Gender Differences in Recognition for Group Work
利用经济学家的数据发现,女性合著论文越多,获得终身教职的可能性越低,而男性不受影响;实验进一步证实了性别刻板印象影响团队工作贡献的认可。
We study whether gender influences credit attribution for group work using observational data and two experiments. We use data from academic economists to test whether coauthorship matters differently for tenure for men and women. We find that, conditional on quality and other observables, men are tenured similarly regardless of whether they coauthor or solo author. Women, however, are less likely to receive tenure the more they coauthor. We then conduct two experiments that demonstrate that biases in credit attribution in settings without confounds exist. Taken together, our results are best explained by gender and stereotypes influencing credit attribution for group work.
