Gender Differences in Recognition for Group Work

Women economists receive less credit for co-authored papers, contributing to a tenure gap. While solo-authored publications benefit men and women equally, each additional co-authored paper increases a man's tenure probability significantly more than a woman's, especially when co-authoring with men. This bias in credit attribution appears to be driven by beliefs about ability and not by actual differences in contribution, as demonstrated by experiments.

Women's Empowerment in Action: Evidence from a Randomized Control Trial in Africa

A program combining vocational training, life skills education, and social support in Uganda led to significant improvements in adolescent girls' economic activity (48% increase in income-generating activities), reproductive health (34% decrease in teen pregnancy), and agency (30% decrease in reported non-consensual sex). The positive effects persisted even four years after the intervention, highlighting the potential of multifaceted programs to empower young women in developing countries.
