It's inaccurate to claim the man has made no correct statements, or no empirical statements. And it's naive and foolish to consider him stupid, as many people do. I don't know about "empirically correct", but his discussion of the gender pay gap is certainly empirically grounded.

what?! his discussion of the gender pay gap is where he gets precipitously owned by actual economists.

Actual economists debunk the gender pay gap routinely!

This isn't true.
@PikaGoldin doesn't debunk the wage gap - she's one of the people who has found the best evidence for it. See Golsina and Rouse: https://www.aeaweb.org/articles?id=10.1257/aer.90.4.715 …1 reply 0 retweets 2 likes -

I keep being sent the musicians thing. I send the one showing blind applications benefit women in STEM in response.

The linked paper you did is hypothetical. It doesn't match the findings with actual hires. It's important to look at the overall field, not cherry pick studies that agree with youn

We could both say that to each other. Let's not. If you can show men and women getting paid different amounts for the same jobs for the same hours, I'll believe that is happening.

Helen, again that wouldn't actually prove anything. Women and men make *choices* about how much they work.

Well, that's what I want to know. Whether the pay gap is being caused by women being paid less for the same work as men. If they're being paid less because because of their own choices, I don't care. They have the right to choose that.

If they are paid less because of discrimination, they will choose to work less. Opportunity cost.

So showing that they are paid less because of discrimination would be good. Is that possible or is that very late on the causal chain too?

Yes, which is why we run experimental studies. Randomized experiments mean that we know what caused the difference.
