摘要

我们研究了STEM博士课程中同伴性别构成对持久性和学位完成的影响。利用独特的新数据和项目内队列性别构成的准随机变化，我们发现，进入没有女性同伴的队列的女性在6年内毕业的可能性比男性低11.7%。女生比例每增加1个百分点，女生准时毕业的概率就会增加4.4个百分点。这些性别同伴效应主要通过博士项目第一年退学概率的变化来发挥作用。

Nevertheless She Persisted? Gender Peer Effects in Doctoral STEM Programs.

We study the effects of peer gender composition in STEM doctoral programs on persistence and degree completion. Leveraging unique new data and quasi-random variation in gender composition across cohorts within programs, we show that women entering cohorts with no female peers are 11.7pp less likely to graduate within 6 years than their male counterparts. A 1 sd increase in the percentage of female students differentially increases women's probability of on-time graduation by 4.4pp. These gender peer effects function primarily through changes in the probability of dropping out in the first year of a Ph.D. program.

期刊介绍： Since 1983, the Journal of Labor Economics has presented international research that examines issues affecting the economy as well as social and private behavior. The Journal publishes both theoretical and applied research results relating to the U.S. and international data. And its contributors investigate various aspects of labor economics, including supply and demand of labor services, personnel economics, distribution of income, unions and collective bargaining, applied and policy issues in labor economics, and labor markets and demographics.
