Table 1.
Regression Results for Ph.D. productivity.
Study sample includes the 933 PhD students who defended their thesis in the period 2004–2009. Control for advisor productivity, discipline, number of years since starting the Ph.D., and year of Ph.D. defense apply.
Fig 1.
Average number of publications of students classified by gender.
The average number of publication is calculated every year, starting from 5 years before the thesis defense (d-5) until two years after the thesis defense (d+2).
Fig 2.
Discipline difference in student publications by gender of student and gender of advisor (Baseline is male student and male advisor).
The productivity differences for all disciplines are the graphical representation of the marginal effects of the OLS estimation in Table 1, columns 1 and 2. The productivity differences at discipline level are the marginal effect of an OLS estimation where we interact the student and advisor gender dummies with the discipline dummy. Control for advisor productivity, number of years since starting the Ph.D., and year of Ph.D. defense are applied.
Fig 3.
Average number of publications of students classified by gender of advisor.
The average number of publication is calculated every year starting from 5 years before the thesis defense (d-5) until two years after the thesis defense (d+2).
Fig 4.
Shares of female/male PhD students with female/male advisors.
The shares are calculated for all discipline as well as split by discipline.
Fig 5.
Student publication productivity differences by discipline and by student-advisor gender dyad (baseline male student-male advisor dyad).
The productivity differences for all disciplines are the graphical representation of the marginal effects of the OLS estimation in Table 1, column 3. The productivity differences at discipline level are the marginal effect of an OLS estimation where we interact the student-advisor gender dyad dummies with the discipline dummy. Control for advisor’s productivity, number of years since starting the Ph.D., and year of Ph.D. defense apply.
