Abstract

Why do women leave economics so that there is a “leaky pipeline”? I synthesize the research on the gender disparities in the profession and examine this topic further by interviewing women who work in or who have left the profession. I find that structural theories of inequality explain these patterns: women are perceived and treated differently in economics. They are less likely to be respected, valued, and supported and to receive recognition for their work. Consequently, they are less likely to publish, receive tenure and promotion, and stay in the profession. JEL Classification: J7, J10

经济学中的性别问题

为什么女性会离开经济学，以至于有一条“漏水的管道”?我综合了关于该行业性别差异的研究，并通过采访在该行业工作或离开该行业的女性来进一步研究这一主题。我发现不平等的结构理论解释了这些模式:在经济学中，女性被不同地看待和对待。他们不太可能受到尊重、重视和支持，也不太可能因为他们的工作而得到认可。因此，他们不太可能发表论文、获得终身职位和晋升，也不太可能留在这个行业。JEL分类:J7、J10

期刊介绍： The Review of Radical Political Economics (RRPE) promotes critical inquiry into all areas of economic, social, and political reality. As the journal of the Union for Radical Political Economics, RRPE publishes innovative research in political economy broadly defined including, but not confined to, Marxian economies, post-Keynesian economics, Sraffian economics, feminist economics, and radical institutional economics. We are actively seeking submissions concerned with policy, history of thought, and economics and the environment. RRPE reflects an interdisciplinary approach to the study, development, and application of radical political economic analysis to social problems.
