Stocks and Flows of Academic Economists

Barbara B. Reagan

American Economic Review 2016

the current stock of women economists in academia, with emphasis on women with new Ph.D.s in economics; 2) are the flows of women economists into the various faculty levels (a) in line with the proportion of women in the relevant stock, and (b) enough greater than the past pattern to suggest affirmative action is occurring; and 3) can the revolving door syndrome be quantified, and is it affecting women disproportionately? These questions pick up the problem at the point of production of Ph.D.s. No analysis is made of the prior issues of reducing barriers to filling the pipe line with women earning Ph.D.s, or of the contributing issues related to encouragement of women after employment
