We study whether female students benefit from being taught by female professors, and whether such gender match effects differ by class size. We use administrative records of a German public university, covering all programs and courses between 2006 and 2018. We find that gender match effects on...

We investigate the presence of gender bias in student evaluation of teaching (SET) scores with a natural field experiment in India. We employ a novel experimental design, randomly assigning 504 economics students to an identical audiovisual class taught either in a female or male voice. We find...

Past research shows that students’ educational outcomes improve when their race is the same as their teachers’ race. One explanation for this finding is the Role Model effect: instructors increase same-race students’ motivation by updating their beliefs on returns to education and...

We use roster data of 96 top U.S. economics departments to document the academic origins of their tenure-track faculty. Academic origins may have implications for how undergraduate (B.A.) and doctoral (Ph.D.) students are trained and placed, as well as the type of research produced. We find that...

I study the impact of online instruction on teaching evaluations at a higher education institution in Spain. Using a difference-in-differences approach, I show that in the semester when teaching moved online, female lecturers were evaluated more poorly than in previous semesters. The performance...

This study was undertaken with the major aim of gaining insight into the migration and job-quitting behaviours of academic staff of Nigerian Universities. The sample for the study comprised of 800 lecturers drawn randomly and stratified by age, rank and sex. The instrument used for data...

The prevalence of discrimination and harassment in academic settings is difficult to measure accurately.
