The rise in female representation in the top 5% appears to be a global phenomenon, with increases observed in both North America/Europe and the "rest of the world." The trend is slightly stronger in North America and Europe, but these regions also had more ground to cover in terms of catching up.

The growth for regions other than US/Canada/Europe is primarily driven by scholars from Eastern Asia, Southern Asia and South America. Unfortunately, Africa remains extremely underrepresented.

While these numbers are super low, there's a small of positive change, ... a slow one.
- The share of women has edged up from roughly 9% to 12% over the past 12 years. Progress, but the pace is too slow!
- Representation from "the rest of the world" has increased from 16% to 25% in 2025.

How is economics doing in terms of representation of women and researchers with a region of origin outside North America or Europe?
I looked at the top 5% authors on RePEc in the last 12 years.
- Only 12% are women
- 25% a region of origin other than US/Canada/Europe

Need to predict people's gender or region of origin from their name for your research? Check out my python package "nametrace" which provides a simple modern API to do just that.

Are you using LLMs for your research and want to classify millions of text? This can be a very slow and expensive process. But it doesn't have to be. In my blogpost I explain how to use multiple GPUs and vLLM to analyse thousands of texts with an LLM super fast!

Want to learn how to run your own version of Deepseek R1 or Meta's LLAMA model on a remote high-performance computing server? I wrote a brief blog post explaining how you can install and run the models using ollama.

Can we learn something about gender and age from a person's tweets? Yes! In a new project with
Lorenzo Luro, Mahyar Habibi, Dirk Hovy and Carlo Schwarz, we provide a labeled dataset of 20k Twitter users. We show that demographic classifiers using tweets outperform traditional tools.
