Women who failed to obtain tenure during a change to Spain's academic qualification system were less likely than men to obtain it later on. Departments that promoted more women graduated more female PhDs.

Figure: The departmental spillovers of promoting a woman. Estimated effect of a female qualification to associate professor on cumulative departmental outcomes, by year following the qualification exam. A) Number of women hired or promoted to associate professor; B) Number of female PhD graduates; C) Number of female PhD graduates remaining research-active (publishing at least one paper within five years of graduation); D) Number of female PhD graduates promoted to tenure within ten years of graduation. Women remain underrepresented in the upper ranks of academia, but evidence on the mechanisms behind this has been scarce. This column exploits a change in the Spanish academic qualification system that centralised introduced quasi-random variation in candidates’ evaluation committees to explore the consequences of failing to obtain tenure. Women who failed to obtain tenure during the change were less likely than men to obtain it later in their careers, while departments that promoted a woman went on to promote more women and graduate more female PhDs than comparable departments. The findings suggest that the scarcity of senior women is partly self-perpetuating, and that promotion systems where failure is hard to undo and the decision falls during the prime years for family formation may particularly disadvantage women.
