摘要

研究表明，女性在 "赢家通吃 "的竞争中表现不如男性，她们往往会完全避免这种竞争，这可能会使女性在劳动力市场中处于明显的劣势。然而，最近的研究对这一观点提出了质疑。测试风险规避行为的一个问题是很难找到人们可以表现出风险规避行为的环境。我们在游戏节目《危险》（Jeopardy）的 "最终危险"（Final Jeopardy）环节中找到了这样的环境！利用《最终危情》中的下注数据，我们发现参加该节目比赛的女性并不比男性更厌恶风险。

I’ll Take Gender Differences for $400: Using Jeopardy! to Analyze Attitudes Toward Risk

Studies have shown that women perform worse than men in winner-take-all competitions and often avoid such settings entirely, which could put women at a significant disadvantage in the labor market. Recent research, however, has challenged this view. One problem with testing for risk averse behavior is the difficulty of finding settings in which people can display it. We find such a setting in the Final Jeopardy segment of the game show Jeopardy! Using data on wagers in Final Jeopardy, we show that women who compete on the show are no more risk averse than men.
