The Math Gender Gap: The Role of Test-Taking Environment
écrit avec Co-author: Almudena Sevilla
There are certain situations, such as those where the importance of performing well on a particular occasion, produce pressure. Events which contribute to higher levels of pressure, competition or stress, may lead to situations where women may under-perform men. In this paper we exploit the random allocation of male and female students to exams performed under different levels (external vs. internal administered tests) of pressure to understand their causal effect on gender performance gaps. We use administrative data on the performance of primary-school students in the Region of Madrid. We find that the gender gap increases with the presence of an external administered test for male-dominated subjects, such as Mathematics and Sciences. The effect is not significant for female-dominated subjects (i.e. English and Spanish).
