Women have a 31% lower hazard of becoming a full prof. Conditional on publications, citations and other controls, the gap remains high at 18% and is driven by research-intensive universities. Indeed, the share of female full profs is lowest at higher-ranked Econ departments. n/n

In 2020, U.S. PhD-granting Econ departments only had 2 female full profs on average and 25% of departments had none. Full professors may be especially important though for departmental decisions (i.e., hiring and tenure), departmental climate, seminar culture and mentoring. 3/n.
