Abstract: We examine determinants of coauthorship behavior and how coauthorship relates to research productivity and other career outcomes for academic economists. We supplement a unique dataset containing economics Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) graduates' demographic, PhD program, advisor, and other characteristics with measures of their coauthorship behavior and research productivity. Significant gender differences in the formation and effects of coauthorship are found. Students with female advisors and women from lower‐ranked programs had a higher propensity to coauthor, and coauthorship is associated with more research output and more publications in top economics journals. However, women received less credit toward tenure when coauthoring with men or advisors.
