Peer Effects and the Gender Gap in Corporate Leadership: Evidence from MBA Students
Women continue to be underrepresented in corporate leadership positions. This paper studies the role of social connections in women's career advancement. We investigate whether access to a larger share of female peers in business school affects the gender gap in senior managerial positions.
Is There a Replication Crisis in Finance?
Several papers argue that financial economics faces a replication crisis because the majority of studies cannot be replicated or are the result of multiple testing of too many factors. We develop and estimate a Bayesian model of factor replication, which leads to different conclusions.
Categorical Thinking about Interest Rates
This paper identifies a common misconception that expected future changes in short-term interest rates predict corresponding future changes in long-term interest rates. People forecast similar shapes for the paths of short and long rates over the next four quarters. This is a mistake because long rates should already incorporate public information about future short rates and do not positively comove with expected changes in short rates.
