Gender and Research Partnerships in Economics

Given the recent discussion about women's opportunities in Silicon Valley and in academic economics, I took a look at my own record.  I have published six books.  I wrote 4 by myself and 2 with co-authors.  Both of my co-authors (Dora Costa) and (Siqi Zheng) are women.  

In terms of journal articles, out of my roughly 130 publications --- I see that I have published 40 papers featuring at least 1 female co-author and I have worked with 10 different women on these papers.  

I have written 30 papers that each have at least 100 Google Scholar cites.  11 of these papers feature at least 1 female co-author.  

REPEC could add diversity criteria for ranking economists.  It wasn't my intent to rise on this margin but I do like what I see.
