We leverage variation in the adoption of coeducation by U.S. women's colleges to study how exposure to a mixed-gender collegiate environment affects women's human capital investments. Our event-study analyses of newly collected historical data find a 3.0-3.5 percentage-point (30-33%) decline in the share of women majoring in STEM. While coeducation caused a large influx of male peers and modest increase in male faculty, we find no evidence that it altered the composition of the female student body or other gender-neutral inputs. Extrapolation of our main estimate suggests that coeducational environments explain 36% of the current gender gap in STEM.

当莎拉遇见劳伦斯:男女同校对女子大学专业选择的影响。



我们利用美国女子大学男女同校情况的差异来研究混合性别大学环境如何影响女性的人力资本投资。我们对新收集的历史数据进行事件研究分析发现,主修 STEM 的女性比例下降了 3.0-3.5 个百分点 (30-33%)。虽然男女同校导致男性同龄人大量涌入,男性教师数量略有增加,但我们没有发现任何证据表明它改变了女性学生群体的构成或其他性别中立的投入。根据我们的主要估计推断,男女同校的环境可以解释当前 STEM 领域 36% 的性别差距。
