Research

Her research mainly focuses on charitable giving and gender differences in the labor market. She has published in leading journals such as the Quarterly Journal of Economics [8][9] and the American Economic Review[10] and her work has been quoted over 10000 times.[11] In her most quoted paper[11] (with Muriel Niederle), "Do Women Shy Away From Competition? Do Men Compete Too Much?", they examine in a laboratory environment how men and women react differently to competition. They find that men prefer competition as they tend to be overconfident.[9] Her research has been featured in news outlets including the New York Times,[12] the Washington Post[13], The Atlantic,[14] Bloomberg,[15] Time magazine,[16] and CNBC.[17]
