Go to Google Scholar and search under economics starting from the most cited economist (Karl Marx) and descend down the food chain.   The point of this blog post is that I saw a lot of dudes.  I had to go 310 deep into the pool to reach the 10th woman.  To be this 10th woman in this list, you have to be a woman, have a very good citation trail and you have to register on Google.  Many women are well cited but why do so few women take the relatively low cost step of signing up for Google Scholar?     Is your explanation that dudes likes sports and Google citation counting is another baseball statistic?    If academic economists (regardless of gender) are equally likely to sign up for Google Scholar, then I would guess that women should be 15% of the top cited academics.  This 3% share looks way too small.   As Apple has shown, marketing is a big part of success in the modern economy.  Why don't many academic women "lean in" on Google Scholar?
