Recognition for Group Work: Gender Differences in Academia
研究了在无法观察个人贡献时，性别如何影响团队工作的信用分配，发现女性合著越多越难获得终身教职，而男性不受影响。
How is credit for group work allocated when individual contributions are not observed? I use data on academics' publication records to test whether demographic traits like gender influence how credit is allocated under such uncertainty. While solo-authored papers send a clear signal about ability, coauthored papers are noisy, providing no specific information about each contributor's skills. I find that men are tenured at roughly the same rate regardless of coauthoring choices. Women, however, are less likely to receive tenure the more they coauthor. The result is much less pronounced among women who coauthor with other women.
