Gender Homophily, Collaboration, and Output

No 2023-02, Economics working papers from Department of Economics, Johannes Kepler University Linz, Austria

Abstract: We consider the implications of gender homophily in Economics, which has persisted despite the significant increase in women in the field. As women remain underrepresented, gender homophily may serve as a constraint in collaboration. It could also lead to less gender diverse co-author teams than may be optimal in terms of generating high quality research papers. We show that gender homophily neither constrains collaboration nor prevents higher quality output.
