Abstract

This project involves a multistep, multisite, theory-informed randomized controlled trial designed to increase the presence and success of women in economics and mathematics. The project will make four contributions: (1) Add to the scant evidence about what deters or attracts women to economics and mathematics; (2) Intervene at understudied early stages (high school and incoming college students); (3) Test the interventions at multiple sites to assess scalability; and (4) Design the interventions so that the team can disentangle various mechanisms that contribute to low rates of participation in economics and mathematics by women.
