摘要

更多地接触性别角色信息会影响女孩的学习成绩。利用中国中学的课堂随机化，我们发现同龄人的职业母亲的增加显著提高了女孩的数学成绩。这种接触也减少了对数学和未来职业的性别态度。长时间的接触和疏远的亲子关系增强了同伴母亲的影响。作为对未观察到的混杂因素的证伪检验，我们发现接触同龄人的职业母亲并不影响男孩的结果。

Composition of peer mothers and gender norms: Class randomization and short-run effects

Increased exposure to gender-role information affects a girl’s educational performance. Leveraging the classroom randomization in Chinese middle schools, we find that the increased presence of peers’ working mothers significantly enhances a girl’s performance in mathematics. The exposure also reduces gendered attitudes toward mathematics and future careers. Long exposure and a distant parent–daughter relationship enhance peer mothers’ influences. As falsification tests against unobserved confounding factors, we find that exposure to peers’ working mothers does not affect boys’ outcomes.

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.
