研究经济学博士毕业生的合著行为及其与科研产出和职业发展的关系,发现性别差异显著:女性与男性或导师合著时,在晋升中获得的认可较少。
Abstract We examine determinants of coauthorship behavior and how coauthorship relates to research productivity and other career outcomes for academic economists. We supplement a unique dataset containing economics Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) graduates' demographic, PhD program, advisor, and other characteristics with measures of their coauthorship behavior and research productivity. Significant gender differences in the formation and effects of coauthorship are found. Students with female advisors and women from lower‐ranked programs had a higher propensity to coauthor, and coauthorship is associated with more research output and more publications in top economics journals. However, women received less credit toward tenure when coauthoring with men or advisors.
