da covid-19.…”
