Onto, Up, Off the Academic Faculty Ladder: The Gendered Effects of Family on Career Transitions for a Cohort of Social Science Ph.D.s (2011, background): “Additionally, at least one study finds that, as the prestige of the institution increases, so does men’s advantage over women in earning tenure (Ginther & Kahn, 2004).”
Women in Economics: Stalled Progress (2019, methodology): “Using the NSF Survey of Doctoral Recipients (SDR), Ginther and Kahn (2004) and Ceci, Ginther, Kahn, and Williams (2014) show trends in the share of female assistant professors and tenured faculty across disciplines since 1973.”
Citations in Economics: Measurement, Uses and Impacts (2018, background): “Thus, Ginther and Kahn (2004), using a sample of junior economists, showed that additional WoS citations, holding article quantity and quality constant, do increase the probability of having a tenured academic position ten years post-PhD, but the impact is small and statistically insignificant.”
Publishing while Female. Are women held to higher standards? Evidence from peer review. (2017, background): “Female economists are less likely to make tenure, take longer when they do and earn much less than their male peers (Bandiera, 2016; Ceci et al., 2014; Ginther and Kahn, 2004; Weisshaar, 2017).”
Does the Gender Composition of Scientific Committees Matter? (2017, background): “However, in most disciplines, the share of women among faculty members remains low even after decades of improved recruitment of women at the undergraduate and the doctoral level (Ginther and Kahn 2004, 2009).”
Stay in the Game: Gender, Family Formation and Alternative Trajectories in the Academic Life Course (2009, result): “This finding is supported by Donna Ginther’s work, which suggests that measured respondent characteristics cannot account for why women still fare worse than men in securing tenure (Ginther 2001; Ginther and Hayes 2003; Ginther and Kahn 2004).”
Gender pairing and bargaining—Beware the same sex! (2009, background): “Numerous field and laboratory studies have addressed the economic behavior of men and women, finding, for instance, differences in the choice of a profession (Sokoloff, 1992), in salaries and promotions (Ginther and Hayes, 2003), job hiring and firing (Ginther and Kahn, 2004), team behavior (Dufwenb”
Gender Differences in Recognition for Group Work (2020, background): “Economics is a relevant setting as there is a large tenure gap between men and women, and because the amount of coauthoring has risen dramatically in recent years (Ginther and Kahn, 2004; Hamermesh, 2013).”
