Abstract: "The Economic History profession faces the same challenges as the rest of UK academe, especially from the Research Assessment Exercises. Interdisciplinary researchers are perceived to be at a disadvantage due to the RAE panel system. There is evidence that strategic hiring behaviour is occurring to boost RAE grades. Established staff are able to use this to their advantage, but it is likely to be to the detriment of later cohorts. This exacerbates an existing gender gap and may inhibit the future development of the profession. "
