Abstract

We examine the choices of undergraduate students at a French university who are competing for seats at foreign universities to fulfill a mandatory exchange program requirement. We find that average- and high-ability female students request universities that are worse-ranked than their male peers. A survey eliciting students’ preferences suggests that male students prioritize the academic characteristics of exchange universities, whereas similar female students consider both the academic and non-academic characteristics of exchange destinations. We explore the consequences of these differing preferences using a simulation that assigns students to exchange seats solely on university ranking and students’ academic performance.

高等教育中的性别与选择
我们研究了法国一所大学的本科生在竞争国外大学名额以满足强制性交流项目要求时的选择。我们发现,能力一般和能力较强的女生申请的大学排名比男生差。对学生偏好的调查表明,男生优先考虑交换大学的学术特点,而类似的女生则同时考虑交换目的地的学术和非学术特点。我们通过模拟,完全根据大学排名和学生的学业成绩来分配学生的交换席位,探讨了这些不同偏好的后果。

期刊介绍: Economics of Education Review publishes research on education policy and finance, human capital production and acquisition, and the returns to human capital. We accept empirical, methodological and theoretical contributions, but the main focus of Economics of Education Review is on applied studies that employ micro data and clear identification strategies. Our goal is to publish innovative, cutting-edge research on the economics of education that is of interest to academics, policymakers and the public. Starting with papers submitted March 1, 2014, the review process for articles submitted to the Economics of Education Review will no longer be double blind. Authors are requested to include a title page with authors'' names and affiliation. Reviewers will continue to be anonymous.
