Résumé
We exploit the unique features of the promotion system for French academics to examinethe causes of the promotion gap between men and women. Promotions occur throughnational competitions for which we have information on candidates and on those eligibleto be candidates. We find that gender has no significant effect on candidates promotionrates. In contrast, women have a lower probability to be candidates, which is not driven bydifferences in the objective costs or rewards of the contest. A possible interpretation of ourresults is that women are less willing than men to participate in contests, in line with recentexperimental evidence.
