Do Women Give Up Competing More Easily? Evidence from the Lab and the Dutch Math Olympiad
通过实验室实验和荷兰数学奥林匹克竞赛数据，发现女性在输掉竞争后比男性更可能放弃再次竞争，这有助于解释商界和学术界高层女性较少的原因。
We use lab experiments and field data from the Dutch Math Olympiad to show that women are more likely than men to stop competing if they lose. In a math competition in the lab, women are much less likely than men to choose competition again after losing in the first round. In the Math Olympiad, girls, but not boys, who fail to make the second round are less likely to compete again one year later. This gender difference in the reaction to competition outcomes may help to explain why fewer women make it to the top in business and academia.
