In secondar education, same-sex teacher effects are generally positive for all outcomes.
For test scores, effects even appear constant (and tiny) across all included countries.

Our results show clear differences between primary and secondary education.
In primary education: effects are mixed. For example, same-sex teacher effects on test scores are positive in only half of the countries.

Don’t worry, we are economists and care about causality.
In our preferred specification, we exploit that the same student has a female math teacher and a male science teacher (or vice versa).
Our estimates are very stable across different specifications.

We use two large datasets that allow us to estimate same-sex teacher effects in primary and secondary education in 90 countries (TIMSS and PIRLS)

In the literature,
· average effects are small (0.03 SD)
· most studies have small samples
· estimates vary a lot

NO in primary education,
YES in secondary education.
