论文摘要

尽管有证据表明,男人比男性更慷慨,但这可能源于家长式主义,并且当女性在重要技能方面的职业成功(例如认知技能)中表现出色时,可能会扭转。使用独裁者游戏,本文研究了男性独裁者在这些接收者的智商高于独裁者时,对女性接收者的分配比男性接收者少。通过外源性地改变接收者的“智商相对于独裁者”,我找不到与这一假设一致的证据。如果有的话,男性独裁者将智商较高的女性接收者分配得更多,而不是为具有同等智商的男性接收者。结果既具有均值和分配,并且对所谓的``美容溢价''是强大的。而且,女独裁者的分配在质性上与男性独裁者相似。这些发现表明,在认知技能方面表现出色的女性可能不会比劳动力市场上同样聪明的男性获得良好的待遇。

Although evidence suggests men are more generous to women than to men, it may stem from paternalism and could reverse when women excel in important skills for one's career success, such as cognitive skills. Using a dictator game, this paper studies whether male dictators allocate less to female receivers than to male receivers when these receivers have higher IQs than dictators. By exogenously varying the receivers' IQ relative to the dictators', I do not find evidence consistent with this hypothesis; if anything, male dictators allocate slightly more to female receivers with higher IQs than to male receivers with equivalent IQs. The results hold both in mean and distribution and are robust to the so-called ``beauty premium.'' Also, female dictators' allocations are qualitatively similar to male dictators. These findings suggest that women who excel in cognitive skills may not receive less favorable treatment than equally intelligent men in the labor market.
