通过研究男性和女性学者合著论文来进一步说明性别歧视的存在。

A-long-way-from-home economics

Economists are increasingly aware of this. David Laibson, the chair of Harvard’s economics faculty, has brought in Mahzarin Banaji, a leading researcher on implicit bias, to brief search and promotion committees. The representation of women is not the only issue here; economics departments are also unrepresentative in terms of faculty from various minorities. Mr Laibson is pushing his committees to lean less on intuition and opinion and more on engagement with the research itself when making decisions.

经济学家们开始认识到性别歧视的存在，并开始采取相应的措施了。

unrepresentative 非典型的

lean on 依赖 …

intuition 直觉

engagement

[U] when you become involved with someone or something in order to understand them

(与…的)密切关系

Because people research things based on their experiences, greater representation of women in the field would change it in a number of ways. For one thing, it would take gender more seriously. Men have not proved particularly interested in understanding gender disparity; almost all of the research on gender discrimination within economics is done by women.

如果经济学领域的女性学者数量上升，也能够缓解本领域的性别歧视现象。

There may be deep structural barriers to break through. Historians note that, over the course of the 20th century, economics was butched up. In 1920, 19% of doctorates listed in the American Economic Review were being written by women. By 1940 the number had fallen to 7%. This coincided with a redefinition of the field towards mathematics and the world of paid and thus predominantly male labour. Concerns such as social work and home economics, in which women tended to specialise, were sidelined.

但是，客观来看，完全消除经济学领域的性别歧视现象存在难度。通过古今数据对比变化来说明经济学领域正在慢慢变得男性化。

Today, women in economics gravitate towards more people-oriented subdisciplines like health, education, development and labour. Emmanuelle Auriol, who co-ordinates a network of female European economists, worries that this may disadvantage both those fields and the women who work in them. Journal editors and reviewers (who are mostly male) are less likely to be familiar with the subfields in which women are more represented; they may also think them less important.

It is possible the greater representation of women in these areas lowers their prestige. Whether that greater representation is a matter of choice—women may for various reasons find such work more interesting—or a result of women being pushed towards less prestigious topics is hard to say. If the latter, the dynamics will favour a vicious circle.

gravitate

to be attracted to something and therefore move towards it or become involved with it

被吸引到

It is not just the topics women work on that matters; it is how they work on them. Becker won a Nobel Prize in part for his work on families and households—areas where female scholars tend to concentrate. His approach, though, was theoretical, while much of the work done by women has tended to be more applied and thus, Ms Cherrier points out, less prestigious. Up until the 1980s the data collection, microsimulations and randomised-control trials (RCTs) that women tended to do would struggle to reach the top journals.

theoretical 理论上的

Since the 1980s, as applied microeconomics has become more prestigious and economists have changed the ways their theories have been tested, the women who have tended to do this sort of work have achieved better publication records, and risen in rank. But some, including Ms Cherrier, fear a backlash. For example, increasing criticism has been levelled at the RCTs in development economics disproportionately carried out by women. Rachel Glennerster, the director of the Abdul Latif Jameel Poverty Action Lab, a research outfit based at MIT that runs RCTs, worries that some of this criticism has a rather macho materiality, seeing health and education as minor relative to “bigger” issues like ports and roads. She repeatedly meets people who underestimate how hard the RCT approach is to run well. “As a society,” she wonders, “do we assume things are easier if there are more women doing them?”

举例说明在学术领域，性别歧视的存在: 女性研究的领域都是小儿科，不受重视。（读到这里，我的斗志被再次激发~~）

backlash

a strong negative reaction by a number of people against recent events, especially against political or social developments

〔尤指对政治或社会事件的〕强烈反应，反对，抵制

levelled 使平等

disproportionately 不成比例的

macho

behaving in a way that is traditionally typical of men, for example being strong or brave, or not showing your feelings – used humorously or in order to show disapproval

富有男子汉气概的，大男人的〔幽默用法或含贬义〕

materiality

the state or quality of being physical or material 物质性

underestimate 低估

Imbalances in power built deep into society are difficult to identify with an economist’s level of rigour. Gender cannot be switched on and off to see what would happen without it. But on the basis that economics does have a problem, various interventions might help. Approaches to family leave that don’t privilege men; scrutiny of the higher drop-out rate of female undergraduates; explicit description of each author’s contribution to co-authored papers, as is common in other disciplines; frank discussion of implicit biases. Some such interventions are easier than others. For example, studies show that having more women on the faculty is a powerful encouragement for women seeking postgraduate positions. But if the number of women on faculties could readily be raised, the problem would already have been solved.

总后一段呢，作出总结，说点煽情的论点。用语文老师的话说就是要引起读者共鸣。

intervention

the act of becoming involved in an argument, fight, or other difficult situation in order to change what happen

干涉，干预，介入

scrutiny

careful and thorough examination of someone or something

仔细的审视；彻底的检查

explicit

expressed in a way that is very clear and direct
