چکیده
This document provides supplementary material to our paper “Gender, Competitiveness and Career Choices”. Appendix I presents tables with additional results. This includes descriptive statistics of the control variables (A.I), a comparison of study tracks by gender in the national statistics and in our sample (A.II), the distribution of undergraduate major students by study track at the pre-university level (A.III), estimates of the relation between gender and track choice for different specifications without psychological variables (A.IV), ordered probit estimates of the relation between track choice and explanatory variables for the main specifications (A.V), ordered probit estimates of the relation between track choice and explanatory variables for the main specifications but with class fixed effects instead of school fixed effects (A.VI), ordered probit estimates of the relation between track choice and explanatory variables for the main specifications extended with controls for student age and name-group fixed effects (A.VII), ordered probit estimates of the relation between track choice and explanatory variables for the main specifications where observations are weighted to reproduce the average distribution of chosen tracks by gender in the Netherlands (A.VIII), ordered probit estimates of the relation between track choice and explanatory variables for the main specifications extended with controls for class-level variables (A.IX), ordered probit estimates of the relation between track choice and explanatory variables for the main specifications with alternative assignment of NT/NH and ES/CS students (A.X), ordered probit estimates of the relation between track choice and explanatory variables for the main specifications with NT/NH and ES/CS as separate tracks (A.XI), ordered probit estimates of the relation between track choice and explanatory variables for the main specifications where tracks are ranked according to students’ own rankings (A.XII), linear probability models of the relation between the choice of NT vs other tracks and explanatory variables for the main specifications (A.XIII), linear probability models of the relation between the choice of NT or NH vs ES or CS and explanatory variables for the main specifications (A.XIV), linear probability models of the relation between the choice of CS vs other tracks and explanatory variables for the main specifications (A.XV), linear probability models of the choice of self-ranked best track vs other tracks for the main specifications (A.XVI), and OLS estimates of the relation between track choice and explanatory variables for the main specifications. Appendix II presents a figure about the relation between tournament entry (conditional on performance) by gender and subsequent track choice. Appendix III analyzes the relation between gender and study track choice for four subsamples: i) competitive boys and non-competitive girls, ii) competitive boys and competitive girls, iii) noncompetitive boys and non-competitive girls, and iv) non-competitive boys and competitive girls.
