Team competition: Eliminating the gender gap in competitiveness
It is often found that women do not like competitive environments as much as men do (Niederle and Vesterlund (2007), Booth (2009)...). This research studies the gender differences in competitiveness in the case of team competition. While women do not enter the tournament significantly more often when it is team-based, men enter significantly less when they are part of a team rather than alone. ...

Usual estimates of the female-male wage gap may be biased because female selection could be different in different parts of the labor market. This paper proposes an estimator for the wage gap in models with unobserved heterogeneity in the selection rule. It applies to the subpopulation of “always employed” women, which is similar to men in labor force attachment. Using CPS data from 1976 to 200...
متن کاملThe λ Switch: cI Closes the Gap in Autoregulation
Bacteriophage λ provided one of the early paradigms for studying gene control and understanding how molecular switches work [1]. After infection by bacteriophage λ, two possible fates, reflecting alternative patterns of gene expression, await the bacterial host cell. Either the bacteriophage enters the lytic pathway, in which case the host cell ultimately lyses to release a burst of progeny pha...

Recent advances have highlighted the evolutionary significance of female competition, with the sexes pursuing different competitive strategies and women reserving their most intense competitive behaviors for the benefit of offspring. Influential economic experiments using cash incentives, however, have found evidence suggesting that women have a lower desire to compete than men. We hypothesize ...
