摘要

为什么经济学专业毕业的女性如此之少?我们调查了2010年至2019年意大利大学经济学毕业生的性别差距。女性从经济学专业毕业的概率比男性低27%，这一差距比商业甚至STEM专业都要大。性别差距和高中课程数学内容之间的联系在经济学中尤为明显。一项三重差异分析显示，一项提高传统低数学课程数学内容的改革导致性别差距扩大，女性在经济学专业毕业的概率下降了12个百分点。

Adams and Eves: High school math and the gender gap in Economics majors

Why so few women graduate in Economics? We investigate the gender gap among Italian university graduates in Economics between 2010 and 2019. With women's probability of graduating in Economics being 27% lower than men's, the gap is larger than in Business and even STEM. The association between the gender gap and the mathematical content of high school curricula is especially strong in Economics. A triple difference analysis shows that a reform raising the mathematical content of traditionally low math curricula caused an increase in the gender gap, with women's probability of graduating in Economics decreasing by 12 percentage points.

期刊介绍： Published since 1962, (formerly Western Economic Journal), EI is widely regarded as one of the top scholarly journals in its field. Besides containing research on all economics topic areas, a principal objective is to make each article understandable to economists who are not necessarily specialists in the article topic area. Nine Nobel laureates are among EI long list of prestigious authors.
