Dear All, Please find below the invitation to the IN PERSON CEU Economic Seminar Series (CESS) presentation. On Tuesday, Roberto Weber<https://www.econ.uzh.ch/en/people/faculty/weber.html> (U of Zurich) will talk about: 'Continuous Gender Identity and Economic Decision Making' (with Anne Ardila Brenøe, Lea Heursen, and Eva Ranehill) Time and venue: October 03, Tuesday, 11.15am - 12.30pm, at Quellenstrasse 51 (Vienna), QS B-505. ABSTRACT: Economic research on gender gaps in preferences and economic outcomes has identified gaps with respect to sex-a binary classification as either a "man" or "woman." We investigate the value of incorporating a continuous measure of self-reported gender identity into economics by exploring whether gender identity correlates with variation in economic decisions and outcomes beyond the explanatory power of binary sex. We validate a novel and simple measure of continuous gender identity (CGI) that correlates with measures used in gender research outside economics. We employ this validated measure in five datasets (N=8,213) measuring several dimensions of economic preferences and educational and labor market outcomes. Our results yield mixed evidence that CGI correlates with economic behaviors and outcomes when accounting for binary sex: CGI has little relationship with incentivized preference measures, but is correlated with a number of unincentivized preference measures and with educational choices and labor market outcomes that are stereotypically associated with females. Our results suggest that incorporating self-reported measures of gender identity may have some value for understanding economic behaviors and for targeting policy.
