Closing out the session was @avivihadar.bsky.social presenting estimates using very cool NLP/embedding data on the extent, impacts, and costs of gender bias in patent evaluations over time in the US

Next was @ashleyywong.bsky.social, estimating the impact of colleges going co-ed on the production of knowledge of faculty members

(no explanation for the 🎃🦇-themed color of the slide...that was my phone, not reality)

She was followed by Reshmaan Husaam of HBS, presenting experimental work from camps of Rohingya refugees evaluating the impacts on psychosocial wellbeing and household beliefs of offering work to either the male or female spouse in the household

Session 2 summaries!

We were started off by Arielle Bernhardt from NYU, presenting work from an RCT in India estimating the impacts on a wide range of outcomes of giving new female police officers either mentors or another incoming police officer who is also female

@draliceevans.bsky.social came next, showing part of an exciting upcoming book about the global growth of Islam and the gender sources and implications of this

Next was @martinauccioli.bsky.social, presenting work showing how layoffs for male and female household members have differential impacts on return to work and household division of labor

Leading off was Raquel Fernandez of NYU, presenting a structural model estimated on admin from Sweden showing that more paternity leave made available for men changes how much leave men and women take, partly through cultural change

Going to try my hand at one-sentence summaries (h/t to @joshua-goodman.com for doing this so deftly for other conferences!)
