So the doctoral program attended is the only individual-specific control? How could anything be learned from this?

So women write worse papers than men and dont get promoted as a result? Doesnt this show the market is working properly?
Genuinely dont understand the problem here.to rectify this they started their own club "gender issues", and you need to be a woman or wear a scarf you knitted yourself to be part of the club

Just remember that when it comes to studies about women, there are only two publishing strategies
1. Show that they are better at something
2. If you cannot P-hack the result that they are better at something, claim that they are worse at something only because of discrimination
Respond to any critiques of approach 2 that the critics are inherently misogynist

Maybe if you stopped knitting and listening to Card when he was presenting, you would publish better.

Does anyone actually believe gender discrimination is important here? I’m a pretty sexist person honestly, but gender is only marginally associated with the things I care about. Conditional on some basic information about the person’s skills, etc., gender is independent of these things. When you’re reviewing papers, or evaluating someone’s job performance, you have so much data available that gender is essentially irrelevant, even if you (correctly in my view) think that absent any other information gender is predictive of relevant outcomes. You could maybe argue that this marginal gender tax shrinks the pool that get through that first door, but among those who do get through that door, it’s hard for me to believe there continues to be much of any tax in practice.
