Abstract
Why do women leave economics so that there is a “leaky pipeline”? I synthesize the research on the gender disparities in the profession and examine this topic further by interviewing women who work in or who have left the profession. I find that structural theories of inequality explain these patterns: women are perceived and treated differently in economics. They are less likely to be respected, valued, and supported and to receive recognition for their work. Consequently, they are less likely to publish, receive tenure and promotion, and stay in the profession. JEL Classification: J7, J10
期刊介绍：
The Review of Radical Political Economics (RRPE) promotes critical inquiry into all areas of economic, social, and political reality. As the journal of the Union for Radical Political Economics, RRPE publishes innovative research in political economy broadly defined including, but not confined to, Marxian economies, post-Keynesian economics, Sraffian economics, feminist economics, and radical institutional economics. We are actively seeking submissions concerned with policy, history of thought, and economics and the environment. RRPE reflects an interdisciplinary approach to the study, development, and application of radical political economic analysis to social problems.
