AMARANTE, Verónica; BUCHELI, Marisa; MORAES, María Inés  and  PEREZ, Tatiana. WOMEN IN RESEARCH IN ECONOMICS IN URUGUAY. Cuad. Econ. [online]. 2021, vol.40, n.spe84, pp.763-790.  Epub Sep 22, 2022. ISSN 0121-4772.  https://doi.org/10.15446/cuad.econ.v40n84.88702.

We analyse gender gaps in published works on economics in Uruguay. First of all, we describe the evolution of the professional context and female participation in the discipline. We then provide an empirical analysis of the research output based on two databases: one containing working papers and technical documents and the other including articles published in journals. The main results are: a) men produce more published articles than women but there is no gender gap in working papers; b) women and men are unevenly represented throughout different fields; c) collaboration with non-local authors is more likely among men than women; d) non-local co-authorship is strongly associated with the gender gap in journal articles production.

Keywords : Gender gaps; economic research; networks; men and women economists.
