Invisible hurdles: Gender and institutional differences in the evaluation of economics papers
通过让期刊编辑评审单作者论文摘要，并随机改变作者姓名和机构的可见性，发现女性经济学家和顶尖机构的经济学家分别从姓名和机构可见性中获益，而顶尖机构的男性经济学家在非盲评中受益最大。
Abstract How might the visibility of an author's name and/or institutional affiliation allow bias to enter the evaluation of economics papers? We ask highly qualified journal editors to review abstracts of solo‐authored papers which differ along the dimensions of gender and institution of the author. We exogenously vary whether editors observe the name and/or institution of the author. We identify positive name visibility effects for female economists and positive institution visibility effects for economists at the top institutions. Our results suggest that male economists at top institutions benefit the most from non‐blind evaluations, followed by female economists (regardless of their institution).
