Abstract

To better understand the stalled progress of women in economics, we construct new data on women’s representation and research output in one of the largest policy institutions—the Federal Reserve System. We document a slight increase in women’s representation over the past 20 years, in line with academic trends. We also document a significant gender gap in research output, including for years in which economists have greater domestic responsibilities, but nearly absent gender gaps in policy output and career progression. This work complements existing research on women in academia, allowing a more comprehensive examination of progress in the economics profession.

联邦储备系统中的性别差距

为了更好地理解女性在经济领域停滞不前的进展，我们构建了关于女性在最大的政策机构之一——联邦储备系统中的代表性和研究成果的新数据。我们发现，在过去的20年里，女性的代表人数略有增加，这与学术趋势一致。我们还记录了研究产出方面的显著性别差距，包括经济学家承担更多家庭责任的年份，但在政策产出和职业发展方面几乎没有性别差距。这项工作补充了现有的关于学术界女性的研究，使人们能够更全面地考察经济学专业的进展。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Economic Behavior and Organization is devoted to theoretical and empirical research concerning economic decision, organization and behavior and to economic change in all its aspects. Its specific purposes are to foster an improved understanding of how human cognitive, computational and informational characteristics influence the working of economic organizations and market economies and how an economy structural features lead to various types of micro and macro behavior, to changing patterns of development and to institutional evolution. Research with these purposes that explore the interrelations of economics with other disciplines such as biology, psychology, law, anthropology, sociology and mathematics is particularly welcome.
