The Effects of Professor Gender on the Postgraduation Outcomes of Female Students
National Bureau of Economic Research(2022)
摘要
Although women earn approximately 50% of science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) bachelor's degrees, more than 70% of scientists and engineers are men. The authors explore a potential determinant of this STEM gender gap using newly collected data on the career trajectories of United States Air Force Academy students. Specifically, they examine the effects of being assigned female math and science professors on occupation choice and postgraduate education. The results indicate that, among high-ability female students, being assigned a female professor leads to substantial increases in the probability of working in a STEM occupation and the probability of receiving a STEM master's degree.
