[HELP NEEDED] Economists, can you name a paper published between 1970 and 2000, solo-authored by a woman, which was influential for you or for the development of your field? (SG: pics are Alice Rivlin, Nancy Stokey, Anne Krueger and Jennifer Roback)

8:12 AM · Feb 12, 2019·Twitter Web Client Now a sample of replies and my own reaction:

· Feb 12 Replying to @Undercoverhist 1/ Thank you, #econtwitter, you’re awesome. Here’s some context abt question above, and a shopping list for those econs working on gender issues within the profession. It began w/ @MarisolEcon wondering why Roback 82 is often mentioned as “Rosen-Roback” in the literature 1 8 22

Roback 82 (JPE http://unionstats.gsu.edu/9220/Roback(19 82)_J PE_Wag es,%20Rents,%20and%20the%20Quality%20of%20Life.pdf…) shaping up to be among, if not THE top-cited paper in response, is foundational paper in spatial/urban econ. Roughly, she builds on the work of her then Rochester advisor S. Rosen on hedonic pricing (74) & quality of life indexes (79)

Replying to @Undercoverhist 3/to write GE model explaining local location of workers & firms as response to wages & rents tradeoffs, themselves related to amount of possibly productive amenities (crime/pollution/weather etc) in cities + provides US cities QoL rankings computed from implicit prices estimates 1 7

Beatrice Cherrier @Undercoverhist

· Feb 12 4/ Her paper thus provides new explanation of regional wage ≠. Now, there are many reasons to "bundle" papers together. My 1st reaction was that it’s common to signal

3 agreement on basic model framework to establish field scientificity (as in earlier “Muth- Alonso-Mill” model) 1 6 &/or gender biais Let me be clear: I HAVE NO EVIDENCE of this, but whether solo-authored

papers tend to be bundled w/

in naming workhorse model, co-cited w/

paper/ less cited than paper by same

/ less cited than equivalent

paper by

ARE ??? WORTH ASKING

Replying to @Undercoverhist 7/These are ?? abt how credit & influence have been given & defined in past decades. @saskatchewin has famously studied how credit is granted through linking paper authorship w/ tenure. There are probably other papers on credit/influence across time that I don’t remember ...

9/ Don’t have time to count, but seems 50ish single authors so far. Time boundaries reflect my view of a consistent regime of citation for

econs. 1970 is when feminist reckoning spills over profession + gradual rise in prestige of applied econ in which many

are specialized

10/ 2000 +/- 2 years is feminist wave waning, plateau then reversal in graduation, promotion & wage of

econ in @AEACSWEP data, normalization of empirical econ prestige w/ stream of 90s JBC medals. Post-2000 is another publication regime, would have yielded very ≠ nominations 1 7

11/ Will do responses summary response (please think abt your response before checking thread, add “+1” tweet even if paper already cited so that I can get a sense of influence intensity – not a rigorous design, I’m just looking for intuition, but “likes” of no use here)
