The third strategy that has shown favorable results is targeted mentoring. The American Economic Association’s Committee on the Status of Women in the Economics Profession has conducted two-day mentoring workshops since 2004. The program is often oversubscribed, which allowed the group to conduct an RCT to study the effects of participating in the mentoring activities. Three years after the mentoring workshops, participants in the program had more publications overall, and also more publications in top-tier journals compared to the control group (Blau et al., 2010). The results of the follow-up study are summarized in Chapter 17 of the edited volume. Ginther, Currie, Blau, and Croson found that participation in the mentoring workshop increased the probability of receiving tenure at a top-50 ranked institution by 9.0 percentage points (p. 126). Buckles describes these interventions as “promising” and “for which the evidence of efficacy is strong, and the estimated benefits are large relative to their costs” (p. 131). In sum, this edited volume provides an excellent overview of the history of women’s struggle to earn equal treatment in the field of economics, challenges and biases that persist, and strategies that have shown potential in advancing women through the academic pipeline in economics. I highly recommend this volume to both experts and non-experts. Perhaps this second gender awakening will move the field closer to the goal of achieving a more supportive and inclusive environment for all of its practitioners, both male and female.","PeriodicalId":85623,"journal":{"name":"The American economist","volume":"67 1","pages":"152 - 155"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-07-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1177/05694345211035460","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45086575","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
