This article presents and explores a rich new data source to analyse the determinants of pay and job rank amongst academic Economists in the UK. Characteristics associated with individual productivity and workplace features are found to be important determinants of the relative wage and...

An undergraduate course in development economics presents an ideal opportunity to introduce students to the importance of gender differences in economic outcomes. This article argues that a systematic integration of gender into development economics courses based on standard textbooks is...

Colleges and universities routinely use evaluation scores to assess the quality of an instructor's teaching for purposes of promotion and tenure, and for merit raise allocations. This paper applies a feasible generalized least squares model to a panel of data from master's-level classes. We find...

Presented are estimates of the effects of class size on course grades in a one semester course in introductory economics at a medium size land grant institution in the Southwest. Demonstrated is that the grades of Hispanic undergraduates and white males are lowered by nontrivial amounts when...

We use meta-regression analysis to investigate the extent and nature of the gender gap - that male students outperform otherwise equivalent female students in economics courses. We survey 65 studies containing 279 distinct regressions from the past 30 years and conclude that the gender gap is...

How can we promote informed financial participation and reduce the gap in financial confidence between men and women? We conduct a large field experiment that enables and incentivizes working age men and women---a challenging group to reach with standard financial training programs---to trade...

This article argues that a systematic integration of gender into labor economics courses based on standard textbooks is both beneficial and straightforward. An undergraduate course in labor economics presents an ideal opportunity to introduce students to the importance of gender differences in...

This paper uses two large databases to determine if students of a given gender learn more from instructors of the same gender and if instructors of a given gender receive higher ratings from students of the same gender compared to students of the opposite gender. The Indiana University (IU) data...
