Title: Gender Differences in Research Patterns Among PhD Economists

Abstract: Despite sample differences in all types of research output, the male dummy variable is not statistically significant across outputs.  Number of years since receipt of PhD, publication in a refereed journal as a graduate student, and the total number of presentations made in professional forums were consistently, positively related to research productivity.
