Gender homophily, collaboration, and output
研究了经济学中性别同质性对合作和科研产出的影响,发现性别同质性并未限制合作或降低产出质量,仅增加女性数量不足以解决性别不平等。
We consider the implications of gender homophily in Economics, which has persisted despite the significant increase in women in the field. With women still underrepresented, gender homophily could hinder collaboration. Additionally, it may result in less gender-diverse co-author teams, potentially diminishing research quality. Our findings reveal that gender homophily does not limit collaboration or reduce output quality. Merely increasing the number of women in Economics may not suffice to address entrenched gender disparities.
