Replication Data and Code for: Moving in Academia: Who Moves and What Happens After?

We study labor mobility among academic economists in the US. Analyzing CV data from over 6,000 economists at R1 institutions, we document that female Assistant and Associate Professors are 8 percentage points less likely to move with promotion than their male counterparts. Women are also more likely than men to relocate to lower-ranked institutions. Event study graphs reveal that men working in departments that receive a new faculty member see their publication output increase by more than twice as much as that of women in these departments. Our findings highlight significant gender differences in who moves and what happens after.

我们研究美国学术经济学家群体中的劳动力流动现象。通过分析来自R1研究型大学（R1 institutions）的6000余名经济学家的简历数据，我们发现女性助理教授和副教授在晋升时流动的可能性比男性同行低8个百分点。女性也比男性更有可能搬迁至排名较低的机构。事件研究图显示，在引入新教员的院系中，男性的发表产出增长幅度是女性的两倍以上。我们的研究结果凸显了在流动主体及流动后结果方面存在显著的性别差异。
