The Effect of an Anonymous Grading Reform for Male and Female University Students

Joakim Jansson and Björn Tyrefors

No 1506, Working Paper Series from Research Institute of Industrial Economics

Abstract: This paper presents evidence that anonymous grading benefits female university students based on a university-wide reform. Female grades improve by 0.04-0.06 standard deviations relative to males, with the effect strongest in smaller classes and male-dominated departments.
