Abstract
Why do women leave economics so that there is a "leaky pipeline"? I synthesize the research on the gender disparities in the profession and examine this topic further by interviewing women who work in or who have left the profession. I find that structural theories of inequality explain these patterns: women are perceived and treated differently in economics. They are less likely to be respected, valued, and supported and to receive recognition for their work. Consequently, they are less likely to publish, receive tenure and promotion, and stay in the profession. JEL Classification: J7, J10
