Sex-based sorting among economists: Evidence from the NBER

Abstract: I compare the co-authorship patterns of male and female economists using historical data on National Bureau of Economic Research working papers. Males tended to work in smaller teams than females, but co-authored more papers and so had more co-authors overall. Males and females co-authored with members of the same sex more often than would be expected if co-authorships were random. This was especially true for males in Macro/Finance.
