We focus on a self- directed measure of productivity: working paper output. This avoids potential sex biases in the peer-review process. We find that men produce more working papers than women in Irish economics departments, and that authors with more working papers get promoted at higher rates. We do not find any differences in promotion rates by sex, whether in levels, returns to productivity, or coauthorship patterns.enGender discriminationPromotionResearchProductivityJ16J24J71M51Working Paper113https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/ie/
