  1. On this article about the lack of women in economics (chronicle.com/article/Can-Economics-Fix-Its/245460), it’s reported that female are well underrepresented in econ starting from undergrad - in the US. In France, female students represents a slight majority of the students! (cache.media.enseignementsup-recherche.gouv.fr/file/Charte_egalite_femmes_hommes/90/6/Chiffres_parite_couv_vdef_239906.pdf)

      I have no explanation -yet. Because the pipeline is also somewhat leaking over there too, especially for full professorship. But it’s less severe in France. Source: blocnotesdeleco.banque-france.fr/sites/default/files/billet_51_fr.pdf by @SZignago

        Also, in the French system students have to choose their field *before* enrolling. There’s no major/minor. For instance you enroll for an econ « licence », a law licence... (undergrad diploma, 180 ECTS points).

          Anyway, I still don’t have a hypothesis to explain this difference. I just thought it’s interesting to point it out.
