Do Job Networks Disadvantage Women? Evidence from a Recruitment Experiment in Malawi (2018, background): “…2002), deregulation and globalization (Black and Strahan 2001; Black and Brainerd 2004), and differences in psychological attributes and preferences, such as risk preferences, attitudes toward competition, other-regarding preferences, and negotiation (Niederle and Vesterlund 2007; Bertrand 2011).”
Does Gender Inequality Hinder Development and Economic Growth? Evidence and Policy Implications (2013, background): “Although significant differences are observed in the laboratory, these traits fail to explain different outcomes in real workplaces (Bertrand 2010).”
Do Women Give Up Competing More Easily? Evidence from the Lab and the Dutch Math Olympiad (2016, background): “Participants who enter the competition and outperform their opponent receive twice the piece rate, those who enter the competition and lose receive no payment in that round.”
Gender, Stock Market Participation and Financial Literacy (2015, neutral): “Women are typically more risk averse than men on average (see, e.g., Eckel and Grossman 2008, Croson and Gneezy 2009, or Bertrand 2011 for reviews).”

Why women don’t run: Experimental evidence on gender differences in political competition aversion (2015, background): “…offices, about 24 percent of state legislative seats, and 10 percent of governorships.2 In addition to the commonly expressed inequity concerns, these significant gender imbalances in leadership have important implications for economic and policy outcomes (see Bertrand, 2011 for a review).”
Female leadership and gender equity: Evidence from plant closure (2015, methodology): “We also contribute to the extensive literature measuring gender differences in the labor market, surveyed by Altonji and Blank (1999) and Bertrand (2010).”
